“Kitchen Confidential”: Restaurant Workers Reveal Industry Secrets In 38 Honest Posts

Article created by: Mindaugas Balčiauskas

It’s hard to work in a restaurant and not become a cynic. I mean, have you seen Kitchen Nightmares? Owners doing drugs on the premises; stealing their own stock from business partners and family members; taking tips from hardworking staff to stuff their own pockets; chefs having to pay suppliers themselves as accounts are closed; customers bringing their own bells for when they need the server’s attention; bailiffs appearing on the premises… The list goes on. I’m not saying every establishment is toxic. Just that you never know what’s happening behind the counter. However, there’s a perfect place to learn — a subreddit called r/KitchenConfidential. It has 378k members, constantly making honest and funny posts about the industry, and they paint quite the picture!

#2 Lost My Job As A Receptionist Due To Covid And Got A Job As A Dishwasher To Make Ends Meet

Today, during rush hour, the chef guided me into making these because he was swamped. I know it’s not much, but I’m proud. I’ve discovered a passion. He’s helping me pick out a government culinary school.

#9 My Dad Just Sent This To Me Asking “Is This True?”

This picture really hit home with me.

I cook over 1k plates a week for people to enjoy dinner with their families and friends. And this is how i usually eat dinner. Like this or hunched over a garbage can. So if you have a chef in your life keep this picture in mind and maybe cook them a meal, sit down with them and have a nice dinner. Something like this may seem small to others but it means a lot to people like us.
