If we, “normies,” have learned anything from The Bear, it is that working in a professional kitchen is not for the faint-hearted. Perhaps there’s less shouting and familial drama, but the stressful environment is definitely there. According to the National Restaurant Association, the restaurant and foodservice industry accounts for 10% of the U.S. total workforce.

But working in restaurants comes with its own joys and challenges. There’s the high turnover rate, demanding customers, incompetent prep cooks, and accidental spills that make you want to crawl inside the Earth’s crust and never come back. The folks at “Kitchen Confidential” have seen it all, and if you’ve ever cried in a walk-in freezer, these posts might be relatable to you, too.

Satakans:
To my understanding (not in the US so check your local regulations), bleach in a MEASURED ratio is acceptable for things like cleaning produce and to serve as sanitizer solution during service.
But again, this should be measured not just chuck a capful in a sink of water and hope for the best.
