Did I kill him? I rarely think about this and don't feel any guilt but am still curious if it was that shitty salmon I pushed that made him choke.
What are some other linecooks/chefs horror stories? I'm talking about Mother's Day tier shit hitting the fan stories.
>>7856410
ahahahahhahaha
you just quit
your cooking literally killed someone
im fucking dying
> work as Garde manger
>Client order Salad without onion/leek/etc he is allergic

>>7856410
>curious if it was that shitty salmon I pushed that made him choke
Does it matter if it was the shitty one? All the salmon came off your station. You definitely killed him.
Either that or you're a big fat liar. Did the restaurant close temporarily after the death? Did the health dept come to look into it?
>>7856443
We stopped serving food for about 20 minutes while the ambulance examined him. Was a Sunday late afternoon dinner rush so we had a bunch of food cooking up/getting old in the window. The proprietor/kitchen manager wasn't in and I don't think the FOH manager knew what the appropriate thing to do would be.
As soon as they moved the body out of the restaurant it was business as usual. The health department didn't come in and we didn't even get an inspection to my knowledge until several months afterwards which was probably the regular scheduled visit.
>>7856450
Also cooked a bunch of free bloomin onions to arrive with meals to compensate for the wait. It was a shit show.
We had tickets hanging but weren't sure if we should spark the dishes or not while the medics were there.
>>7856433
Damn did you get in hot water for that anon?
>>7856457
even with the dishwasher... plastic cutting Boards are crap

>>7856433
that's remembered me an other story
> client said she had severe celiac, that I have to be careful...
> I said: no worries I cook asian style, no wheat products then..
> made some soy-ginger marinade for the fish
> was about to serve it , client ask: did you use gluten free soy sauce??
> look ingredient list on the bottle
> mfw : soy sauce made out of 70% wheat...
actually you have to check everything.. wheat is everywhere...
>>7856474
Haha gluten free is the worst!!! The people that do it as a fad as opposed to having celiac used to drive me up the wall!
>Get a ticket the whole table is 'gluten free'
>Suurreeee they are..
Okay here is another story of negligence on my part.
>Another Sunday at the slavehouse.
>Not even hungover, rather, still drunk from the night before. Nice 13 hour open to close shift ahead of me
>Working coldside/fry by myself.
>Cut myself with paring knife making a sundae
>Didn't realize I was cut. Alcohol makes you bleed for days when cut too
>Send out a salad with big ol'glob of blood in it
>Salad comes back and I remake it
>Apologize to the server for blood
>The proprietor comes storming back
>"What the fuck Anon!!! You trying to get me shut down!??!?!"
>He told the customer and the server that it was tomato juice in the salad bowl--not blood
>Only 2 hours into shift
I get mad because I am still bleeding and blood won't stop. Need water-resistant bandaid and finger condom which are locked in dry storage.
That was a fun day :) :) :)
>>7856485
>be at restaurant with some people from college
>one guy asks for a burger with a gluten free bun
>asks him if he's a celiac
>"no i just wanted to try it out"
>bun crumbles and completely falls apart in his hands
dumbass
>>7856519
My favorite gluten free story is some dummy ordering a blue cheese salad but 'gluten free'
Server reports back to table informing her that our blue cheese is not gluten free. Gets the blue cheese dressing AND croutons. Never met her but I hate her.
Yes, but don't feel to bad about it. You had no way of knowing that was going to happen.
Any other stories out there /ck?
I am foaming at the mouth waiting to hear the worst restaurant stories /ck has :D~~~

My life is the direct opposite of this, can you type out some more erotic literature for me. I mean everyday I go to work I actually have to fight the urge to kill myself. Everyone where I work (especially the wait staff) thinks I'm autistic (I know I'm not I was just raped as a kid). Please tell me more about your oily appendage.
>>7860789
Okay, this one, my child, is called The Pudding that Came Too Early.
I'm not one to let life get the best of me, but it wasn't always this way...
I was diagnosed with a spectrum disorder when I was 13. Lucky number, huh? Everyone picks on me. I mean everyone. Even my fucking dad, watching sports and throwing think-fast footballs that bounce off my retarded head. When was I going to escape this hell? Could I? Escape was unimaginable. This fucking hellhole they call middle America. What was my purpose? I certainly couldn't think of any use for me. I was a cold penis fucking a dry vagina.
I live every day in fear. My fears manifest themselves daily in the kitchen. I could kill myself. I should kill myself. Why not? I could easily just... A cut here... See that red spill off my wrist... I can't sleep. I see this food all the time and I can't stomach it. It's uncomfortable in here. And I feel like any second one of these Chads is gonna slug me. Whenever I try to become part of the crowd, they push me away. I hate myself.
In the depths of my sorrow, I came to a realization. Who was I? Nothing. And what can you take from nothing? Nothing! Therefore, I have nothing to lose. Somehow knowing I COULD end it all, that I had some degree of control after all, empowered me. What did I have to lose at this point? Nothing! I now thrust my ebullient member into the slavering vagina.
I did what I could only describe as letting go. I stopped...thinking. I reacted to everything immediately. My first thought--bam! I saw the enemy break before me, sneering comments and shitty judgements overturned. I was like Sauron at the beginning of the first LotR movie, swinging my club and knocking away opponents like bowling pins.
I went home, spent. I didn't care anymore. I didn't care. I had no fear for tomorrow because I knew all these thoughts were just that--thoughts. I didn't try to catch the football this time. I let it break a window. Nice one, pops. It was so funny I took my tapioca pudding out of the microwave too early. When I ate it, it was cold. Damn.
Well, that's what I get for being autistic.
>>7860775
>chef
>cooking eggs and bacon
Not buying it.
>>7860834
>>7860837
If this isn't pasta...
Speaking as someone with autism, I have a job I enjoy, a cute girlfriend who is amazing, and I'm taking college classes successfully all while pursuing my hobby of acting on the side in the community.
It doesn't matter if you're autistic or not
You just gotta push and eventually you'll get to a better place
It's all about your mindset
I don't mean if you have or don't have autism or any other thing
I mean your attitude
But I'm probably wasting my time on a post that's just copy and pasted
If not

It really depends on the level of autism you have. There are autists like you who function in the world well enough, then you have fedoras with no self-awareness like Chris-chan, finally you have the full blown ETSUBATSU kids who will probably never be able to do anything productive in civilized society.
Worked at a Welsh Pub as the dish-bitch for 2 years. Both the chef and owner were full blown alcoholics, I don't think I ever saw them sober in my whole life. I have a few really funny stories of them both.
>Owner stumbles into the back of house blackout drunk.
>Mumbles something along the lines, "Anon, you're a fookin great dishwasher, fookin great lad."
>Walks towards the line, looks at the wings ready to be taken by servers, stumbling around the cooks who are running around during dinner rush.
>Grabs at a wing on one of the plates, scarfs it down making weird gutteral noises
>All the kitchen staff is just looking at him like wtf man
>The chef says, "Fuck Ciaran you cant just eat the wings off the fucking plates god-damn man now I gotta make another pound of wings."
>Ciaran just replies with a laugh and says hes going to go play some darts in the dining room with his friends because they just installed a new dartboard that takes up the space of about 4 tables.
>Another time, owner and chef are wasted, it was St. Paddys day
>Owner comes back wearing his liverpool jersey that he never removed, offers me a pint of beer for being a fookin amazing dishwasher
>I was 15 at the time, but I took it because why not
>Watch him and chef talk for about 2 minutes, and in that time they both finished full pints
>The lobby is a time, everyone is playing with the new dartboard because all the regulars were all alcoholics from the UK
>Owner says hes going to go grab the chef and everyone in the kitchen staff pints
>Comes back, and everyone starts drinking and having a good time
>I watch in awe as the chef and owner chug their pints in literally 3 seconds
I swear they drank at least 10 pints over just dinner service.
>>7863199
as someone studying to be a Dr. i have a tough time reconciling my semi-optimism with this. I'd like to pretend that people can always be cured but it's not true. There's always the super-autists (or substitute whatever disorded) that can't and won't be able to function properly in society ever. Which isn't a popular opinion at all but w/e.
>>7863215
One last story
>Halloween night, dinner service is winding down to an end and chef is absolutely fucked
>Managed to spill lobster bisque all over his coat and pants because he was so drunk
>Chef decides since its Halloween, hes going to carve a jack o lantern
>Says hes going to the store and will be right back with a pumpkin
>Kitchen staff is confused, but what can they say hes the fucking chef
>Chef returns later with a big pumpkin, a fake plastic machete, and a pint in his hand still wearing his lobster-bisque stained outfit
>Only god knows what happened in that grocery store with drunk chef stumbling around looking for pumpkins with a quart of lobster bisque all over his uniform
>Chef starts to carve out the pumpkin and makes a shitty jack o lantern, almost cutting his hand off twice
>Proceeds to laugh sounding like Seth Rogen with stage 3 lung cancer, and jams the fucking jack o lantern on his head
>Picks up the plastic machete, tries to take a swig of his beer through the jack o lanterns mouth but misses and spills it all over the pumpkin and says "look I'm Halloween!"
>Goes to the dining room wearing a jack o lantern and a lobster bisque stained chef uniform yelling "I'm Halloween! I'm Halloween!"
>All the drunk people from the UK, including the owner, cheer and take a drink with the chef
This was the best job I ever had, sometimes I miss it because of all the funny shit the owner and chef did.

>list all the ingredients in the homemade dressings
>she insists we read her what's in the store bought ones, too
>she repeats this with EVERY FUCKING SALAD and we have like seven different salads
>does the same goddamn thing with all three of our soups
90% of what we sell is soup or salad, so we have two huge whiteboards right next to the register that lists EVERY FUCKING THING SHE ASKED. What we have, what's in what we have, everything.
Bitch ends up ordering a Cobb salad and a bowl of tomato basil soup. Takes two bites, sends the salad back. Doesn't want chopped bacon on it. Gets the second salad, complains that there's too much blue cheese on it but declines having us make her a new one. Makes a face while she picks the sliced egg off. Takes a spoon of her tomato basil soup, sends it back because there was "too much basil" and asks for her money back for it. Finishes her salad, and as she's leaving she tells us the baguette that came with her meal was too chewy in the most disgusted tone she could muster.
I have never in my life come as close to punching an old woman in the face as I did on that day.

>when he finally peels the goo and most of his hair and skin off, he cant go home or even talk to management.
>workplace injuries require a drug test
The fucker ended up with 3rd degree burns on most of his forearm. I knew basic first aid and wound care from having a weird childhood, so I patched him up and directed him on how to care for it. He ended up with a blister the size of a grapefruit on his arm. Managed to never pop it.
I got a ton more if people want them.
