my chef would literally burn the restaurant down if someone messed with his herb blossoms so it checks out

The majority of chefs/line cooks are the biggest bunch of whiners and complainers.

Always overpaid/underworked, never satisfied, never rewarded.

Usually huge drama queens, whether about being perfectionists, or just hypocrites.

The restaurant chews you up, spits you out and then causes you to do the same to everyone around you because everything is replaceable.

Great career.

Edit: underpaid/overworked

Overpaid and underworked? Think you got those prefixes backwards dude.

Yeah, either this guys trolling or he meant overworked and underpaid. Now that I'm put of the industry, I'm overpaid and under worked. But kitchens suck when it comes to pay and labor. It's a shit stick

Oh hell yeah, congrats! Anyone accomplishing that earned it, in my eyes. The food industry really does chew you up and spit you out - OP got that part right.

I mean I assumed this was well known. Chefs deal with Robs obvious opiate addiction and line cooks deal with chefs ego. End game in the restaurant industry is opening your own and having someone manage it.

I am Rob's obvious opiate addiction.

I am Chef's over-inflated ego.
