You know you're a chef when...

I love how these threads morph

You cut your finger tips enough to change your finger prints!

Cut, burn, freezer burn, sharpen off... Facial recognition would be sweet on my phone if I could afford it.

My fingerprint scanner works about 70% of the time. I'm not sure if I'm impressive for not shaving my fingers off often or if the phone is impressive for reading my constantly shifting fingers.

[ButlerHoosierChef]

I agree. Facial recognition would be cool. Just stare at your phone to unlock it. I've definitely cut my finger tips a few times that it has changed my finger prints a little.

When your first aid kit consists of super glue and duct tape.

You should see my workshop.

Sounds like you chefs can all go on a crime spree with your new fingerprints

This is hilarious. I swim several times a week for fitness usually for an hour to 90 minutes. Coming out of the shower my phone never ever gets my shrunken fingerprints right. Thought it was just a swimmer's thing.

... you got to do a phone interview, online application, 2 online assessments and a practicum to land a Sous job. Wtf has this industry come to? And that’s not even for a corporate place!

...your doctor diagnoses you with “Konosuke Obsession” or KO in abbreviation. And snagging a much desired Kono only brings you temporary relief.

I can't lay a finger on Lepus. I've only cut my finger print or finger nail off a few times.

I credit my (once) mediocre knife skills as a home cook -- most of my life I was too slow and used knives too dull to do much damage!

When 212 degrees is room temp, 350 degrees is warm, and 600 degrees is hot. And burns that dont blister instantly aren't worth a thought. And the only thought is to make sure it doesn't pop.

Not sure if this happens to anyone else but I have to remember to drain my burn blisters because my callouses are so thick and will get infected if I don't. The kind that can't bubble up because the skin is so thick.

I do film catering so I shop everyday for food and I get pissed when I'm in a new town and the restaurant depot or sams is all ass backwards or doesn't have shit. In that same vein I've been tempted to offer my cashier a job based on how efficient they are at checking me out.

When you are able to teach someone who has never cooked before how to run an omelette station while preping 20-40lbs of veg in a few days time.

And I like to mess with the new people by telling them to put the banana peeler out next to the orange juicer.

I used to ask for the left handed spatulas until they actually became a thing.

When I was a retail butcher I would tell new guys to go find me the chicken lips

[Lepus]

My favorite is handing them a gallon container to empty the hot water in the coffee machine.

Some of you guys are assholes...

Getting the stale air out of the walk-in...

One of the recent classics went over well, sent a piece of green meat next door to get a squeegee sharpener. Yeah....those guys next door loved it.
