You know you're a chef when...

[ChefKnivesToGo]

You're best friend at work is a milk crate . . . in the walk in.

That's where I would spend all my time if I worked in a commercial kitchen again. Hoping nobody would find me...

You go on a week long drunk, fully expecting to be fired, but come back to find that your cushy prep shift has been given to Adam’s punk ass (hope the customers enjoy that c level work) but you can start closing the grill on weekends if you need the work. And you do.

Knock on the bathroom door before leaving it, at home.

Got pulled over driving home tonight. I responded to the cops first question with "no chef"

[Acidwash]

That’s hilarious. I assume you were promptly arrested?

Trying to explain to a cop that you have a chefs knife in the back... all they hear is 240mm knife

Back during my construction days we’d send greenhorns out to find plate stretchers . Welp thought it’d be funny to try that one in the kitchen awhile back. But they needed to get the porcelain one not the China. My bosses didn’t find it near as funny as I did. They actually found it funnier. First time for everything.

I need you to go across the street to "Richard's" and get me a "dough repair kit"....

20 min later they show up with a hotel pan, flour, a french wisk and some bike chain lube...

"What the fuck!... WHOLE WHEAT DOUGH! you dumb ass! I need the WHOLE WHEAT DOUGH REPAIR KIT! ...this one is for ORGANIC dough!"


..... Never gets old

Had this particularly grouchy alcoholic soux chef..

So this one time I took all three electronic timers and set all four timers on each one.

And then hid them all around the kitchen. And then clocked out and went home.

This is the timer anyone who's used one knows what timer 4 sounds like.

ugh.. I hate those timers, they are way louder than they need to be. I can't think of any chef i've worked for that would see the humor in the joke if it was done to them.
thanks for the idea.

When you call “corner” and “behind” in public

When you knock on doors before you open them

Refer to your fridge as a “reach-in”

Refer to a food processor as a “robo-coup”

[atang]

When you leave the vent hoods over the range on, at home too, because the white noise is “normal”

The first two gifts I saw exchanged at secret Santa yesterday were a gift card to Starbucks, and a bottle of whiskey.

If home chefs are allowed then...

When your family starts to joke about nick naming you "Knife" because you started asking to do all the cutting for meal prep, and spend all your spare time in between meals sharpening your knives to do more meal prep.
