You know you're a chef when...

[Chefcallari]

I've thought about this thread many times would liked to have seen it on this forum. I had some good ones on there I don't remember.

When no one wants to go out to eat with you cuz youre "too picky"

When you walk in and notice every light bulb out, scratch on a table, seat that needs restitching, 3 micron uneveness on said seat, finger print on the stem ware, look of fear and desperation in your servers eyes...

[Chefcallari]

You refuse to even walk into a chili's 30 min before close.

"Wait, hold up. Did you not chop this flour? Seriously? Where the hell did you learn to cook dude?"

"No, you just chop it til its fluffy. Use a house knife so you don't jack up yours."

Never gets old.

You walk past a waterless pot of what could've been mashed potatoes an hour ago, turn the burner off, bring it to the worst cook at the restaurant and say "your potato reduction has burnt"

We make fresh pasta... So I always pull out the "00" flour ...
"See this is what its supposed to look like!"

When your the sound of a chit printing makes your heart beat faster regardless of where you are.

When you six year old can set up the foh faster than your am host.

When you know exactly where and how much food is in your home fridge.

"It's not that spicy."

Hehehe

No. Ticket machine dreams!!!!! That's how you know you're stuck

[STPepper9]

That too,,... But my dreams are usually more about making a dish for a ppx (or the owner) and for some reason or other, never being able to send it out.

Garlic
Onion
Leeks
Chives
Scallions
Ramps

That's probably an allium allergy,

Seriously though, as annoying as they can be I feel bad for some of these ppl.
For instance...

[Chefspence]

Oh these crack me up.

How about when you seriously consider wearing adult diapers on the line because you don't wanna leave it.

[cooknola]

... and you realize there are so many allergies in general.... nightshades. Had that one a lot lately.

We had a customer furious that none of our desserts could accommodate their gluten, dairy, and egg restrictions. I suggested a fruit cup. Does anyone know what desserts are possible without gluten, dairy or eggs?
