High five ✋
Everyone in the back kitchen is using their hands. Sorry to let a lot of you know that but it's just how it goes. Most Chefs aren't Michelin chefs. Most chefs are just normal $12-$17 an hour guys. Professional as hell usually but the last thing they care about is gloves. I think most people who have ever worked in an American restaurant know this. The back staff are the hardest workers and the amount of gloves they would go through if they really used them would be wild. >

Professional as hell? Most of the guys I know that worked at lower end restaurants smoked weed while they worked. They are usually people with a criminal record. (Speaking of lower end Outback/Red Lobster style restaurants) >

I think the problem is the people you know, not most chefs. >

I.. think you’d be surprised.. >

I worked in the food industry for about a decade, and I literally saw no one smoking weed while cooking, albeit it wasn't in the US, but I find it hard to believe that the person would be sticking around for long. >

We have had different experiences. The world is vastly different depending on where you exist. I think we have both learned something today. High five ✋
