1. This is Jim Stein. He is a line cook in Charleston, SC and he has worked in kitchens nearly his whole life.
2. He shared these photos to show what it’s really like to work in a restaurant kitchen.
Nothing like this.
These aren’t them.
We work incredibly long hours. Sometimes even more than this measly 16 in one day.
We go through shoes faster than you can imagine.
because we’re typically cooking a lunch/dinner/brunch service at the same time, or constantly in the weeds with prep.
A lot of cuts.
Even more burns than cuts.
We get really cool high-tech toys like immersion circulators and CryoVac machines.
Our poor iPod Dock has seen it’s better days. But check out that kitchen ingenuity.
A lot from the sea.
OK mostly from the sea.
Need salt? That’s our fault. We compare dishes and ingredients endlessly until we get the combinations we deem best. And if we’re over or under seasoning the food, we’re failing…which like I said, is not an option.
We hope you like it all the same. At the end of the day, we do everything for You.
43. Sometimes you learn to cook pastries, and write on plates in chocolate.
I’d just like to thank everybody who took the time to read through this and take a look at all the images. I think it’s important to spread the word a little bit about what people like us do on a daily basis that goes largely unseen unless you work in the industry yourself. Now go out and eat something good today!
