The Food Industry

WORK WORK WORK

Talk about sucking ass

Here are my top ----- reasons WHY NOT TO WORK IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY

1. You will learn very quickly all that really goes on behind the scenes and trust me when I say you will never want to eat out again.

2. When it comes down to the smell you can never get that food smell off your hands ... thats the reason why I have 2 pairs of gloves on at all times then shower with a LEMON.

3. It gets soooooo hot in the kitchen... SONG SING WITH ME: its getting hot in here so take off all your ... lol you know the rest :)!!

4. Shoes are an essential when it comes to walking on a greasy floor. If you dont have the right non slip shoes on you will 1. fall on your ass and yes that is a guarantee 2. Totally get a work out on your calves 3. get exhausted before the middle of your shift.... spend the money even if you are not gonna be at that job for to long it will pay off in the end!!!!

5. Note to all ... shave your arms or the hair will burn off !!! If you shave your arms then you are fine but if not when using the grill HIGH HEAT is the only way to cook food fast so during that time your arm hairs just fry right off .... O yeah and roll your selves UP when grilling fire is your best friend but also worse enemy

6. HOT HOT HOT WARNING ... dont just grab a pan you see on the table it just might have come out of a 500 degree oven. Third Degree Burns SUCK ASS and HURT like hell.

7. Industrial ovens have 2 degrees ... HOT and MOTHER FUCKEN HOT. Those doors are HOT and close real fast.

8. Chafing Dishes.... those buffet looking things that keep food hot during parties for buffet style food ... yeah key word is HOT .. HOT STEAM. The covers and the pans inside are always HOT!!

9. You dont know how hard it is to cook for 100 people till you try it. Trust me when I say its not the same as cooking for 5. After working 5 weeks in a kitchen I have learned to cook for 100 and overcook for 5.

10. Heating up soup .... Soup will burn when its left on a stove even in low heat... burnt soup is no good even if you try adding more flavoing to kill the burning taste it does not work!

11. When they say instant grits they mean boil the water, pour the grits, stir about three turns, and then take that bitch right off the stove .. instant is right ... if not that pot is a pain in the ass to clean ... P.S> again back to burnnt food ... burnt grits smell so bad.

12. Rice ... new way of making rice. After burning rice 3 times in a row ... the new way is the oven. Add what you need inside the rice for flavor ... then keep in mind 1 gallon of water to 1 gallon of rice ....... cover it with 2 sheets of foil and put it in the oven for 1 hr. NO LIE It will come out sooooo perfect.

13. Never send your food back or complain ... people will remember you!!

14. Never push a cart (speed rack) always pull it ... dont as why just listen!!!

15. soap .... dish soap is not used for mopping the floors.

16. iIf you see your food ever drying out just add a little water because water never hurts anything.

17. Ever wonder about salad bars ... do you really think they dump stuff at the end of the day ??? Yeah hahaha keep enjoying your salad bar and telling yourself that one.... IT NEVER HAPPENS ... shit is always reused. Gross is right ... P.S> to the world ... I will never eat at a salad bar again!!!

18. Flat Grills ... smooth surface grills ... O god if you burn shit on a flat grill thats it say good bye to the rest of your life because that is how long it will take you to clean it. Grease cutter does not work either it helps a little but all the scrapping is done by hand : /!! A mistake made only once you can say a lesson well learned !!

19. If a spoon is left in a pot .....STEAM is HOTTER than anything so yeah that spoon or whatever that you are using is gonna be HOTTTT!!!!

20. I have come to the conclusion that I think everything should be able to say I worked in the food industry ... then costumers (the world ) would be nicer, cleaner, and also understand a little about how much shit it really takes to cook, serve, and clean.
