Many of us enjoy the art of trying to prepare a beautiful, tasty meal at home. It's certainly one of those things that's easier said then done. Sometimes, right when you're in the thick of preparing what you think is the immaculate meal to end all meals, you only come to realize that you forgot that one essential ingredient that would've leveled up the whole dish. Well, we live and we learn, and we can learn a whole lot from these pro chefs about what their favorite ingredients are. 

Having even a rudimentary knowledge of how basic flavors work is a guaranteed way to improve your cooking and your quality of life. Seriously, knowing just a little bit about how to add salt to food can be night and day. Also it helps to be told that you shouldn't try to catch a falling knife. In addition, here are people's most treasured budget recipes that got them through hard times.

Seriously, this son sounds like he was a real piece of work. Dude takes over his family's restaurant, has the opportunity to carry on an honored legacy, and proceeds to spit right in its face. Reusing people's unfinished soups and serving them back to other folks because he "believed" that the heat in the soup burned the germs off, is next level delusional. Sounds like the guy getting reported and shut down was for the best. All in all, a delicious pro revenge, and even with the original recipe thrown in at the end. Love it.

We're pretty sure these people know what they're getting themselves into when they send pictures of food to Gordon Ramsay, a celebrity chef known for having high standards and being mean. Some even troll him by making food that's extra terrible, just to see what he'll say. That said we're in no place to judge, we don't even eat half as well as some of these attempts.

For the past few years, people have made a point of tweeting pictures of the food they made at Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay. Pretty typically, Gordon Ramsay responds with no-nonsense brutality. Some of these folks better be trolling, cause these meals are worth roasting. For more Gordon Ramsay food criticism, check these out.

This guy thinks he can just walk into an old friend's life and get him to put down his time and money for nothing in return? No sir, that will not fly. If you wanna frustrate yourself further with the demands of irrationally entitled buttheads insulting hard working people and trying to get shit for free, then look no further.

Maybe that was a livid chef you heard screaming at your order from the kitchen.
