'A chef... called the grill "Hamburger Helpless"': 25+ Chefs and waiters who kept their back-of-house coworkers laughing

There's always at least one person in every workplace who can't help but make everyone laugh. This is the kind of person that people say “lights up every room they walk into.” They just immediately begin cracking jokes and lightening the mood. This kind of person is especially appreciated in high-stress environments---like the back of house at a busy restaurant. Back-of-house, sometimes abbreviated as BOH, refers to all of the workers behind the scenes, like chefs, meal preppers, and dish washe…

It needs to defrost, be stuffed and basted, then put in the oven for a certain amount of hours, depending on the weight. I can't speak f…

Update: 'I told you that in confidence': Woman critiques daughter in law's cooking, receives plain meal in return

If this mother in law won't eat this delicious chicken dish, we volunteer instead. Picky eaters transcend culture and time; every family has at least one person who can't stand spicy foods or dislikes a common ingredient like beans. Cooking for another person is a kind and thoughtful thing to do, and it's especially meaningful when it's your family. Speaking as a picky eater, it was a wonderful feeling when someone left my portion of a meal plain for me. Everyone else could eat their regular ch…

30 Majorly messy meals that really needed plates

Restaurants love to be hip and trendy, but at what cost? There are two types of people: those who photograph their every meal, and those who just eat the food. Food bloggers and amateur photographers alike love to snap pictures of what they're dining on, and post photos to their socials for the whole world to admire. However, it's not exactly original to post just a plain old hamburger. No, your followers want to see you eat the weirdest stuff, it must be eye catching. That's the only reason I…

'Don't tell me that is mashed potatoes': 20 Amateur chefs who cooked with creativity

Recipes are great for some, but some chefs prefer to freestyle their meals. I'm fully on team recipe, mainly because when I try to cook without one, my dish turns out just awful . I trust the random cooks of the internet when I make my meals — mostly because I actually had a physical cookbook, and everything I made with it turned out wrong. This cookbook had me making soggy and inedible french toast, and another time, it steered me into making the most watery pancakes I've ever witnessed. They…

AITA for telling a girl to stop wasting food?

'All of your friends told you not to say something': College student asks 'AITA?' for questioning woman's cafeteria habit

One college student took to Reddit to ask if she was in the wrong for a cafeteria eating disagreement, and she probably didn't expect that people would end up calling her a bully!

And of course, at many colleges, this is the main or only dining option — you can't just avoid the cafe. One OP posted to r/AmITheA******…
