From a sous chef during a busy service to the hot line:
"You guys F*^king suck! There's four of you back there and you don't equal one person!"
A discussion between two chefs in school:
Chef 1: "you should stop by our class, we're making a traditional irish meal"
Chef : "Traditional Irish meal? What's that a potato and a six pack?" |

Anthony Bourdain, from Kitchen Confidential:
"Nothing makes an aspiring Escoffier feel more like an army commissary cook, or Mel from Mel’s Diner, than having to slop out eggs over bacon and eggs Benedict for the Sunday brunch crowd. Brunch is punishment block for the ‘B’-Team cooks, or where the farm team of recent dishwashers learn their chops. Most chefs are off on Sundays, too, so supervision is at a minimum. Consider that before ordering the seafood frittata.”
No idea how true it is, but it sure sounds true....

My favorite quote is from my first chef, who, when cooks would get frustrated and angry (as you sometimes do), would say....

From the BBC sit com CHEF!...Lenny Henry as Michelin 3 star Chef Garreth Blackstock speaking to the Saucier after he just puts a finished plate in the window...
"Ummm...would you be so kind as to rearrange the contents of this plate so that someone in the latter stages of malnutrition would take a passing interest in it?"
or....
" Those amature biologists among you would find many things of great interest on the floor here. I could certainly be walking on the cure for cancer, smallpox and the common cold...however you'll never find out because I'll kill you all if someone doesn't CLEAN THIS FRIGGING FLOOR!"
Classic Chef! material.

Chef to a line cook who was in the weeds but always smiling, making jokes and never in a bad mood...particularly busy night and he was sinking quick...
"You know Tony, you can't cook for $hit, but your a **** of a lot of fun to have around...Someone help Tony out over here!"
I helped Tony...
