Absolutely - when I cook a meal for a large group, many times I can't eat it...I completely lose interest and want a bowl of cereal or some pretzels 🤷♂
Chefs never officially eat lunch. Instead, they just 'taste-test' an entire three-course meal's worth of food throughout the day to make sure the salt level is right.
The ultimate kitchen loophole: it’s not eating on the job if you call it quality assurance.
Oh I would definitely be able not to. But it would be my nature to do it. Unless it's meant for a greater good like feeding the hungry or something. Otherwise I'm sure I'd sample everything there is more than once
One of my early part time jobs was at a place called Farrell’s—an old-fashioned ice cream parlor, including dressing up in 1890’s garb. I didn’t eat during shift, but for exactly two months I was practically spending my salary buying food to take home. But eventually the novelty wore off and I could work without planning to buy ice cream or their hamburgers (which were good !) One of the many spots that closed here…
I worked many kitchens in my teens and during college. It kills your appetite. The food is good, it's just seeing it kind of stops you from feeling hungry. Best shape of my life
