Would YOU order lunch from me ?

Having worked in commercial kitchens and a fast food place. I can safely say I never went hungry

I'd be definitely sneaking a bite here and there when possible!!

No!!! I've worked with food all my life - and I can't resist picking at food

I worked at a bagel/deli place for over a year and never ate a bagel

Yeah i am not hungry when im physically active

Yep. Been there, haven't done that. And that was back when I still ate meat, even.

Human food? Likely not. Pet food? I'd finally start losing weight.

I used to work fast food and would always pick here and there.

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 🤷‍♂

These were a part of my valentine's day special meal I offered my clients.

NEVER eat 1

I think if it was a fish and chip shop I'd soon hate the smell and not want any. If it was a nice bakery I would definitely tuck in.

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.

When I was a teenager, I worked at a restaurant. I had a "dinner" break, where I could eat, other than that, I was working, not eating.

When I world for kfc there drinks were free and had chips when there were no customers or a few, but not a handful, when I had a deli ( family business) I had a few wedges chocolates, or a drink here and there

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

Initially, sure. But eventually I think I'd be turned from it.

Over time it becomes off-putting. Similar to preparing a large dinner, and having no appetite for what you've cooked.

I don't think I could

No….

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…

Whenever I worked at places with food, soon I'd be disgusted by all the foods there. Apart from one place I can recall when real love was present at the preparation, there I couldn't resist.

Rest of places, I was feeling more like, better avoid putting this thing into my body. But of course I tried foods and I liked them the first couple of weeks, before I'd say, enough.

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
