      I saw the Styrofoam boxes and wanted to make a snarky comment about this just being a line cook, not a head chef when he’s the only guy cooking, but nope.

      That dude was super impressive.

    2. Translation to English: “Everybody want some Chinese food. Everybody gonna get some McDonald’s”

      This is onlywok on tiktok. He is a beast. Check him out. He streams himself cooking everyday and chats it up with his audience. He might have a couple beers too. Funny af!

    4. This was more enjoyable than any cooking show I’ve seen in like a decade. That was awesome. Made me wish my home kitchen could somehow be set up for functionality like this somehow. Goes to show that prep work is still king.

      I used to be a line cook at a restaurant that sat 150 with 3-4 hour wait lists some nights. Once you know the menu and have a few dinner rushes under your belt you can hit this very satisfying flow state on basically a nightly basis. Your environment was chaos but your mind was zen. Never been able to replicate that feeling in any other profession and low key miss it sometimes.

      I can see why chef’s have such developed forearms, imagining doing this all day

      “I have a food allergy.”

      “You should probably leave.”- this restaurant

    8. The scrubby-flip with the ladle, right into the scrub and removal of the scrubby in one smooth motion is so satisfying to watch.

      Wow it’s really like those time management/restaurant sims I play but scarier

      Like it doesn’t seem THAT bad, until I remember how long they have to keep this up.

      The real art isn’t cooking, it’s staying calm when everything is on fire (sometimes literally).

      The amount of skill this requires is insane. I’m a decent home cook and can probably execute one of these dishes pretty well. To juggle three or more of them at the same time is so much harder it’s unbelievable.

      The manic pace is actually mesmerizing. Just constant motion in all directions, always got something going on.

      I will not quit my job and go back to kitchens. I will not quit my job and go back to kitchens. I will not quit my job and go back to kitchens.

      I kinda miss working in a kitchen.

    15. Ex-chef here. These are what my bad dreams look like. When I barely get any sleep and wake up just as tired as I was when I went to sleep.
