A Cook At An Upscale Restaurant Just Uploaded These Photos. At First, I Was Horrified…Then Hungry.

A chef that works at Casbah Mediterranean kitchen and wine bar located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, wanted to give people a candid look into what really goes on in a restaurant’s kitchen. These chefs work much harder, and for longer hours, to make the delicious food we eat than I ever imagined. So the next time you sit down to eat a big, juicy, steak, know that it was someone’s passion that made it.

This guy has been working in kitchens his entire life.

But he wanted to show people just how many hours people put into making delicious food for customers. (And 16 hours could be considered a short day.)

Most of those hours clocked are spent on his feet.

They also plan their food prep.

They even seem to plan for planning.

Every piece of their inventory is always tracked as well.

But if you think this seems like a lot of work without reward, these chefs also get to play with new fangled kitchen toys like immersion circulators and CryoVac machines.

And they always find a way to enjoy their job, even if it’s simple.

Not only that, but they get to taste every dish they create. Their goal is to make sure the experience is perfect, not over-seasoned or under. And if it is, they know it’s their fault.
