15 year kitchen vet here and watching this kind of stuff is strangely therapeutic. You guys banging out those tickets like no one's business. Awesome work. Thanks for the upload!
Hats off to you i worked my way from a dishwasher(it was fun dishwashing and calm but the money and hours werent worth it)made my way from dishwasher, food prep then to cook and its very rough . Im still learning but its very crazy the line and i get confused at times but im still learning .
all the respect in the world to the line cooks of the planet. i did 25 yrs in all kinds of places from the bottom to the top and this just got my adrenaline going lol i am too done with that life. i quit smoking, drink only beer and puff weed these days. got a cushy gig running a cafe in a little hotel. this shit is like watching an action movie to me. those guys are what every restaurant wants on the line: only necessary talk, hustle, coordination and quality food. big up to them!
@@ishrendon6435 right on, man. once you get it, you be a valued person and will always be able to find work. since i started cooking, i have never been without a job whenever i wanted one, or needed one.
Facts! Four year vet here. They certainly are getting those tickets out, in a smooth and efficient manner. However, these guys make it look easy. Which is making me wonder if I was working harder, then smarter. lol Get 'em men!
@@nicholasmurch5602doesn’t make being a line cook any less chaotic, unfortunately. At least give us an actual break lol. I picked up smoking cigarettes just so I could look forward to a few 5 minute breaks on a busy day.
Shout out to all the COOKS that make magic happen every single night. This is not easy work at all, takes a lot of endurance & discipline. Always tip these guys well, they deserve every penny!
Not every high functioning kitchen needs to be a bunch of european guys screaming at each other. When you have a good team that knows what they're doing, things can get handled quickly and quietly. Shout out to these guys
I’m about 2-3 years into kitchen experience and these guys are top notch. It is no easy task maintaining speed and presentation while having a bunch of waiters asking for things and having to do 3x the work for mediocre pay. Cooking experience is the best type of experience young people like myself can have.
This looks almost identical to a resort kitchen I worked at in college. Those were some of the coolest hard working dudes I've ever met. Shout out to all the cooks putting in that work every day!
I think I have just changed my mind about being a cook in a cook line. Here I thought I was pretty good cooking for three or four within the family. but watching this, I think I'll tell them to go into town and order breakfast. Much respect to these guys for how they work especially how they work with each other!
It’s all about practice young blood. Mastering your menu and finding your strong spots. You see in the video how all 3 dudes stay in the same spot. That’s their strong spot Eggs, Expo and Grill
No sir. It's about efficiency across the board. You have to have the whole kitchen and its elements from where the wire wisk and the half-and-half is located mapped out in your minds eye. Where you can basically navigate where everything's at blindfolded. Food prep is 80-90% of the work. The rest is just execution.
@@kyle896 no one in this video or in comments said your type of job was not challenging!! The video and comments were about line cooks! I guess the positive is you have a job and they have a job, right?
I've worked in a kitchen for over 15 years. You wanna know who works their fucking ass off? Everyone. Plenty of high school kids busting their ass every single day. And to anyone who says it isnt hard, you don't know what you're saying. Dumbass comments.
This guy looking like a plain, chill dude, until it's time to cook and he reveals his true form as some kind of kitchen demigod that cooks a million damn dishes in a row like it's no big deal. Respect. Sincerely.
respect!! i see those kitchen towels in action! lol i remember those days, now i have a cushy gig running a little breakfast cafe at a "boutique" hotel. my teenage help wonder why i never use pot holders. i say, "do i look like your grandma? i used to be a real cook!" lol
It's controlled chaos. I worked as a short order cook and when the restaurant fills up real quick it's sink or swim. These guys are amazing because they don't blink they just read the slips and rock out. Good job guys and yes they are horribly under payed! God bless!!!!
Absolutely fascinating! I have always been fascinated with short order cooks...something about the speed, the dexterity, the ability to multitask, combined with the fact that they're making good food....just amazing. I could watch this guy all day...
In my 40 years in the kitchen I've learned that breakfast Cooks are special breed of individual. I did it for one year when I was at apprentice and I swore I'd never do it again and I was awesome no shit I amazed myself.
Been cooking for 22 years, and wanna know something I love every fuckin minute of it. Every time I see a customer leave fat and happy, it always brings a smile to my face…
Respect to all cooks especially breakfast cooks. Alot of people dont understand how challenging it is to work in the kitchen let alone breakfast kitchens. It has to be fast and steaming hot.
@@davidisawesome8149 Same. The hardest part is flipping an omelette, but once you have that down it stays with you. Managing 6 burners at a cafeteria style higher-end university was so fun - breakfast and saute station.
I don't know what they are paying that guy in the glasses, but he's worth his weight in gold! I've never seen anyone hustle like he is..... hat's off to all these guys!
my dad was a line cook before becoming a GM then district manager for Dennys. He taught me about knowing the kitchen, the menu, and above KEEPING THE SAME PACE...Not too fast not too slow. The compa in the glasses reminds me of that steady pace.
Over 17 years experience here, and even though i am trying to gwt our of the industry, these videos are amazing. Will always miss it in one way or another.
I respect this, this is hard work and people who enjoy this kind of work are just built different. I became a chef and I can't do this, for me this is the most soulless work you could ever do in the culinary world but my appreciation for people who do this kind of work goes over and beyond.
I agree. People want to go out and show off their vehicle to dinner so they can be seen spending money in public and then be tightwads about the entire ordeal!. F that! F those kind!! I don't care. I speak truth. 🙊
Super under payed but still grinding out through the heat and pressure, yet still gives a good meal. I love how u show how the kitchen really is, I dream of being a chef one day, and this shows me how hard it is, still I wont give up for it! God Bless you guys
For the amount of work people put in their jobs I'd say the majority of people are underpaid especially the people picking the fruits and vegetables you enjoy on a daily basis
@@mr.e6033 You've never worked in a kitchen before if you think this is nasty...... Unless you work in a 5 star french restaurant, this is how 99% of kitchens look like.
I have worked as a line cook at Hometown Buffet… and a line cook at a cafe as well, this brings back a lot of old memories… the job sounds easy until you have to do it…
And it's quiet in there no shouting or screaming or verbal abuse because you're waiting on someone to finish a dish. This is how a kitchen should be. Amazing, i want a job here 😆
I went back and forth between cooking and mfg jobs when I was young, from working in a dish pit, to being a spot welder, to being a prep cook, to being a riveter, then finally being a line cook at a breakfast centric truck stop. Every step I got a little faster, every job the pay got a little better, eventually was offered an apprenticeship in a commercial printing job and that became a career.
This is my speed I can get down with this. Not You not only have to keep track of time and temp and quality. But most importantly on a line working that close. You need to know your partners position and movements to prevent collision and injuries. These dudes definitely deserve a vacation. Go Team!!
Whatever these guys are being paid......ain't enough! The expert level of cooking plus the flawless and almost silent teamwork IS WHY this restaurant is so busy! I agree with other comment they should be part of the tipping pool!
No talking, no glamour, no bullshit, just hard work. Respect !

Worked the line at both busy breakfast restaurants and high end steak houses. Nothing like the adrenalin rush of a busy line.
