    Regarding the white outfits, it's also a matter of cleaning. You can see the stains better, but you can also use very aggressive products to remove them. The coloring of clothes is actually fragile when it comes to cleaning grease stains, so in order to clean it regularly and keep it looking as good as new everyday, you need it to be white. This is also the reason why most hotels have white bedsheets.

      There aren't any free lunches. Well, maybe in some states. In my public high school, you had to pay a minimal fee (around a buck fifty or so) for the lunch. And yeah, it sucked, although we did have a couple of choices, one of which did involve chicken nuggets that were kinda decent. The pizza was horrendous and then there was a random meal for the day you could choose.

      Omelette and cheeseburger are at the top of that list. If you can't manage one or both of those without much pretense or complication, then you need to stop cooking... at least as a "professional".
      I consider myself a reasonable culinary artist, but certainly not a chef. I've held my own handily in a variety of professional kitchens, but I've never taken a class...

    the gentleman here knows everything about hospitality. I've worked in fine dinning restaurants for almost 8 years. Been to the best restaurants in Greece, top 5 or something. Only in the best of the best we have people like him managing the team. All the bad restaraunts do the thing he says about people looking down on customers etc etc. We know that the customer is "always right", you never correct anybody, you just serve them and prounounce something the right way without being cocky !! Chef, I'm glad people like you still exist to this day !!

    6:26 I couldn't agree more, alot of times I go back to a restaurant not just for the food, but for the hospitality also, and if the staff is not like that, I won't go back even if they serve the best food

    The job interview question? Here's a short story: my friend, a chef, who didn't speak much English, got a job interview at a high end seafood restaurant, and he spent time rehearsing some answers (his training, experience, favourite recipes...) and was so nervous because of his English.
    When he showed up for the interview, he literally managed to say "Hi, I'm X" before he was handed a chef jacket/apron and a hat, and directed to the kitchen.
    That was his interview, doing a 12 hour shift.
    I guess language isn't an issue when you know how to cook 😂

    I like when asked about cardinal sins in fine dining restaurants he doesn’t go after diners, he goes after the horrible customer service workers. It’s great that such an amazing chef realizes that at the end of the day everyone in the restaurant is a customer service worker.
    Reminds me of the amazing personality Chef Morimoto had when I was lucky enough to attend a dinner he out on in Vegas 10 or so years ago.
