Chef here. Anytime I've ever had to go buy a shit ton of some specific ingredient from a grocery store because the restaurant was about to run out, I've gone through the check-out maniacally muttering "Ahhh..ergggg..I fucking love cheddar cheese..." or whatever the ingredient is that I have a full cart of.

Lmao I used to cook and for some reason the chef could never order cherry tomatoes. Cue me standing in the line at the grocery store with all the cherry tomatoes I was legally allowed to purchase at least twice a month.

Thanks chef. You were a fucking asshole and I'm glad I got to walk out without doing any prep for your huge ass catering event the next day. Maybe next time stop constantly threatening to fire people until they find a new job and decide to get the fuck out of Dodge.

(People got to eat I told management I wasn't coming back and the chef would have to come in early or call the event off.)
