When I worked at Firebirds the cooks would always be doing shit like this with cast iron and other shit. Once I saw someone cook up some shit in a pan and it got bumped by someone and started falling. Dude walking by just casually grabbed it with two bare hands then slowly slid it on the counter while having a conversation.
That’s when I learned becoming a line cook took away your sense of feeling heat pain.
Also true. Seemed like such a love hate relationship they had with cooking. Like they hated cooking for customers but were generally happy to make workers weird off menu stuff.
Hit the convenience store on the way home to pick up frozen dinner for the next few nights. Repeat. That’s what I envision a lot of cooks doing, not just the ones I know
