The issue I see is that his kitchen is obviously in the vast minority of kitchens. From what I gathered from his replies over a year or so, he works in a completely silent kitchen, where absolutely no fun is to be had, no smoke breaks or bullshitting/flirting with FoH employees, and he somehow thinks that gives him the right to talk down to everyone else. Anytime someone posts anything that goes on in their kitchen not directly pertaining to cooking or cleaning, he acts as if its the most awful thing ever.

Sure, he is incredibly knowledgeable and occasionally passes out good advice, but I'll continue to joke and bullshit with my coworkers, take my one smoke break at the end after a 4 hour rush, and flirt with the servers and hostesses when they pass through. My prep still gets done, my station is immaculate, and food goes flying out the window as fast as it possibly can. I enjoy my job, love my coworkers, get paid well, and above all have fun. His way isn't the only way a kitchen should be run.
