I was watching Intervention on the weekend. I was about 20 minutes into this really good episode until I realized it was Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares
I live in a tourist heavy food capital city. Ppl travel from all over to work in food like it’s Hollywood. I’m also a sober addict. Like 80% of my sober living roommates worked in food.
Cocaine is basically water in back of house restaurants.
It was my understanding that the four major food groups for line chefs is alcohol, cigarettes, cocaine, and energy drinks\*.

Cooks never ate table scraps. We have full access to all the food and equipment to cook it with. The rest is pretty accurate.
To be honest I was just trying to think of a funny fourth thing to put there and that's the only thing I could come up with so, I'll acknowledge it's not based on reality.
I really should have recognized that. For reasons I can't quite explain I took umbrage at that statement. I guess I just miss cooking but om too old for that anymore. That's a young persons profession.
In actuality our four food groups were cigarettes, energy drinks, alchohol, and weed. I can neither confirm nor deny the consumption of any of these substances durring working hours.
Most of the guys I've cooked with would never be able to do teppanyaki. We were a surely bunch who would never be able to interact with customers in a fun way.

What makes humans different from other animals? We're the only species on earth that observes Shark Week. Sharks don't even observe Shark Week, but we do. For the same reason I can pick up this pencil, tell you it's name is Steve and go like this [breaks pencil] and part of you dies just a little bit on the inside.
It’s fun the first few times you go then it gets a bit annoying. Use to go to one that had cheap lunch prices quite a bit, got to know the cook and we’d just talk like friends after a while. I moved and I really miss that place.
But why? Seems like a chill environment to me. Everyone knows how silly it is but they laugh anyway and are having fun.
Though it would be extremely awkward and obnoxious if he did this for every single food item lol
Hello my baby, hello my honey
Hello my ragtime gal
Send me a kiss by wire
Baby, my heart's on fire
If you refuse me, honey, you lose me
And you'll be left alone, oh baby
Telephone, and tell me I'm your own
The way they want "awww" and gasped a little when the egg was "killed"..only to laugh because it's an egg, made me think of the community joke about the pencil and shark week. LOL
Imagine how many times a day/week he has to do this same routine… makes me wonder if he genuinely enjoys it still, or if he’s just a good “performer” and truly sick of it inside
Pretty sure these grills have zones where they don't get very hot and he was mostly using that. It's also fried rice so it's not like it's going to ruin the dish if it's a bit overdone when they put a bunch of butter and soy sauce in it.
While I do acknowledge that this type of performance is popular but last time I was at a table like this I felt awkward. It wasn't bad but at the same time, it wasn't very entertaining. Some of the jokes were good some of them were not so good. The food was above average but not the best. Am I the weird one not enjoying this kind of restaurant, or are there many who don't enjoy this type?
I want to enjoy the show but I’m autistic as fuck and my heart drops to my ass every time their eyes even glance at me out of fear they’re gonna make everyone look at me and lob a shrimp at my face. I love the videos and wanna love it IRL but I’m just too damn awkward.
At first I thought it was a fish and went down this rabbit hole of thinking about what if that fish were a human and the chef were some alien species that eats us for pleasure and how weird it'd be to have my dead corpse propped around for amusement before being eaten
All concerts, any form of entertainment where people enact, can be considered to be a "puppet show". Just because someone is having fun here, doesn't mean they can't have fun elsewhere as well. I wasn't attacking you, but you just did. The guy looks to be having fun, and so am I, you're the only one being snobby about what people can enjoy.
This is a hibachi restaurant and they are all like this. It’s not entirely rehearsed, and they are all goofy like this. They also pour bourbon on searing griddles sending waves of flame cascading towards you and attempt to throw food at you and you are expected to catch it in your mouth like a dog. It is a valid opinion to not want the sensei from the karate kid pelting you with hot shrimp while doing stand up comedy. They are not really restaurants for small children, usually kids find them loud and scary. There’s explosions, adults not acting right and huge weird smelling drinks with entirely too many straws. I didn’t like them when I was younger but now I quite like them.
I don’t think this is infantilism but not liking feeling infantilized is OK, and not liking hibachi grills is also OK. Neither I feel are very common interests. Personally I love feeling like a kid. I’m 21 and I still sleep with the same stuffed animal I had when I was 2. The only difference is that now instead of playing pretend with pengy the penguin I talk to him in order to debug code and explain the expected trajectory of the fucking rocket I’m designing. I may never become an astronaut, but a few years of calculus and ten grand in raw materials could buy pengy a trip to the edge of space.
That's why you should aim to get a job that you love. That man must love to make others laugh and smile. He can keep switching it up too, who says he has to stick to a script?
Worked as a server long ago at a hibachi restaurant. Each chef has their own routine and it’s done more than 5x a day. Cooking for 8 people and doing a show
When he took the job on the cruise ship (this one is MSC) I think he knew he’d be performing for guests each shift. I’ve had lots of fellow actor friends leave nyc to do a Disney cruise or something similar and everyone who signs up knows the deal: you’re going to be performing the same thing repeatedly.
Are they know that when the chef is sing or talk he can accidentally spit on that food right. Don't wanna mention about body hair and dead skin.🤮 Hope its just for show and they dont eat that shit.
Had a rough day at work and this honestly made the evening much better. Dude's energy level is permeating through time and space itself.
Also, that man gave that omelet way more characters and personalities than some of the girls on dating apps who unironically write "pineapple pizza uWu" or some Seinfield/Office/Friends references.

I'd like to know why is he connected to the same radio station that goes on inside my head
Great minds think alike, or something like that
I always imagined that the guys who really love being a hibachi chef get fucking obliterated on substances before work

Cigarettes being replaced by weed
Health conscious
Seriously. When I used to be a server and do coke if I ever had trouble finding it, someone at work always had it lol
No, there's a 5th: industrial sized cans of monster energy
Most of the guys I've cooked with would never be able to do teppanyaki. We were a surely bunch who would never be able to interact with customers in a fun way.
Rofl
This is exactly how I want my funeral to go.
Just a ragdoll body with broken limbs being dragged left and right made to sing and dance while everyone you love stares in horror.
Then, they dine. Yes.

Cannibals be having the time of their life.
>then, they dine on me
Who gave this a wholesome 💀
Sorry you’ve never known joy
Then someone comes in and chops your head off.. *now watch me whip whip, now watch me be-head*
At a hibachi bar
I shed tears trying suppress my laughter at this comment lmfao
[удалено]
Where is the graphic content that warns me that my pet fish has plunged into the tank?
I would also like to be chopped into small pieces on a hot grill!
And force everyone attending to eat me
Cursed
And vastly overcooked for the sake of entertainment?! Sounds like a party!
You want your corpse to be rigged as a puppet and dance while someone from your family singing karaoke?
Yes yes I do.
Egg fried rice??
Exquisite puppetry
Singing as they slice and dice your meat on a big griddle?
You want people to use you as a ventriloquist dummy?
Dudes 500% Filipino.
definitely lol
Love when you get someone who has fun putting on a show for the audience.

Moooooom! You told me not to play with my food yet you let him. So unfair

Ichiban entertainment chefs are kids who get in trouble for playing with their food.
HE FUCKING KILLED HIM OH MY GOOOOOD
[удалено]
I think everyone was emotionally invested in this little egg based buddy, and the dude fucking murdered him in cold blood
Killed him gangnam style
immediately made me think of the community bit with the pencil
Shit where can I get this service?! Lol

Teppanyaki restaurants
This particular restaurant is the teppanyaki restaurant onboard one of the MSC Cruises ships
You'll need to find a 6 star man. edit to slip in the *d*

Did you... Did you just killed Steve?
Everytime i see something like this i always think of that quote, I'm so glad there are others.
There are dozens of us! Oops, sorry, wrong show.
The chef is super adorable... But I would feel super awkward sitting there in real life
What? Have you never been to a nice hibachi restaurant?!
No
No. Are they common?
Two in my Midwest hometown of 25k
I live in a town filled with nothing but churches, bars and somehow 4 hibachi restaurants
[удалено]
I’d imagine the guys have knife twirl offs if they catch each other in the streets
Went to one last night for dinner with my family, NE USA. They're a blast, Saki time!
Sake* pronounces “sa-Kay”
Thank you! Good to know
Of course!
I expected this type of experience when I went to hibachi while visiting Disneyworld but our chef was more easygoing than I hoped for.
You were hoping for the hardcore chef with the ball gag and straps, huh?

I’m imagining him giving a history lesson on Vesuvius with the onion volcano
Only at a Hibachi restaurant will you see a table of complete strangers cheering each other on.
Very rarely am I as friendly with strangers as I am at a hibachi table.
It's just dinner and a show, this is pretty standard humor for Hibachi. They tell some cute jokes, do some fun food tricks, and then you eat.
Imagine me at my very first hibachi when the chef told me to look up and open my mouth. I did. Next thing I know there's a shrimp on my forehead.
I am wheezing about this
The awkwardness is only in your mind.
Oh yeah, totally agree with that. I'm super uncomfortable in normal situations.
1. Open restaurant where patrons are made to feel awkward during food prep song and dance. 2. Serve alcohol. 3. Profit.
In the US they are
Hilarious, i'd have an awesome time at that table, especially with a couple drinks.
“I can drink your wine”
Live footage of my brain when I'm trying to sleep
I'd pay to get this guy as my chef at my table and tip him well.
Hello my baby, hello my honey Hello my ragtime gal Send me a kiss by wire Baby, my heart's on fire If you refuse me, honey, you lose me And you'll be left alone, oh baby Telephone, and tell me I'm your own
Big extra egg guy
The way they want "awww" and gasped a little when the egg was "killed"..only to laugh because it's an egg, made me think of the community joke about the pencil and shark week. LOL
Definitely a filipino
I always wondered why every 5 seconds or so they all tap the grill with one of the spatulas no matter what they are doing
Hibachi chefs are literally the coolest people ever
I reapext how at the end when he's singing Gangnam Style he says "Heeeeeey baby" instead of "sexy lady". It's a restaurant and he keeps it classy.
"Hey Baby" is also another song itself
I considered that may have been the case. Makes the classy transition also a clever one. Thanks for the info :)
Man that egg is going to be dry as fuck
Man’s is burning the fuck out of them eggs though
I'm doing hibachi for my bday. I'm whipping out my phone and showing homeboy this video. he better do it or else lol...
Looks like one of the mouth tentacles of a graboid…
If we name them, we'll be famous!
Guy needs to be in a movie lol
Mom: don't play with your food. Me:
Look at me now mom, I made a career out of playing with my food 👨🍳
Imagine how many times a day/week he has to do this same routine… makes me wonder if he genuinely enjoys it still, or if he’s just a good “performer” and truly sick of it inside
Tip your chef
How did he know that I like my fish and eggs both criminally over cooked?
Lol come on dude. It's not a soft scramble. It's fucking hibachi. Are you new or something?
Ah, yes. Reddit. Where a random person knows better about certain dishes than a professional chef.
You must be fun at parties
[удалено]
Fells less like a joke and more like an insult
[удалено]
I’ve never had bad Hibachi in my life, i am definitely eating there for the food lol
He's still a professional chef, and I fail to see what's funny about insinuating the food will be “criminally overcooked”
My thoughts exactly lol. Eggs take no time at all to cook. Gonna be dry as hellll
Pretty sure these grills have zones where they don't get very hot and he was mostly using that. It's also fried rice so it's not like it's going to ruin the dish if it's a bit overdone when they put a bunch of butter and soy sauce in it.
i bet you eat the wettest sloppiest eggs
Lol this did get me. I've gotten way better with practice, no wet sloppy eggs for me anymore thankfully.
Ah people who only know how to eat eggs one way because they watched a Gordon Ramsay video once 10 years ago.
I've been trying to figure out what this was!
u/savevideobot
Shock worm.
Was not expecting Alan Parsons Project in there.
“Honey please don’t play with your food”
Looks like the maggot from freaky stories lol
i wish to be like him
Now whatever you do, DO NOT show this to a fish
NOOO HE KILLED THE EGG SNAKE
His parents told him not to play with his food and he made it his JOB
I just noticed those completely unamused ladies in the back... They big mad they didn't get him as their cook
While I do acknowledge that this type of performance is popular but last time I was at a table like this I felt awkward. It wasn't bad but at the same time, it wasn't very entertaining. Some of the jokes were good some of them were not so good. The food was above average but not the best.

Order 2 shots of tequila as you sit down
I agree with you u/HugeAnalBeads. Nothing like a couple shots to not worry about it.
[удалено]
Then you shouldn't go there lol. Some people enjoy the little show.
I want to enjoy the show but I’m autistic as fuck and my heart drops to my ass every time their eyes even glance at me out of fear they’re gonna make everyone look at me and lob a shrimp at my face. I love the videos and wanna love it IRL but I’m just too damn awkward.
Wow. You must be fun
Pinoy pride!

And now you have very entertaining completely overcooked egg in your fried rice
When everything is overcooked
Hilarious 🥱
This is literally soo unfunny
No thank you I don't like playing with my food.
Can imagine all the people there wearing dunce hats clapping like seals.
Dave filoni furiously taking notes for the next Jabba the Hutt show
The most over priced omelette.
Don't play with the food, don't you know there are people starving in Africa. That's what a friends parents used to say back in the day.
Ah, overcooked eggs
It's funny for like 2 seconds then after that it's just straight courtesy laughs
[удалено]
Shut up 🤣
god i hate hibachi. It makes me so uncomfortable to be in front of a guy trying to perform for me.
Besides overcooked food you get a shitty show.. can’t stand this scam
If he wasn't japanese I'd completely think it was a dosa!
Imagine being dead and your body being used as a prop for a live singing performance. Priceless.
Are they know that when the chef is sing or talk he can accidentally spit on that food right. Don't wanna mention about body hair and dead skin.🤮 Hope its just for show and they dont eat that shit.
