I guess I am biased, because after having worked in kitchens for so long, and getting completely burnt out on the entire scene, the whole workaholic
- perfectionistic-chef thing grinds my gears. It brings back flashbacks and I do get a lil uncomfortable when watching it.


Probably sounds weird, idk..

Agreed. It's kinda ridiculous. I've worked in kitchens all of my life, no way a sandwich shop is ever run like that. It's not realistic at all, imo...and the characters are all kind of annoying to me.

Matty Matheson is super annoying.

i think anyone that has worked in the service industry can relate to at least part of it. you should give it anothet go if you get a chance, but that said, i can see how it isn't for everyone.

Yeah, no, your'e right. I think I relate to it so well that, like i said, I feel uncomfortable when watching it. Like, my anxiety ramps up when it's on lol

That Career robbed me of a lot.

yep. this is why i tip ridiculously too much.

And for the sheetty pay lol...man, we were all crazy to do it for a living, but for some people, it works out and they thrive in that stress-filled, fast-paced environment. It takes a special kind of person, man..

I can relate, but in an inverse way. Whenever I watch a medical show, I laugh at how far from reality it is after my experience as a medical clinician. All that hooking up in Grey's Anatomy? Non-stop disasters? Lol. Honestly, the one I related the most with was Scrubs b/c of the hilarity that would happen at work w/ some of the absurd stuff that happened/patient shenanigans. While I don't work in a clinical setting anymore, I do miss the funny stuff that we'd deal with...

And lol I got the urge to slap him when he's making his cooks address him as "chef" all the time. "Yes, Chef." I never once said that to my boss/chef. Guess I never worked in any "real" kitchens lol. He would get laughed out of the room coming in a sandwich shop acting like that, man..

But most all other aspects are very realistic in the show

 

[buzd]

lol, that's not why.

No one should take my opinion on TV shows, but I'm a fan of this one.

I bet you'd love it even more if they used spray cheese from a can, lol...

Not spray cheese. Just melty cheese.

 

[nolaspe]

Not spray cheese. Just melty cheese.

I love cheese...

Oh, I haven't made it that far. 6 episodes into the 1st season lol. Maybe I should reserve judgement for the time being.

It's very much so a slow burn kind of show and takes awhile to hit its stride. But, when it does, it's very good. Amazing character development as they change over time. It's really a story about dealing with grief.

I can see how working in the industry could make it feel different. I feel the same about lawyer shows. Anyway, honestly, I think the whole show is really difficult to watch, but it's because the acting is so good and the character are so well written that they seem like real people.

I only waited tables for like 6 months, but that show ramps up my anxiety. It's not pleasant to watch but it is so well done.

I also waited tables before going to med school, it def was stressful as hell...

Episode 1 of this season was just so damn good...
