I’m not the first or the last person to say this but I grew up in the restaurant industry (third generation restauranteur) and everything that happens in The Bear is real life. Every restaurant you eat at? That’s what’s behind the kitchen door. There’s a crazy culture of abuse (both mental and emotional) as well as rampant substance addiction that’s considered “normal”. And I’m very serious when I say TV personalities like Gordon Ramsey truly make things worse by perpetuating the idea that yelling and screaming at both coworkers and subordinates is how a restaurant “should work”. And that attitude has genuine, real world consequences. So many good chefs- and good people- have taken their own lives because it’s so taboo to ask for help, or even just that maybe being yelled at all day every day might not be good for people’s mental well being.

The kitchen is a wonderful place. People from all walks of life come together in order to make people smile, to make memories, to make food that tastes the way food SHOULD taste!! But it’s also the same place where human beings are treated like absolute garbage. It’s where people plate hundreds of wonderful meals a night, but then eat their own dinner hunched over a trash can. It’s where people escape to a cold, dark, damp walk-in freezer to cry, because that’s the only break they get from being on their feet for hours at a time. It’s the place where chefs sometimes walk out after a hard night and choose not to wake up the next day.

The restaurant industry is changing. Owners and managers say that it’s because “nobody wants to work anymore”, but the truth is that people refuse to let themselves be treated as disposable anymore.

I dunno. All this is to say- remember the human beings behind every dish you eat. The chefs who put so much of their lives into food and the emotions attached to it. Whenever possible, eat at restaurants that have designated kickback fees to the kitchen staff. And if you work in a kitchen… you’re loved. You’re valuable. Please never be afraid to reach out if you need it.

Read more on restaurant service fees here if you’re curious what they are and how they work:

Why Tipping Is So Out Of Control In The U.S.

Tipping in the United States is on the rise and experts are calling it tipflation. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the number of tips provided at full-service restaurants grew by 17% from the fourth quarter of 2021. Meanwhile the tip frequency at quick-service restaurants rose 16% during the same time period. Experts say that's because of the newer and sleeker-looking Point-of-Sale, or POS, systems by tech companies like Square, Toast and Clover, who also have increased their sales as a result. The pressure to tip well in front of the tip receiver, before a service is completed, or in front of other customers makes a difference for many. After customers swipe their credit card, they're typically prompted with three large tipping options on a screen. While businesses can opt out of the tipping feature, most aren't. In fact, even Starbucks started prompting customers for tips in stores in September 2022. With Americans being pressured to tip higher percentages and for more services, the question is, where is the tipping point?

Hong Kong Breakfast

Hong Kong local restaurants are some of the best places to eat, but they can be intimidating. Usually, there is a long lineup to get in. They are small, with the owners making maximum use of space. Every area is used. For breakfast, there is this western-HK fusion style. One of the best places is something I nicknamed ‘toast.’ The real name Man Wah Restaurant (民華餐廳).

The selection is limited, but all is good. I ordered my usual- Macaroni in a light satay soup, a side of ham, a yellow/orange egg and the thickest Toast. In addition, there was some Hong Kong-style French toast — thick Toast fried and covered in a lot of butter and condensed milk. I haven’t had it since he left, and it still is one of the best meals. It is basic, filling, but with this place, it is all about the Toast. It is thick, Texas-Sized, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. There is a crunch to it.

The French Toast was too much, though. There was a thick block of margarine on top and melted to combine with the condensed milk. It was filling with the golden crisp and pools of butter all around it. The taste is heavy and great. After not eating in 13 hours, it was a good idea but maybe not the best idea.

It wasn’t busy for a change. The plastic dividers held up with masking tape and could be toppled with a touch made it still feel small and cramped. There was a table for myself which gave a bit more space. The service is silent, maybe because of the lack of English, or they want you in and out as quickly as possible. The higher the table turnover, the more money they make.

There is a Man Wah in Tai Po, where I used to live. It was smaller, tighter and usually a long line up at any time. The thing I like most about the place, and most of this chain, is the staff tend to be older, and the change over is minimal. They know what they are doing. They do not chit-chat or fuss with the customers. The goal is to get them in and out as quickly as possible. It is typical Hong Kong service — straightforward and efficient. After getting used to this type of service, it makes it hard to go back to the typical North American or western style with all the pleasantries and niceties wondering if they are genuine or things to increase the tip.

The food was good and sent to my love, who is now living in America, to make him a bit jealous of the food. I was in and out in under 45 minutes. As soon as I stood up, someone was there to take my seat.
