Painfully Relatable Memes For People in the Restaurant Industry

The underbelly of working in the restaurant industry has gained a lot of attention since FX dropped their latest smash hit The Bear. The single-camera dramedy has both critics and viewers raving. Let's just say that awards season will be featuring a lot of "chef speak". But the kitchen slang that has become so popular is only one facet of chaotic restaurant life and the jobs that make the whole operation happen. The reality is a lot less sexy than Jeremy Allen White

The reality of working both back and front of house is honestly pretty smelly. You can't smell through TV, now, can you? It's also way more sweaty, and if you had an experience anything like mine, drug-fueled and mostly miserable. Sure, it can be invigorating to serve that ten top without a hitch, and to see that fat stack of tips. But that invigoration is temporary, as you'll likely blow most of the money at the bar and be incredibly tired for your next shift. Anyway, memes really paint a more accurate picture of the glamorous life of both back and front of house. And if you've been there - or are interested - we've got just the memes for you.
