    I was a chef for 10 years and worked in multiple kitchens. This just isnt true. At least its not a blanket rule.

    Ive worked in cheap places with immaculate kitchens and posh places with grotty kitchens and vice versa.

    Its luck of the draw sometimes but ive never EVER served food that fell on the floor or witnessed it happening.

    I think you have likely worked in some bad places.

      I concur. I’ve been in restaurant kitchens and most of them were more sanitary than the average home kitchen. They almost always have better ventilation, and they are cleaned regularly.

      It’s important to remember that the food is only as clean as the grossest person who had access to it. I was genuinely surprised at some of the shit I would see when my cooks thought I wasn’t watching them, especially during prep

        Like i said. Its not a blanket rule. Some places are bad. Others are good. But i was responding to someone who said all restaurants are less clean thatn your home kitchen which is verifiably false.
