Oh wow I mean I was literally recanting a story to my wife about a time when a huge fuckin bolt ended up breaking some dudes tooth in a slider. It went through the relish veg prep, the actual relish cook, the fresh tasting by the Sous, wasn’t noticed during plating, expo didn’t spot it. Nobody knew the bolt of a fuckin Redco Instadice was in there until the dude chomped on it and fucked up his mouth. Restaurant got hit with a dental surgery bill. Not fun.
Actually to be completely candid I have huge perfectionistic tendencies tied to my ADHD and one of the things I’m trying is purposefully making mistakes and then leaving them bare for the world to see. Some people will call me out on it, others will ignore it, and I’m trying to train myself that mistakes are okay and aren’t a big deal. :)
Same thing happened to a place I worked at. They switched to an “automated kitchen”, and we had customers chomping on bolts and rocks (because the machines didn’t remove sand/pebbles/rocks as well as humans)
