Yessss!! Its just stupid. The amount of time it took to stack this and carry it out, made everything cold and cross contaminated.
Hope nobody is allergic to the shrimp cause its all over everyones plates now
100% this, work in the food service industry for 5 seconds and you know never eat anything that touched the bottom of the plate. I hate when they do that to my food, I know what happens in restaurant kitchens, even the nice ones.
Trying to hide the bugs that come from the food trucks. Jesus christ. We can't chem fog all produce on an assembly line. We can clean it all. Insects are pernicious little fucks though. This isnt to mention the guests that insects may hitch rides on without them even knowing.
Shit happens. Some shit is absolutely unexcusable, like don't hold my glass from the place I put my lips. Don't sneeze into your hands then wipe it on your jeans then proceeed to serve me my food. There's etiquette ofc. But yeah, its a hub of social activity. Its a germ orgy in restaurants
You can always trust Reddit to ruin things lmao. Give them a break, they clearly focus on views, aesthetics and fancy service. I obviously haven't tried the food, but judging from the amount of costumers they have I can at least tell it's not bad.
And what does it matter that the menu is small? I personally see the opposite to be the negative thing. Making a few dishes good is way better than making alot of dishes bad. You're not gonna try the whole menu either are you?
In the best case scenario, they go from clean stack to clean hands of staff or a cook, cook will likely need to set it down so that surface will need to be very clean, then the waiter needs to have clean hands. If any part of that process the surface or hands are contaminated with something that can make people sick, there's a chance it ends up on the bottom of the plate and on to the top of someone's meal with how these are stacked.
Yeah, we are all religously sanitizing surfaces like 24/7. Even wiping the edges of plates from finger smudges. Germs are germs.
We dont have photographic memory of the door handle we touched that was also touched by over 100 people that day. Then we proceed to scratch our faces, eyes, nose, mouth, etc.
I know many people that work as cooks in these types of restaurants and trust me, these people exercise very little hygiene when handling food. I’ve been to their home, they don’t fucking wash their hands and when they do, they cross contaminate themselves back again by touching the now contaminated faucet handle. Why else were the earliest COVID cases in the US at restaurants? Literally everyone I knew that worked at a restaurant in the kitchen, got COVID in early 2020.
During the height of the pandemic (Summer 2020) I asked them if the dishwashing was altered, nah, dishes were all washed as normal, no fancy tech or extra chemicals to disinfect.
And btw, most restaurants use unfiltered tap water. Most restaurants don’t have cameras spying on their cooks.
More reasonable interpretations of the facts you seem alarmed by:
Normal dishwashing procedures weren't altered, because they work fine.
Unfiltered tap water is used, because it works fine.
People don't spy on their cooks, because why would they need to?
Covid is a respiratory illness. Everyone got Covid because a kitchen line is often cramped and you spend long stretches of time together. Depending on how fancy or working as expediter will often find you shoulder to shoulder with someone.
Most kitchen staff don’t get pto (in US at least) and can’t take off without risking getting fired. I definitely worked when I had strep, once with the flu, and another time with bronchitis.
That's when they're clean and haven't touched anything but the
sanitized drying racks though.
A plate can move to 4+ prep stations, then to a space under a heat lamp, then to the last station where you're adding things like garnish or condiments and finally onto the counter where the servers are putting trays and loading them up.
Those surfaces are probably not getting fully sanitized but once a day (if you're lucky) despite food regularly spilling on them and the bottoms of the trays sliding across them. The tray bottoms are super gross too, especially if they get set on tables rather than on tray stands. Commercial kitchens are wild.
This was unnecessary. He is fucking his body up doing this for what? A video. Like it doesn’t have to be this way. He is not gaining anything except possible long term damage.
I did this for a long time, at my peak could carry 2 full trays with 10-12 entrees a piece on each tray. Because I have a effed up wrist I also did this by supporting the trays with my finger tips instead of using full palms/wrist to support
Can’t say for sure, but I think my back is wrecked at least in part due to this
I used to do it as well. One of the most fun jobs I’ve ever had. We used covers so they stacked better. 16 was my max. Any more and I would loose one to hanging plants.
Would help if they at least switched hands. But if they didn't have REALLY good posture, which is especially hard to maintain under that kind of weight and even more so with it all on one side, then they'd probably just wind up fucking up both sides 😅😅😅
Not too surprising. Just more people selling their physical and eventually mental health for money, like practically everyone else.
I mean, it looks impressive, it is impressive, but it is definitely not worth it.
Nah worse. He’s fucking up his body for a shit job that doesn’t even pay an hourly minimum wage. This video makes me want to start a violent revolution.
I’m not at all agreeing with this many plates. But I worked as a good runner for two years, you learn to maximize the space on the tray and take less trips.
I was walking nearly 28k steps in a 8 hour shift, and that was with me maximizing the space as best as I could in an extremely busy restaurant.
I definitely fucked my shoulder up during that time though, I was having some really bad shoulder instability after a while and luckily I’m not doing that type of work anymore.
I found this to be nextfuckinglevelSTUPID. If my order was part of that I would totally refuse to eat that food, delivered like a stack of dirty dishes.
Lol. As I watched I was thinking: “this looks like me struggling to taking all the groceries in at once because I don’t want to go back to the car”
Then one of the bag bottoms rips open right at the front steps 💥
Yeah, there's at least 2 other dudes walking in your direction. 6 plates each, and if someone should drop their load only 1/3rd of the meal needs to be remade.
Or grabbed another two or three waiters. 10% chance of dropping all those and having to make them wait/comped is not really worth the.. what maybe a minute saved?
Not to mention, who's gonna be paying for his physical therapy in a few years?
For real, the long term damage is definitely a reality. I worked at cracker barrel for a measly *2 months* as a server, and they don’t let you use those things that fold out so you can set trays on them. We’d be carrying out big ass loaded trays that were 40 lbs each (bc of those goddamn plates made of lead it seems like), and having to hold it entirely on the heel of our palm, balancing it, while pulling those heavy ass plates off with the other. Sometimes the plates literally were so hot we burned ourselves (I gave myself a nice little second degree burn by having the audacity to be short and reaching up to grab syrup bottles off the heated pass through window). When I quit that job, I had carpal tunnel. Shit still gives me trouble four years later.
Not to mention working 8 hours on your feet, no breaks, and being told that if we ate a biscuit - even if it was on the way to the trash bc they made them fresh like every two hours and threw out the old ones - it was workplace theft and we’d be written up.
They also told me i couldn’t talk to my mom on Mother’s Day, who came to eat at Cracker Barrel bc I had to work.
Fucking Cracker Barrel man.
Or the other dude couldn't help him the whole way? LOL Kinda infuriating to see this poor bastard walk as far as he had to with that bullshit on his shoulder.
I worked in the restaurant business for almost 6 years. I can tell you that those plates sit in not so clean areas, from the counters in the kitchen, under the heating lamps, to the counter the servers use. Now placing them on top of others with food, you're risking cross contamination.
I’ve worked in kitchens for 10 years as well and I’m not sure where y’all were keeping the plates that they would be so much dirtier on the bottom than the top. All the places you mentioned should be clean enough that it shouldn’t present a safety and sanitation issue.
Edit 2: What kind of filthy ass restaurants are y’all eating at where you can’t even trust the counters/dish racks/other surfaces to be sanitized?
Edit: Here’s a [link](https://www.google.com/search?q=Las+Ma%C3%B1anitas+Brewster%2C+NY&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari) to the restaurant. They seem to be well reviewed so if you haven’t been there maybe save the criticism until you actually have something to complain about.
I have walked through a kitchen for 25 years and I don’t have any experience in a restaurant but I know that those plates are heavy and this was not worth saving the extra trip for.
I’m guessing this is not a regular occurrence and the waiter is pushing the limits for a video and also it’s hard to say whether it’s worth it without knowing what the tip is 🤷♂️
you worked in kitchens for 10 years, and you don't see a problem with the bottom of plates resting on the food of the plate below it, let alone any of the other shit going down in this video?
We had good reviews and good inspections and i still saw things that werent so healthy. and yes oh hell yes they have to keep clean. But that doesnt always happen. Those plates get places on cutting boards in the kitchen and unless they wipe down with sanitizer every few minutes and on rush hr.. theres always cross contamination risk. And i can almost bet no health inspector would say that placing plates like that is ok.
Also everything about this is stupid as hell. No manager in their right mind would ever let a server do this. The risk is too great for basically no reward. Save 2 minutes and double the chances of dropping dozens of plates? No thank you, just make multiple trips.
Having worked in several kitchens, there's only one I'd be ok with doing this and it's the only one that does do this. I'm not going to name names but dishes pretty much came straight off the dish line to a clean rack then from there to a prep counter that got wiped down pretty much hourly with a rag from the sanitizer bucket, to the tray, then to the table. The dishes were never on anything dirty the whole time and it isn't that hard
That said, I also don't like this simply because if that guy drops the tray someone might get hurt and it truly is inefficient. Waiters use it to impress the guests and hope it improves their tip
I'm food handler certified and that's one of the first things they teach, but you don't need to be food handler certified to know that putting the bottom of plates on someone's food is probably not hygienic. Then again this restaurant can't fathom the concept of a trolley/cart to carry food, so I doubt they can fathom sanitation.
Yep. I worked as a server from 16 to 19, and occasionally from 21 to 23. I only carried trays with 6 plates, or bus tubs that weighed maybe 30 lbs on my shoulder, but it fucked up my shoulder so bad that I had to do PT when I was 21. I'm only in my mid/late 20's and I'm in daily pain. It wasn't even like I suddenly tore something someday or would go home feeling super sore, it just gradually started hurting more and more as I got older and never stopped.
If I was his manager he would've gotten the talk about this. I didn't count but that's easily over $100 of entrees, maybe more than $200 riding on being delivered to the customer on that one tray, to the next state over. Like shit stacked 2 high max from now on and only for extremely large groups. You drop that many dishes not only does the massive group get hungrier and disgruntled, but the entire kitchen would have to rush to remake it again, delaying the rest of the customers food.
Are there any rules or anything regarding stacking them where the bottom of plates are touching the food. You make valid points regarding cost and delays but contamination seems like it would be an issue as well?
I hate this. His ear and hair are right in a couple of those plates and having worked in the food industry for years, the bottom of those plates aren’t that clean.
Yeah, at that point, I got why he didn't want to make TWO trips to fuckin Narnia and back. But probably still should've just had another person help out. He can't be the only server/runner for that party, let alone that restaurant.
I worked with a cocky manager like that.
When you make a mistake, and all it takes is one, it’s a *BIG* mistake. My manager knocked twelve steaks on the ground doing that.
Just make two or three trips.
This is not elite; this is terrible on so man levels. Terrible teamwork and/or understaffed restaurant. it took so long to arrange the plates like that, it will all be cold when it arrives. the bottoms of the plates are touching the food below, so the table/tablecloths are going to get dirty. if he trips, the restaurant loses 100s of dollars in product and prob 40 minutes of work to replate all that; not to mention it would look terrible to the guests who are paying probably 10s of thousands to host a wedding there having 2 dudes spend 15 minutes cleaning up the plates and leaving lots of food on the grass behind. Jesus.. I could go on here..
I don't like my food being directly touched by the bottom of the plates. Gross. He had 2 people helping him, why not just split the load? What a shit show.
Y’all know those plates are stacked on top of each other in the kitchen right? They don’t um, have thousands of plates sitting solo. Your plate has been fully covered by the bottom of another plate until food started getting put on it. Yeah it touched the board on the line for like, 15 seconds while they plated it but where do you think your garnish was sitting anyway? This is a completely ridiculous thing to worry about.
Instead of bitching about that, how about we bitch about the toxic culture of restaurants that foster an environment where this guy is capable of doing that in the first place?
Certainly and impressive display that very few could attempt. I hope all the internet praise is worth it. Just hope he doesn't actually do this every day or he'll be spending all those tips on physio.
I knew nothing bad was gonna happen since the sub is nextfuckinglevel, but jesus christ, the anxiety of just looking at all those plates while he walks.
I knew a waiter in Vegas that carried trays like that for 20+ years and he showed me how his forearm bones bent into a slight curve from doing it for so long.
Dude just take two trips.
Yessss!! Its just stupid. The amount of time it took to stack this and carry it out, made everything cold and cross contaminated. Hope nobody is allergic to the shrimp cause its all over everyones plates now
I’m allergic to the bottom of someone else’s plate

Plates are stored stacked up directly on top of each other after being washed though.

My boyfriend had to have back surgery after working as a caterer. 🙃
My back surgeon told me that all waiters who carry trays get back problems, sooner or later.

Yeah, there's at least 2 other dudes walking in your direction. 6 plates each, and if someone should drop their load only 1/3rd of the meal needs to be remade.
Exactly this— just grab another server to help run the food. That’s what we would do for big top orders. It takes less than a minute.
Or the 5 other guys scrambling around opening doors for him and guiding him could have just helped grab some of it
They're busy working the camera and holding the doors. Those are important jobs these days!
He has a cameraman and a couple of escorts they could have split it among themselves and got it done without the stress.
Work harder. Not smarter.
Yeah there's no reason for this. I'd be pissed my food is trampled on by plates
Be honest though, if we knew we could do it we would want to do it in one trip
Or grabbed another two or three waiters. 10% chance of dropping all those and having to make them wait/comped is not really worth the.. what maybe a minute saved? Not to mention, who's gonna be paying for his physical therapy in a few years?

NEVER!!!
4 trips
2 people, 2 trips each aught to do it. That is a lot of food.
No
With all the people helping, they could've all split the load.
Yeah like put the camera down and help ffs!
Jesus bro, it was for a video. Obviously they could
Right lol whole time he volunteered n sht
Nothing says high quality restaurant like having my food stacked into a bunch of weight from other plates. It clearly was for a video and not quality.

I've been a restaurant for over 38 years and I can confirm there is food and sometimes even plates.
This guy restaurants.
I am a 34 year old restaurant and let me tell ya .. plates and food! That’s for sure Wait shit r/yourjokebutworse

We had good reviews and good inspections and i still saw things that werent so healthy. and yes oh hell yes they have to keep clean. But that doesnt always happen.

Well, I know here on reddit we shit on absolutely everything no matter what. So there.
I don’t want the bottom of a plate in my food. Maybe that’s just me
Also everything about this is stupid as hell. No manager in their right mind would ever let a server do this. The risk is too great for basically no reward. Save 2 minutes and double the chances of dropping dozens of plates? No thank you, just make multiple trips.

I worked restaurants and shops and the restaurants did far more damage to my body, not to mention my mind...
This shit hurts your wrists much more. Doesn't bother your back you are just leaning as a counterweight.
Former server myself. My wrists hurt just watching this.
Yep. I worked as a server from 16 to 19, and occasionally from 21 to 23. I only carried trays with 6 plates, or bus tubs that weighed maybe 30 lbs on my shoulder, but it fucked up my shoulder so bad that I had to do PT when I was 21.

It wasn't even like I suddenly tore something someday or would go home feeling super sore, it just gradually started hurting more and more as I got older and never stopped.
The risk to reward balance is negative here
If I was his manager he would've gotten the talk about this. I didn't count but that's easily over $100 of entrees, maybe more than $200 riding on being delivered to the customer on that one tray, to the next state over.

Pretty sure it’s a PR thing organised by the restaurant, don’t think someone went „hey jimmy carry 27‘s plates all at once“
Yeah, because if it was so busy that they couldn’t have anyone help him, why is there a camera man?
What? I’m literally saying that there is a camera man because it’s a PR stunt
I was agreeing with you and saying why. I’m just high and vibing rn sorry dawg
Ay man enjoy
Are there any rules or anything regarding stacking them where the bottom of plates are touching the food. You make valid points regarding cost and delays but contamination seems like it would be an issue as well?
I hate this. His ear and hair are right in a couple of those plates and having worked in the food industry for years, the bottom of those plates aren’t that clean.
Not the mention the sharp exhale from the effort to lift right on those plates.
The bottoms of the plates go through the dishwasher just like the tops do, then sit, stacked, in all the same places. Source: former dishwasher.
Agreed but the surfaces they are placed on afterwards aren’t as clean.
Current server, and I promise I did not wipe off that counter before the placing the plate on it.
You didn’t order those chips with a side of hair and ear? You sure? *takes entire order back*
Pointless. I’d be more impressed if this dude spilt the work with a couple of his coworkers who held doors and filmed it.
Really? That wouldn't be an interesting video.
Neither is this really
That food went to another zip code.
Yeah, at that point, I got why he didn't want to make TWO trips to fuckin Narnia and back. But probably still should've just had another person help out. He can't be the only server/runner for that party, let alone that restaurant.
Hell, there were several people going with him...
I worked with a cocky manager like that. When you make a mistake, and all it takes is one, it’s a *BIG* mistake. My manager knocked twelve steaks on the ground doing that. Just make two or three trips.
🤣your username. I love it!
I appreciate you ✌🏽
I would question a service like this.
This is not elite; this is terrible on so man levels. Terrible teamwork and/or understaffed restaurant. it took so long to arrange the plates like that, it will all be cold when it arrives. the bottoms of the plates are touching the food below, so the table/tablecloths are going to get dirty. if he trips, the restaurant loses 100s of dollars in product and prob 40 minutes of work to replate all that; not to mention it would look terrible to the guests who are paying probably 10s of thousands to host a wedding there having 2 dudes spend 15 minutes cleaning up the plates and leaving lots of food on the grass behind. Jesus.. I could go on here..
Maybe I don't want the bottom of another plate touching the food in my dish. Just sayin'...
I don't like my food being directly touched by the bottom of the plates. Gross. He had 2 people helping him, why not just split the load? What a shit show.
And his hair and ear are def coming in contact with some of the food
Las Mañanitas - Brewster, NY Foods insane too
Glad to know. Never going there, ever.
Food is insane in a good/tasty way??
I went here for a big family get together and it was a great time, great food
Do the sideburn hair they serve is as good as it looks?
“Um, I said ‘no rice’”
Legend says he's still in wrist surgery to this day.
Poor young fellas back is going to be jacked up by 30 if he keeps that up. Yup just became my father
I’m sure the owner was thrilled to see this video 🤣 Not like a whole lot of food and dishware could get destroyed.
This is borderline r/whatcouldgowrong
Y’all know those plates are stacked on top of each other in the kitchen right? They don’t um, have thousands of plates sitting solo. Your plate has been fully covered by the bottom of another plate until food started getting put on it. Yeah it touched the board on the line for like, 15 seconds while they plated it but where do you think your garnish was sitting anyway? This is a completely ridiculous thing to worry about. Instead of bitching about that, how about we bitch about the toxic culture of restaurants that foster an environment where this guy is capable of doing that in the first place?
Hmm someone with more than 2 braincells, nice
I appreciate the wing man clearing the path, but maybe he could of just carried idk half the plates?
Thats the walk I have trying to make it to the toilet 🚽 before I shit my pants!!!
Holy back problems batman
Just open the other door as well goddammit
This is dumb
Spinal stenosis has entered the chat
He has a bandage on his wrist 😐

Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Certainly and impressive display that very few could attempt. I hope all the internet praise is worth it. Just hope he doesn't actually do this every day or he'll be spending all those tips on physio.
I knew nothing bad was gonna happen since the sub is nextfuckinglevel, but jesus christ, the anxiety of just looking at all those plates while he walks.
[удалено]
I could hear him saying the loudest *Corner !?!- that even the restaurant down the block would acknowledge it …
Homeboy is carrying 18 future shits right there
I knew a waiter in Vegas that carried trays like that for 20+ years and he showed me how his forearm bones bent into a slight curve from doing it for so long.
This is the same restaurant with the kid [flying](https://youtube.com/shorts/h2Q9ws59JBQ?feature=share) sprinting up and down the stairs
He just fucked his shoulder completely.
Caught my breath every time he went down a flight of stairs.
The risk:reward ratio is a bit unbalanced for my taste.
Incredible... But almost disappointed he succeeded
so stupid
Very impressive but why the restaurant gotta have tables way the fuck out in Kansas
I've been to this restaurant many times, the food is dope
I would be mad if I got the plate his ear was in
This is me getting all my grocery bags from the car in one go coz I'm too lazy to go back and forth.
