I don’t think he needed to act. It was genuine horror for a chef

Omg, yes. I’m a chef and part of my own soul died a little when I saw that. And then the ketchup came out and I wanted to cry

@@melindafield6880 I'm just a home cook who does it for a hobby but I straight up had a heart attack when I saw them put ketchup on a steak and then complained that it wasn't cooked enough

That hurt so badly. I feel that pain almost every time I make a new recipe at home. lol

I think part of his soul died for reals not just for show

I like salt.

the shuffle to the microwave was epic!

I hope he is in more!

The only thing missing was the old man complaining that the steak was tough after he stuffed it in the microwave.

I love his face when he eats the cool whip haha! He's so happy

That’s very easy to correct. Just don’t give them the option. Kids aren’t naturally picky, we train them to be that way.

@@charlescole7532 Slight correction: *Most* kids aren't naturally picky. If your kid happens to be nuerodivergent (such as if they have ADHD or autism), sensory issues could come into play. For whomever may read this: If your kid is uncommonly picky or selective with food despite your best efforts, it may be worth looking into whether they have other symptoms of ADHD or autism as well. Food sensitivity is one of the easiest symptoms to spot in young kids. Same with sensitivity in the other senses, such as sensitivity to loud noises, the feel of certain things like tags on clothing, etc. Not all kids with ADHD or Autism will have sensitivity issues, and not all will have all kinds, but it is there for many.

@@CeruleanStar interesting I never heard this before. I have ADHD and I always been a picky eater. If I don't like a food it's really hard to eat it I might even throw up if I force myself to eat things I don't like.

@@violetdusk1968 I have ADHD as well, but I wasn't diagnosed until I was an adult. Looking back, I definitely showed some pretty clear sensory processing issues as a kid. I had a hard time with food too. My mom tried to help, but she eventually had to give in and feed me what I liked just to get me to eat. I was perfectly willing to starve myself over going through the trauma of forcing down foods I was adverse to. It's hard for people who don't experience these symptoms to understand. Some tastes and textures overwhelmed me in a way only pain could otherwise. I think I have only experienced pain as bad as the overwhelm eating some of the foods I was very adverse to caused maybe twice in my life. Of course I didn't want to eat things that caused me the equivalent of very bad levels of pain. I imagine your wanting to throw up is a very normal response to this type of aversion. I did manage to train myself out of most of it starting in my teenage years, but it was a slow and very long process. I still don't handle some foods well, but I am a lot better than I was as a kid. (I wouldn't recommend someone training a neurodivergent child out of this before they are ready though. It could very well create trauma.) Sensory processing issues are a symptom of ADHD that aren't talked enough about. Because of my personality, I was able to mask most of my ADHD as a kid. The sensory processing issues were one of the only clear signs that could have been picked up on. If people had been more open about and aware of this symptom of neurodivergence, I could have had the benefit of an early diagnosis. Of course, not everyone with ADHD will have this symptom, and those who do will have it in different ways with different levels of severity. I guess I'm just trying to spread awareness. I may not be the person to do so in the best way, but I hope that maybe someone could read this and have something click for themselves or a loved one.

@@CeruleanStar I agree. as an adult it is easier to re-try some foods I didn't like when I was younger but it's still hard for me to try new foods. I never realized I even had these sensory reactions until now. Sometimes when I eat food when I'm super hungry it actually hurts my tongue when the food first hits my mouth. Also one I was like wtf is asmr I looked it up and realized certain music makes me tingle on my skin and almost go into a trance if I focus to much. I was a ADHD kid in the 90s and they really didn't understand any of this back then. The school teachers just wanted us on drugs so we would be easier to control. I think food may have something to do with ADHD as well because I notice in my children when they eat certain things I can watch their little engines rev as the energy starts surging through them.

That's when you tell them, "Fine, we'll make a "fine dining" meal, tonight (or some other time within the week), but you're going to be here to observe their reactions, and why we don't make "fancy" food.

One at a daycare the director wanted soup beans and ham. Can you guess who would not eat it.

@@marigold3687 That director is a moron. A toddler's taste pallet is just developing. You don't serve fancy food to kids that young. New foods are suppose to be introduced slowly.

@@jreyman Dad was in assisted living - he hated the non fine dining menu items, (He used to love cooking.) Maybe assisted living can provide both options???

My grandmother lived to be 93 and she never ate a steak in her life that wasn’t well done. If there was any blood, any pink at all it was called “raw” and wouldn’t eat it because the Bible said don’t eat blood. She also never ate asparagus as that was a northern vegetable. Cabbage, butter beans, snap beans, fried okra, potatoes, onions, carrots, shoe peg corn and collards and the occasional tomato and Mayo sandwich were the only vegetables she would eat. Everything else was too foreign. Trying to cook for her was a waste of time and effort. She wanted everything plain. She claimed hotdog chili was too spicy. Her ideal dinner was one crispy fried chicken wing, a handful of boiled canned green beans and a small baked potato with a little butter and a slice of bread

I would watch a show like that!

And you’d definitely lose if Mee Maw frowns at you! 😆🤣😂

There was a show called "Cook Your A** Off" that basically did this. The idea was chefs would make a 'diet plan' for someone who lived unhealthy and present a meal to them. And inevitably the person who tried it was always like "Yeah I don't like these green things and why are there capers? I don't like capers. Mushrooms are dirty." But they always tried to make it fancy despite the person always being a rushed dude or someone with not enough time to cook.

Well there’s Baking It hosted by Maya Rudolph and the guy from Brooklyn 99, judged by 4 Grandma’s. It’s a Christmas themed Baking show that came out in December. Oh and there’s singing. It’s kind of wild.

😂 so true

He was probably told the basics like salt and ketchup would be added, but not told about the quantities.

@@HariSeldon913 Or maybe he didn't believe them.

My chef husband felt chef Jonathan’s pain. When we had a restaurant, years ago, this was what we went through.

😂

Probably having flashbacks to his worst customers.

It was painful to watch such excellent food, be turned into Not edible food. Ketchup on a great {any kind of food’ .......... .. NOOOOOOOOO‼️ I have relatives and some friends who are like these ‘judges’!! 😆😂🤣 The professional chef 👍👍👏👏😆😆, he really looked as if he was going to cry.

The ketchup got me! When she squirted ketchup on her steak I could see my dad doing the same thing. You can’t take my folks anywhere, they like their steak thin, and cooked until it curls up!

I was in a semi-fancy restaurant once. And the food was soooo good. Like 1st class let me tell ya.

Yes , I agree 1,000 % ...... & it's also 1,000 % Accurate & on point in Today's World ..... which is exactly why I got out of the industry & I wouldn't return if my life depended on it

You understand that this is a skit. Thank you for helping me continue to live. The other comments however...

My boyfriend is a chef and he laughed his butt off at this skit, including his soul getting hurt by ketchup being put on everything. I also got a 10 min explanation of the black pepper sauce used on the steak

That used to be me with my family. I don't try anything too fancy now, or if I do I am promptly reminded of their food preferences.

Yup, mine went about the same. Mom asked "how am I supposed to eat this?" I had to be a smartass & say "well usually people spear a small bit with their fork, then put that bit in their mouth and chew on it until..." aaand about that time I noticed the glare I was getting😅😅

@@lisarenee3505 😂

Hee hee hee

I take my folks to a fine restaurant, and they sent back the prime rib because it wasn’t well done, put their vegetable medley on the side dish so it didn’t touch their food, and smothered their steak with A-1 sauce. The waiter and I just laughed, he assured me it was nothing new. Mom was thrilled that she got to eat somewhere that didn’t have a drive through.

Agree 🤣

It's me! I'm always on KZfaq!

Yep! I didn't get the notification but saw it just now and earlier than usual lol

Steak au pua (French for steak with pepper) is absolutely fantastic probably my favorite dish and really easy honestly

It doesn't look done.

@@doughesson 😂 it’s not supposed to look done. It’s cooked medium rare. I prefer my steak medium, but this looks great. I would definitely need ketchup to eat a well done steak.

The secret to good asparagus: ranch dressing!

I actually like asparagus. It's odd, since I don't care for greens, and worse, don't like stems. That said, It makes me pee smell. It also interfere with certain drug testing.

stuffy waiters are irritating. they're there to take your order, not comment on it.

Sharing the steak is very unusual, not at all intuitive unless that's advertised boldly on the menu or storefront. Granted, we usually order a couple things and share it. But anywhere else we sometimes get funny looks for it. Definitely not expected etiquette.

@@BonaparteBardithion The menu actually indicates "steak for 2", "steak for 4", etc. and the steaks are HUGE

All that salt and ketchup and I doubt you could taste whatever was actually presented. It could be raw squid and it would still taste like salty ketchup.

Off! With their head!

Who's Rob Espierre? Doesn't he anchor the news down in Dothaaaaan Alabama?

@@doughesson he was a french revolutionary

@@hellobruh4209 This joke WHOOSH! Your Head

it’s not complicated palate or being a a snob, it’s simply being open to trying other foods

There is a value in a certain amount of presentation. Breakfast cereals don't need to be all kinds of bright colors either, but it looks better than a uniform corn flour color. Pancakes taste the same however you shape them, but it's still fun to conjoin them into a Micky Mouse shape and draw a face with toppings. As for fancy food, presentation and service are half the reason for eating out. No food is worth high end-prices by itself, especially in the portions fine dining tends to give.

@@diegoskitchenlab6824 that's true but to be fair a lot of those cooking shows have the chefs only cook steak medium rare and that isn't to everyone's taste. I can sympathize with that, but putting it in the microwave instead of on a grill was wrong. I am personally more of a medium well girl and to me the medium rare doesn't look appetizing. I realize I might be in the minority, but other than that, his food looked pretty good. I think it is funny because a lot of those cooking show judges don't often represent what regular people think or like a lot of times. I am not sure I would say it is fish sticks and crinkle fries, but sometimes they seem a bit over the top and not everyone likes things with truffle sauce and whatnot.

You say stuffy food snob like it's a bad thing.

@@JadeStrawberry Those people annoy me! I knew a guy who was legit allergic to MSG, luckily he was a farmer so he was able to source most of his own food, still, he had to watch what he ate since many companies will break MSG down to its components to hide it on the ingredient label.
