Brfore computers/internet/pron, I was mainly a food service employee...did a stint as a busser and waiter, but found cooking to be my real calling. I worked at a lot of different restaurants and had heard horror stories at each, but had witnessed very few...most of the stories seemed to be urban legends.
I worked at the Coyote Cafe at the MGM Grand when it opened and was there almost 3 1/2 years and didn't see much that would turn me off...there was an unspoken 5 second rule with well done steaks hitting the floor...hehe
One nasty thing I did see was when i was working at Sam's Town in Laughlin, NV as a line cook and we had an egg man that went totally insane during a busy rush (we had a 49 cent eggs/bacon/sausage meal and it brought in an INSANE amount of people) and he started blowing his nose in the towels he used to wipe out his egg pans....he was fired and I became the egg man..worst fucking job ever...8 straight hours of nothing but 8 egg pans of eggs going at all time...I couldn't eat eggs for about 5 years after working 5 months at that position...to this day I can barely eat eggs...
