My brother was a chef for 20-something years, and he said it gave him Thomas Keller PTSD vibes

Think weāve chatted about this before. I have two good friends who are former chefs. Neither worked for Keller, but both of them were in some pretty high end kitchens and have some ugly stories. Theyāre so happy they arenāt cooking for a living anymore.

I have seen some BTS stuff on The Menu, and one of the things they did was only to cast actors for the kitchen who had experience working in food service. Probably not that big of a challenge in LA, but Iām sure it helped not to have to explain what a fucking nightmare that job is.

My favorite Keller story was when he magically appeared in the kitchen on a Sat/Sunday, manifested himself over by brotherās shoulder and whispered āshow me all of the quiche that you haveā in like the most creepy voice possible.
Every time they yelled āYes, Chef!ā he said he jumped off the couch a bit.

I finally watched Downfall and boy was it heavy. I started it on Saturday night and had to stop halfway through and start again on Sunday night. Very intense and very interesting.

Iāve heard that some of the subtitles are a little suspect.

Didnāt know that. I thought there were scenes where one of the actors said a lot more than the subtitles translated, but I donāt speak German so can only guess. I do mostly speak Spanish and have found the subtitles on Spanish language shows often generalize whatās being said and a lot of nuance is lost.

Sorry, just kidding. I was referring to how the bunker scene gets resubtitled to fit someoneās rant.
