"I'm a huge fan of the Kitchen Confidential subreddit and have been since I first read Anthony Bourdain's book of the same name back in 2013. The community is full of snarky line cooks, stressed-out front-of-house staff, and dishwashers quietly holding the whole operation together (much like they do in real life). If you scroll Reddit often, you might be familiar with this subreddit because of its surge in popularity"
"when a user called F1exican started posting a pile of cut chives every day until the subreddit deemed them perfect. (It finally happened a few weeks ago, technically after 69 days, because of course it did.) There were cats. There were brand controversies. There were endless hand-drawn planes and hearts. It was maybe my favorite internet phenomenon since Vine was still a thing."
The Kitchen Confidential subreddit experienced a viral phase driven by a user posting daily piles of cut chives until a perfect pile was achieved after 69 days. The subreddit community includes snarky line cooks, stressed front-of-house staff, and dishwashers who keep operations together, and hosted cats, brand controversies, and hand-drawn planes and hearts during the meme surge. Paris Hilton-branded cookware became a new meme, prompting the acquisition of a knife block and nonstick pots and pans for evaluation. Personal admiration for Paris Hilton is expressed, but the Paris Hilton knife block is judged unsatisfactory while a cleaver remained out of stock.
