When I’m not there to hold everyone’s fucking hand.
Apparently this is a baked ziti with sweet Italian sausage. And I’m supposed to pull of a 200 person, 4-course fancy dinner with these fucking hacks 3 weeks from now.

When you’re not there to hold their hand, they cut up a bunch of surgical tubing and put it in the oven?
Strange… just find the person with the latex kink, and problem solved!

The worst gut punch I ever got is when my F&B told me, “you’re only as good as your team when you’re not there,” after I tried to take my only day off for that month and my team tanked an easy 125 person banquet

This looks like what you’d get if you decided to re-purpose baked ziti from one buffet to another.
“Dude just scrape the half pans into a foil pan as they come back to the kitchen. We’ll wrap it all up at the end of the night and then re-heat tomorrow without doctoring it at all…and make sure you put it in cold and unwrapped. It’ll be great. Nobody will notice”

Duuuuuuude! I’ve been there. It’s beyond frustrating to have a staff that doesn’t GAF. I actually quit a job and took a pay cut to get away from a staff of idiots that I “inherited”, and (because of California labor laws and corporate BS) I couldn’t fire. After a year of carrying those idiots, I actually had to go on blood pressure meds.
You have all my empathy and sympathy.

My restaurant experience is limited to just a few summers working expo, but god damn what the fuck is this. This looks like the kinda shit I’d make stoned in college.

Jesus Christ. I’d be embarrassed.

Family meal looks on point.

Idk…”fancy” doesn’t usually mean a casserole. Certainly not one in a disposable aluminum pan. There’s only so far you can go elevating baked ziti. For what it is, this doesn’t look THAT bad. Needs cheese on top for sure.

Cook it off and serve it as a family meal.

It is a sad conundrum that most line cooks can barely afford to eat the most basic of foods on their own time. In addition to the fact that the last thing you want to do on your own time is cook , when that is all you have been doing for the last 40-60 hours. Yet they are responsible for preparing high-end cuisine that they rarely can actually fully enjoy themselves.

Bro, I’m fucking sorry. I’ve cooked better with a whole bottle of whiskey in me when I used to drink. This is inexcusable. Do these guys have any experience whatsoever? It seems crazy that this could be done by someone with even a month of experience. I’m sad for you.

Fuck no. This is staff food on a very stressful day.

For about 5 seconds I thought it was loaded fries and looked good

You there is someone that would say, scrape the top layer off, add some cheese and a jar of sauce (not the names brand, but the kind from the food stamp store) and no one will know.
