"Hell's Kitchen" champ Ja'Nel Witt tested positive for cocaine ... and that's why she wasn't allowed to accept the head-chef position at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant in Vegas

[Safetgiver]

Drug use is rampant in the industry. ...The same as in Medicine (Doctors). You just don’t hear about it because it is covered up.

[V K Lee]

Hmmm,
failing a drug test not near as terrible as using a racial slur? Too bad the same consideration was never given to Paula Dean.

[verga]

the cops busting the dishwasher (always at the beginning of the shift)....

But NEVER for not having a green card.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Lots of injuries in the kitchen without throwing drugs into the mix.

I would not like the guy chopping the onions to be so stoned he didn't notice his fingers were being chopped as well.

[Chickensoup]

Yes, it is. I sorta miss it. Those nights of prying bus boys off of waitresses with a crowbar in the linen closet, the cops busting the dishwasher (always at the beginning of the shift)....

I remember years ago when I ran a detox psych unit having four chefs in at once...that was one fourth of my population that week.

Those that are too stupid/stoned to do their job go quickly. Turnover in kitchens is very, very high. That tends to select for people that are very good at what they do, even if they use drugs. It's moderately controlled chaos in lots of places.

And always drama. Lots of drama.

I only have the book. I'd love the audio version. I know that Gordon hates drugs but I've wondered when he worked for the insane Marco Pierre White whether he had to use amphetamines to get through the day. White actually made Ramsey cry!

The female human species in the article still gets paid. What a bummer.

[Gefn]

I got the audio version from Audible. Super easy to download and you can listen in your computer or MP3 player. Gordon does the reading. Highly recommended,

I asked you a simple yes/no question. Beer has alcohol, Pepsi has caffeine, and cigarettes have nicotine. All drugs. If you want to give no sympathy to drug users, “let he who has not sinned cast the first stone.”

[Vaduz]

Your confused about what drugs are.

[coloradan]

I think drugs are chemicals that specifically alter certain biochemical processes. What do you think they are?

[Vaduz]

They alter the way one thinks and becomes a habit the best thing a user can do is spread legs insert head and kiss a$$ good-by their life is useless to everyone.
