Reply to comment by KimchiAndMayo in No, Chef! Richmond may have an acclaimed dining scene, but it suffers the same toxic workplace issues as the big cities. by eyes_wide_open19

I can understand that, but also think many people who aren't industry insiders would be very surprised at what kind of misconduct is permissible and commonplace in the BOH.

Which is also surprising - everyone knows someone who has worked in a restaurant, whether it’s FOH or BOH. We all talk about the bullshit we’ve endured. People know, they just don’t want to know, because then something would have to change.

I would be very surprised if the average Style Weekly reader wasn't aware of this already.

Well, I can agree with that, that people in RVA know, but they "don't want to know" or choose to look the other way bc they don't want to lose access to whatever chef they want access to so they can use that access to try to blow up their Instagram numbers. 🤔
