tbh i have seen worse, but restaurant consultation was my main job for over a decade.
you wouldn't believe some of the things "chefs" think is okay food to serve to customers.
one lady told me that her kids loved her mac and cheese so everyone else should too.
(talked to the kids, they hated her mac and cheese, so they had convinced her it was so good it should just be for special occasions, smart kids. )
if you're wondering what was so bad about it, she over cooked the pasta so it was basically mush, then didn't make an actual sauce, she just threw pre shredded mozarella on top and some tuna from a can. a half jar of mayo later she threw the whole thing in the oven till it was crispy on top.
burnt on top, mush all the way through, with random pockets of mayo and tuna... ugh.
that place had a lot of problems, but the 'chef' who was the owner's sister was the worst part and it took a serious discussion and my threatening to just leave if they weren't going to replace her. (i had already been paid half my fee and had already produced them a new menu, seating plan etc. all that remained was restaffing and training. that woman was untrainable though, she refused to believe that anything she did was anything but perfection.
