“YTA 100%. You think people are *born* chefs? No. They learn from restaurants exactly like Applebee’s. They don’t begin their career in restaurants with Michelin stars. Not only are you the AH, you appear ignorant of the learning process. As a result, I’m curious what it is *you* do.”

YTA – Cooking secrets at Applebee’s?

“YTA. Janto probably knows he’s working a shit job”
