Food service is a strange industry that attracts some of the most interesting and intense people you may ever meet. As Anthony Bourdain describes in his career-making book Kitchen Confidential, line cooks and chefs at the fanciest restaurants in the world do, ingest, and talk about some truly deranged (in a good way) things in their kitchens, fridges and back alleys.

On Reddit's /r/kitchenconfidential, named after Bourdain's book, food service workers share their gripes, jokes, and daily delights in a frank and hilarious way. So, the next time you decide not to eat the food you have at home know that the food you're eating instead has probably had a fascinating story behind it, and is made, if not with love, than at least with passion, of some kind.
