A soft shell crab that the prep cook just finished, fried and made into a sandwich with chipotle aioli and pickled jalapenos. Or stealing a lobster tail that the line cook just shelled, chopped and eaten with steak and demi.
Question- But if your the chef, is it really stealing?? Or is it "quality control tasting"??

the pastry chef at my job is real cool, so I can get any desert from his station with no problem (he just asked that I ask him first.) But as far as mid-shift snacking, I've been known to snag a few scallops from the fish guy (sous chef) and I'm also notorious for stealing croutons off the salad guy's station (to be eaten with goat cheese.) and how can I forget those end pieces from the pork tenderloins???

Last Sunday I made some tomato basil sandwich rolls. They smelled so heavenly that I just had to make myself a sandwich. I grilled off some onions, peppers, ham and mushrooms, then topped it with mozzarella cheese. Heaven! My only problem was that we have to write down our meals, and I had no idea what to call it.

scale of one to ten maybe?
