So the former restaurant I worked at, Iron Cactus, is being sued for having the servers/bartenders tip out kitchen staff and food runners, which is illegal. I just joined the lawsuit.
Damn, I hope the cooks don't have to give the tips back.

Typically, a waiter tips out the bar (who makes their drinks... alcoholic and specialty drinks) and the bus boys (who clear the tables) from their tips. I think it's a percentage, so it's usually just a few bucks.
I don't know why food runners don't get tipped out and why it's illegal in this case. They're taking the food to the tables, just as a bus boy is clearing the tables.
The kitchen is making the food, so they're getting paid a regular wage (servers are paid under min wage, but make it way up in tips), so that's why they don't get tipped, or shouldn't.
In california servers make at least the state minimum wage plus tips. Every place I ever worked the kitchen staff got some sort of tip. In the country club I apprenticed in, we got a % in our check from check sales, in restaurants there was a pool at the end of the night that got distributed evenly by the kitchen manager. Never heard that it was illegal.

The celebrity chef culture is a remarkable and admittedly annoying phenomenon. Of all the professions, after all, few people are less suited to be suddenly thrown into the public eye than chefs. We're used to doing what we do in private, behind closed doors.
Once my fiance put lemon juice in the batter and it was glorious.

Not really. She basically made the pancake batter as usual, then added the lemon juice. The batter was a thicker batter than crepe batter.
I'm just messin with ya. Chef humor. It's not very funny outside the kitchen.
My wife add's orange zest oil to her waffle batter. It's weird. But my kids like it.
