A really olllld kitchen prank is to have The Chef (at a stressful point of peak business) send a rookie off running to the basement or dry storage or wherever, to secure him an immediately essential “#10 can of steam”... or, the “Parsley Curler”... or, the “Spaghetti Straightener” etc etc. Convincing and intimidating as the directive might seem, and even in the moment of urgency that it is given, it’s still amazing to me to have to send another cook after them some 30 minutes later when they have not been successful in finding it. Never gets old.
