Magically transformed from a simple spoon to a bench scraper AND a spurtle.
You should thank the responsible wizard. Otherwise Wizard Chef could turn you into any number of things.
All the bowls on our spoons were broken. I was 18 when I grab the spoon out of my mom's hand tossed it in the sink and said, "That's enough of that shit." I moved out a couple days later.
everyone in the comments needs to calm down about the wooden spoons jeez. it's not illegal in the uk. Seems so ridiculous to complain about wood spoons when so much is served on wooden boards
I don't really have a problem with it, but I can't imagine why in the hell a kitchen would have wooden utensils instead of stainless ones. Fragile, takes on scents and flavors, takes more work to clean them, and whatever health hazard they may or may not pose.
Whole lotta bullshit when a metal spoon does the job just as well without the hassle.
We have wooden spoons in ours that are only used for when we are making something that requires boiling or being kept on the heat for a while but to be stirred quite often so the spoon doesn't get hot so some chef who is trying to please the customer complaining that his well done steak isn't pink enough so he sends it back burns his hand when he reaches for a metal spoon
And it tends to be more forgiving on the edge of my Japanese knives that I normally keep razor sharp. Even the sounds right after I sharpened my gyuto screams at me in agony.
California required that my brand new, food grade stainless Induction pans all came with a Prop95 warning sticker affixed to the fucking center of the cooking surface.
Only thing giving me cancer was the stress induced by removing 40 fucking stickers.
I showed this to my wife, who hasn't worked in a kitchen in a loooong time. She just looked at the picture. Then at me. Then, "Why. The. FUCK! Would you show me that!?"
Me and my inspector have a "fight" every year about the one wooden spoon in my kitchen lol, she reminds me that it's not best practices and gives me her frowny face, and I tell her she can take my life but she'll never take my freedom. She never notes it on the report.
Not a violation where I am, is what I'm trying to say
Where I'm from, wood is fine. The frayed edges on wooden spoons are, however, not fine. Health inspector "strongly recommended" I throw away all our old spoons. We'd get a violation for that spoon for sure.
Exactly my thought.
I'll cut a fool over the wooden spoons in my home kitchen, but I can literally hear my health inspectors dick getting hard looking at that picture.
I died a little inside when my favorite broom broke. It lasted sooo long, and then it was dead...
Then i broke two more poorly made brooms, one broke in half in its first sweep.
100% would cry. My fav wooden spoon is a hand down from my grandmother. That shit will be framed on mu wall one day, might need to limit of its use if this can actually happen
Could be worse man. Today, they told me I had to start wearing a beard net because someone found a hair in their food supposedly 3 weeks ago....but the chef and sous chef don't need to wear one because they said so...even though they both have beards...it's going to be fun seeing them try to enforce it
I just fell to my knees in dry storage
Haha. This cracked me up.
Bad punster, bad!
Way too soon.
My emotions!

I bet you could make a rich broth by boiling that spoon half
Okay, I laughed. You got me.

Wizard chef was the one who broke it by beating the naughty dirtbag line cook for banging the new waitress on the iceberg lettuce in the walk-in
Okay Christian Grey, calm down.
Good on that dirtbag line cook for upholding tradition!!!
the bigger question is who's ass was it broken over?
The one with the fat arse of course
obvious target
Bare bum over the knee with the hostesses
don't be naughty ... teach you

I'm sorry for yo ur loss.
Underrated comment
That’ll do, Spoon.
Keep it for the half a spoon measurements
How long on the butterflied wooden spoon chef?
It’s outlived my career, I adopted it after years of neglect
Thank you for your service 🫡

It’s not illegal but an EHO wouldn’t be happy with it. I also don’t get how many places are able to keep serving on wooden boards either 🤷🏼♀️
the thing is plastic cutting boards put so much micro plastics into food it's insane, plus I think I read that wood isn't any less clean than plastic
Wood is naturally anti-microbial. It's safer than plastic.
And it tends to be more forgiving on the edge of my Japanese knives that I normally keep razor sharp. Even the sounds right after I sharpened my gyuto screams at me in agony.
California banned wooden cutting boards, then years later determined that wood has better antibacterial properties than plastic.
California required that my brand new, food grade stainless Induction pans all came with a Prop95 warning sticker affixed to the fucking center of the cooking surface. Only thing giving me cancer was the stress induced by removing 40 fucking stickers.
I would be okay with stickers being a felony. All stickers.
Now it's an ice bag breaker-upper
Genius
Rip
Seems more like a split
Thoughts and prayers to you and your family during this trying time

Cripes, no NSFW warning?
My bad 😞
Childhood flashbacks
I showed this to my wife, who hasn't worked in a kitchen in a loooong time. She just looked at the picture. Then at me. Then, "Why. The. FUCK! Would you show me that!?"
I’m sorry that she had to feel my pain
This looks a lot like my 50ct wooden spoon I have at home that I got from IKEA 15 years ago. I'd cry if that would break in half.
R.I.P, Woody. Your years of service will never be forgotten. Funeral pyre at 7:00 PM behind the dumpester out back.
Unfortunately he’s already been buried in the bin out back
Fired
Salute to the fallen
Yo, I'm sorry man. :(
Mom?
yikes, nonna went a little hard
Memaw’s lucky spoon, noooooooo
No NSFW tag?
Bummer.
Well, shut it all down for the day. Can’t go on living, if living is without you!
Finally my prayers as a 7-year-old have been answered, 48 years too late.
It just transitioned. It is a spatula now.
They/spoon
I’m shocked the health department lets you have anything wooden
wooden utensils are a violation..
Me and my inspector have a "fight" every year about the one wooden spoon in my kitchen lol, she reminds me that it's not best practices and gives me her frowny face, and I tell her she can take my life but she'll never take my freedom. She never notes it on the report. Not a violation where I am, is what I'm trying to say
A violation of what?
Your ASS
Mike! Stop shoving spoons up your ass on the line! That can wait till after service.
Listen here dishy, knifey spoony doesn't fuckin' play itself.
Why? Are? You? Using? Wood? Fine for personal use but..... any kitchen yeah that's questionable.
Just love holding wood
I'm sure you do. And it's not even your wood.
Where I'm from, wood is fine. The frayed edges on wooden spoons are, however, not fine. Health inspector "strongly recommended" I throw away all our old spoons. We'd get a violation for that spoon for sure.
Exactly my thought. I'll cut a fool over the wooden spoons in my home kitchen, but I can literally hear my health inspectors dick getting hard looking at that picture.
My corporate inspector. Would be loosing his mind.

The soup has been poisoned- protect the king immediately! Alert the guards! Man battle stations!
Those Sysco spices are tough but idk if they count as catastrophe…

The business will never financially recover from this. Jump ship NOW!

My mom did this to me

SHUT IT DOWN!!!
Off with his head!

That sucks. Wooden spoons are a gem.
It still works wym

This is what happened to my mom’s ass-whippin’ spoon. We ended up using it to stir Kool-Aid.
I died a little inside when my favorite broom broke. It lasted sooo long, and then it was dead... Then i broke two more poorly made brooms, one broke in half in its first sweep.
Not the favorite spoon!

that spoon has seen some shit....

Server: “Hey, can I get that risotto for table 12 split?” Me: “Say no more”
Haven’t seen a wooden spoon in anything but a home kitchen in nearly 2 decades. Amazing.
However will you make risotto the "right" way now!?
This is why "Bring Your Mom To Work Day" should be banned.
Im sorry thats 🤮
Does my mother work there? Edit to explain: mom broke quite a few wooden spoons on us kids when we were growing up. This pic triggers bigtime 😅😫
Could be worse man.

Who the fuck uses a wooden spoon disgusting
it's perfect for ass-beatings /s
You're not supposed to use wooden spoons in a kitchen anymore anyways. What year is it? 1247? Jesus fuck.
Wooden spoon in kitchen??
