I saw the first robin of the season this past Saturday. SWVA. Spring is here, even if the weather is all over the place.

Reply to No, Chef! Richmond may have an acclaimed dining scene, but it suffers the same toxic workplace issues as the big cities. by eyes_wide_open19

As a child of the industry and having lived in many places and been raised in many restaurants, I can say with confidence that the unpleasant atmosphere of both back and front of house is endemic to the food industry. Not just in the restaurants themselves but in the suppliers as well. And no, I don't know how to fix it. Like all things it starts with management and pay scales. But people have to want to change and as far as I know, no one in management wants to.
