I know a few chefs and/or bartenders and…they all taste the things they make because they have to. How can you possibly know it’s correct if you don’t taste it. It’s not like they’re eating off every plate or checking every drink but if I was a restaurant owner I would want to know that my employees are only sending things out that are correct. If they send out bad food that’s a customer gone forever, and possibly many more if that customer tells their friends or leaves a bad review. I know a restaurant owner too and he runs the window and he checks things before they go out for this exact reason.

I would absolutely never eat at a place where the staff isn’t tasting what’s going out to tables
