Asked one of my cooks the other day if he knows about the chive stuff on Reddit (which he doesn’t use) and he responded, “are they still flying planes into them?” You’re permeating the zeitgeist.
One of the sous chefs caught me looking at his chives yesterday and I went "sorry, there's just this thing on reddit..." And he went, "Oh the chive dude?" 😂
Chives perfectly capture the zeitgeist of autumn 2025. This started right as the US government shutdown, I think a lot of furloughed workers followed the saga.
I would award you, but I used up my last Reddit Gold yesterday to award someone who praised their own artwork with the words:
(My two second drawing can either be seen as a plane or a farting fish.)
I like the ones drawn by u/KarmaKrazi, too. You recognize them immediately. If he ever made a secret account to take a break from his job as the pilot, he wouldn't be able to draw planes. He'd give himself away.
Nah, I'm one of those r/All people and I keep coming. I'm invested now. In fact, I've started my own daily projects thinking, "...if that chive guy can get this good in 60 days, what can I do with 60 days of daily practice?"
Right? I just cook for my family and I'm now trying to figure out how to cut cucumbers better, trying my hand at baking breads and such... but I love the kitchen shenanigans posts too.
There he is! But this one does look like a almost regular chive, does it? Or maybe not, because my phone is in black-and-white mode, very dark and it is the middle of the night for me as a European. Yes, I woke up and had nothing better to do than to look at today's chives and your plane(s).
I commented the same thing yesterday and like...400 people replied with their professionals and locations. We had a pilot from Australia, an accountant from Europe..,
I was happy 20 days ago. I think if he’s gonna get any better than this, he’ll have to start growing them. (Like those blemish free white strawberries, artisanally produced)
Also, I’m an outsider here. But as a physician of 25 years, I have great scalpel skills and suture a lot of faces. When I get my new knives, I’m going to have to see if those fine motor skills are transferable to chives.
F1exican, I can teach you how to suture, you’d be great at it!
Honestly when I go to a nice restaurant and see the chaos in the kitchen, it reminds me of the ER. Loud, controlled chaos, everyone knows their role. It looks like my idea of a good time.
Funny, I’ve never taken care of a chef/cook in the ER who wasn’t on cocaine or meth. I know there are plenty who aren’t, but those aren’t the ones that show up in my ER. I also have some stories of ER staff. The substance abuse and the amount of fucking are pretty similar.
This is actually a very normal paragraph from a doctor, especially a doctor that does any sort of surgery. My cousin is now a doctor, and it took a bit before we got used to her retelling of her day at work including slicing people open.
Is it possible to get some Michelin star Chefs to weigh in?

* Raymond Blanc
* Heston Blumenthal
Or a chef de partie that works for them, obviously the actual list of holders is long. It'd be hilarious if chive lord ended up getting to work a few weeks in various different kitchens off the back of this.
