Does every kitchen really have bugs? What happens to all that extra table bread? And do servers actually hate it when you ask for substitutions? If you think recipes are the only secrets chefs have been keeping from us, think again! Food Network conducted an anonymous survey among professional chefs across the country and convinced them to share dozens of secrets they'll never tell their secret Chefs reveal their 25 best-kept secrets advertisement Here are 10 that we think you need to know: 1. Picky eaters are a pain Want the chicken marsala with peas instead of mushrooms? Hope you also want an annoyed chef, because according to the survey, over 60 percent of chefs said they find substitutions irritating. 2. Pass the bread, please ... to another table Three chefs admitted that uneaten, but possibly handled, bread removed from one table may makes its way to a new table at their restaurants. 3. The 5-second rule You know that unwritten rule that states if you drop food on the floor, it's still OK to eat if you pick it up within five seconds? Well, chefs know it, too, and 25 percent of them said they actually follow it. Good thing we discovered the rule checks out! Bobby Flay: There's no 5-second rule in MY kitchen advertisement 4. What not to order When dining out, most chefs avoid pasta and chicken dishes because they're the "most overpriced" and the "least interesting" options on the menu. 5.
