What is the point of tapping your knife? Is it just to look epic while someone is filming you?

I've heard that people who cut meat in front of the customers do it as a way to get people to watch the knife. I doubt there's any real practical purpose to it.

its for 'spatial calibration' or something. its like a reset. someone explained it properly on here before, but I did the same kind of thing working cash at mcdonalds. there was a spot on the screen that everyone would tap inbetween punching in different menu items.

I do it for like, a rhythm, timing thing. Chef always bitches that I'm wearing out my knife, I always tell him that it's my fucking knife I fucking bought with my fucking money and he can go fuck himself. I don't know what it is about cooking that turns people into raging autists.

as a cook its all about rhythm. like theres certain things i do that dont make practical sense but help set my rhythm. i bob when im doing my prep to help keep a consistent pace and then when im working service on the line its literally dancing. those tong clicks, the quick little pan flip when you pull it onto a burner, those foot spin moves, those dramatic seasoning drags are all apart of the dance its keeping my rhythm.

that's the way it's supposed to be anyway

It's not dancingx it's more like tiny little movements or gestures to get yourself ready. Like folks who clap a few times in the middle of playing a sports game, or the leg or foot taps to center oneself. Small little tricks that probably don't matter, but we do them anyway because it's harmless.
