Walked into a new prep station at a diner in Portland and saw someone peeling carrots with a paring knife

Three years later I still have that image burned in my brain because it made me realize how many shortcuts we take that actually cost more time. Has anyone else had a moment where you watched a pro do something the "wrong" way and it totally reworked your workflow?

Nah, sometimes the wrong way is the faster way if you know what you're doing.

YES! That's exactly right. I took a shortcut through a parking lot once and it saved me like 15 minutes of sitting in traffic.
