The Cheesecake Factory "The New Guy" (2016) :30 (USA)

In this episode of The Cheesecake Factory's new animated campaign, The Kitchen Speaks, a new guy shows up-- in this case a grater with zero experience who announces himself with all the arrogance of a millennial with a trust fund: "I'm an artisanal tool through internships I've mastered in Brooklyn, Portland and another small city you've probably never heard of it..."
Thankfully, the other employees are having none of it and tell him to get to work on those web banners, I mean grating limes. Yeah, that's what I meant. Limes.
Over 250 dishes made fresh every day. Just go ahead and assume the grater's not giving it 100% though.
