I think I get what you mean by 'Chefs kitchen/Plumber's bathroom', but I've never heard either colloquialism before and can't find anything on Google, either. What's the origin of these terms?
- dantheman0207 9y ago"Too many chefs in the kitchen" is the first one. Not sure about the second, but probably the same kinda thing.
- elijahwright 9y agoThere is a required reference here to "Too Many Cooks". Thanks, Adult Swim!
- cpeterso 9y agoBased on the context, something like "the cobbler's children have no shoes" meaning they are too busy doing paid work for others to the same work for themselves. https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/159004/the-cobblers-children-have-no-shoes#159040 https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/159004/the-cobbl...
- lfowles 9y agoI don't think it's related to too many chef's in the kitchen. More a reference to chefs having a spotless kitchen at their day job, but a messy kitchen at home. Likewise for plumbers.
