Odor in aft galley. Flight attendants reported metallic smell in galley after pushback back from gate. Check galley and lavatory extensively for location of smell. Pilots returned to the gate immediately. Passengers deplaned aircraft; fire crew was called to assess. No additional information.
After doing the demo; I walked into the rear galley. I immediately smelled an intense metal burning smell. I removed my mask and asked the C FA if he smelled it too. He pulled his down and said he did. Pilots announced FA's to be seated. I called the A and said call the pilot and tell them to not take off because of the smell. C FA and I began touching all the surfaces to find any hot spots. He checked the lavs. Called pilots and told them the smell was the strongest from ovens. He said we were going back to the gate and deplaning. Pilot made PA at arrival to gate we were deplaning to take their belongings due to unusual smell. Non rev pilot came to the back and said he smelled it too. Fire dept met plane. After deplaning fire dept came on board and said they also smelled it. Capt also smelled it. Mx was called. Mx did not seem to believe us at first and did not smell anything. Later after hours of them being on the plane another mx worker said he smelled it and that it got stronger at different times.Mx to take people more seriously and try not to talk down to people
