Crispy skin salmon belly with a ginger chili lime juice sauce. All stuff I had in the fridge.
And thats just the small pans.
Saw a post about disfigured pans still in use. This is for yall.
Stinky cheeses, berries, kiwis. Dad says she should start a charcuterie business. What you think?
My exc. chef and I play this game where he’ll give me a term I don’t know and I come back the next day and tell him what it means. I’ve been ✨killing✨ it until today when I forgot the word. 🙈
Please help me reverse engineer it and figure it out!!
It starts with a P and ends in the “ssage” sound. We were making lobster stock and he said “Tomorrow, we’re gonna make ‘p***ssage’ with this.” And then told me to look it up.
Someone please help 😭
Edit: It’s not passage. I would have remembered that.

Okay so I’m not a big activist at all. I fact I don’t go bluntly speaking of things I’m not participating in even if my tax dollars are. Do I have responsibility for what’s going on in Ukraine and Russia? In a sense yes in a moral value type of way? No because I’m your fellow piece of shit person that just wants to cook good food for people that need it and unfortunately right now for people that can pitch in but soon I’ll become philanthropic.
With this said, this is so sad. Also it is the responsibility of the world Kitchen to run background and FBI checks on their volunteers. If Israel is right and there was a terrorist amongst their volunteers, it negligently lost seven lives back in April and and now once again. It is partly responsibility of the chairman involved with the World Kitchen. Also I have so much to say to Israel after their first mistake trying to target the world kitchen. I’m not ready to start conspiracy whether they are targeting the kitchen itself or just one volunteer but Israel and The World Kitchen are responsible and negligent for allowing a second time to happen. To the ones lost, may your Chef Knives aid the Great Chef in stopping world hunger and deliver more food in times like these. What can we do?
I haven't had to buy any new kitchen gear in over a decade but I'd like to get a new chefs knife for home. I'd like something of decent quality with a rustic look for around $50. I've found a lot of knifes but like I said it's been a long time since I bought anything and idk which shops/brands are good and which are overpriced and just look pretty.
So I was a chef for years and was pretty good at it. But I never have been able to peel hard cooked eggs without destroying them.
What's a common/simple things that we do regularly in the kitchen that you just stick at even though you're may be good at everything else?
I'm a med student wanting to take their long form classes. The 12 week or the Ritz's beginner, intermediate and advanced courses. Which school is better? I've also looked at Ferrandi and Cordon Bleu
End goal is just to be a better chef for myself mostly. I'm a beginner. I would much prefer to live in Paris, but I'm open to hearing chef's expertise and advice
So they used 2 12 inch.
We love this lol!
Will this be a problem during inspection?
Then my head chef spreads it by hand. Couldn't resist
I started this job 4 months ago and the place is infested with german roaches, which I know are hard to get rid of. We’re open 24 hours/365 days a year so idk if they have exterminators show up because there are always customers in the place.
Its gotten so bad that the other day I was prepping food and a fully grown roach ran across the fucking food and over my hand. They make me sick to my stomach.
I’m also lowkey traumatized from living in an apartment infested with them and I’m SO scared of bringing them home with me.
I try to kill them or spray them with chemicals whenever I see one but if they see me coming they hide behind the appliances. On Thanksgiving I deepcleaned the entire FOH and BOH with chemicals and even washed the fucking walls and after that I saw more roaches than ever.
Wtf should I do?
Like my guys are showing up sick AF because management threatened to fire them for calling out sick. Edit I sent the two guys home and just had to battle the gm about it via email
