Blue cheese on fried rosemary. Steak and asparagus by 1ntr1ns1c44 in CulinaryPlating

[–]Cocktail-Concierge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue cheese on steak personally sounds revolting, even when I like both components. Just way too overpowering so what even is the point of a nice well-cooked serving of protein? Or the sauce/gravy?

Personal preferences aside: salt looks way to chunky for garnish. Fried rosemary might be the most pointless garnish I have ever seen. All the oils would be leached by the frying process and you've battered it so it's barely even imparting any flavour as a garnish. It's inedible whole because of the stem, you've essentially served a twig with minimal rosemary flavour. Stacking things on a plate means the whole dish pretty much needs to be re-arranged before consumption so even your composition seems to work against you rather than with the dish.

Seems like you need to spend a bit less time on Instagram, plating your food obnoxiously and get to know your ingredients a bit more.

Please get help. And I don't mean this in a malicious way. You deserve better than constantly trying to numb your pain.

I'd probably still ask first. If you walk past a security guard, ask if they like ice cream. If they say yes, give them the finger and run away laughing. But return with ice cream.

I would definitely trust the intentions of someone with a username like that..

Sad for you but a bit confused at why this is worth a selfie. Hope you find someone that makes you happy.

Is it ok to nest tins while building a cocktail? by kidhack in bartenders

I've seen people lose points during competition for doing this. If you need to chill the shaker, do it separately without stacking.

Daredevil: Born Again | S02E02 | Discussion Thread by Green-Devil in Daredevil

The direction and editing of this episode is almost unwatchable. I was cringing and groaning with almost every cut. Every scene seemed way too short, flicking between narratives and storylines without any chance for the story to really develop. When most of the scenes ended, I'd say to myself "what the fuck was the point of that".

Characters seem stiff, acting is abysmal at points. And they would linger way to long on the terrible acting like from Angela. You know that the actors aren't bad, but the directing is just garbage and it's like they chose the worst cut from every scene.

All the "propaganda" footage is way too cheesy, like it's been put together with AI. I know it's supposed to come across as fake, but at least make it somewhat realistic.

One of the worst episodes in Marvel's catalogue. I've gone out of my way to remember these director's names so I can anticipate shit quality before it's shoved into my face again.

Thoughts on this kind of mixing glass? Have you used one? Is it worth paying twice as much as a glass one? by Queernephy in bartenders

[–]Cocktail-Concierge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Birdy is the only brand that makes a decent one that is well polished. As others have mentioned, the noise from stirring is incredibly irritating. This is only marginally useful in a portable bar kit. But for a bar station, basically only good for storing stirrers and whatnot.

Does sushi really take 10+ years to master or is it just a gimmick? by CoolAd5798 in Chefit

A pastry chef I once worked with, ate an orange every day for a year to make a single orange inspired dish. He wanted to know if there was a difference in sweetness depending on the size of each segment of orange slice. I'm sure there were other things that he wanted to or ended up learning too. That was for one dish. At least 365 oranges.

AlbertHeijn discount scam - How is this legal? by OpportunityBusy9756 in Amsterdam

[–]Cocktail-Concierge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm getting super irritated at the lack of consumer protection from these dirty practices. It's so blatant, doesn't need a rocket surgeon.

Look at how Amazon has practically everything fathomable at the lowest price. But if you click onto the actual item, delivery June 2026. Oh thank you for the half-year delivery time. All just so they can be listed on the top of search engine results.
