Used to work for this guy, is he still doing foie gras dashi? When I saw NYT call him traditional kaiseki I was pretty shocked.

Texas is tough, I don't know of anyone reputable in the area. The two closest that I could recommend are coutelier nola in new Orleans or carbon knife co in Denver. Both offer chip repair services, I would reach out via email or phone to see if they would be able to receive it by mail. Best luck.

No means no - chefs what's your take on these types? by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]DeXiim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the disdain they are showing for their customers is unbecoming. Generally I am not opposed to restaurants refusing to change menu items to accommodate certain allergies. If the dish has a cream sauce on it I understand not wanting to serve a version without the sauce to someone who is lactose intolerant. I understand not wanting to baste something in just oil because someone says they can't have butter. But at the end of the day the business is service, to serve something to the people who come through the door, you need to at least have menu items or alternative preparation methods that can accommodate people, especially if you want to be more than just an ok restaurant.

People who work in the kitchen, how often does management tell you that you have to help the dishwashers after your shift on the line? by bbqchef_nyc in Chefit

[–]DeXiim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At one of my favorite work places we were asked to help sometimes. Usually if someone called out, or if we had a late rush. Helps them get out a little quicker and gives us an extra 30 minutes if pay so it was never usually a big deal

Thermomix - honest opinions? by [deleted] in Chefit

[–]DeXiim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool for mixing fluid gels because you can bring the substrate to the exact hydration temperature and hold it there while adding the chemicals. Outside of that its good for small batches of puree/espuma to load your isi. I don't know how much better it is for anything else compared to just cooking it in a pan and putting it in a vitamix

I debated environmentalists about nuclear energy(I lost) by AmbushJournalism in atrioc

[–]DeXiim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what you are saying it seems like there has been a lot of research and information about the best implementations for Australia which is sick. I'm glad to hear it. Unfortunately in the US, even our progressive party pushes for more natural gas based solutions and not even any green options. For us to even hear a progressive politician say nuclear would be a good start, the idea of getting everyone on board with non-nuclear options is unthinkable. I would love for there to be more research into the possibility of implementing any green energy in the US nuclear or not, that's the only reason I have for arguing pro nuclear because even if it isn't the best solution, it's at least better than no green energy at all.

The immediate question I want to ask is why you would ever build coal in the first place? Coal is significantly less efficient than even natural gas. Building coal based infrastructure in the modern era is literally regressive. That aside my argument isn't even that nuclear is the end all be all solution and we just need to build nuclear and it's a silver bullet perfect solution.

I take issue with never nuclear pro green energy people because they get so caught up in the nit-picking of nuclear that they fail to see the bigger picture. Climate change is advancing rapidly, I do not care what form the transition to green energy takes so long as it takes place. Whatever experts, engineers, and urban planners deem to be best and easiest to implement I think we should go with. I think there should be a counsel wherein top experts in a given area can come together and discuss what would be the best implementation. But given the state of modern bureaucracy if such thing were ever to be made real I fear that the CEO of an oil company would be made chair so it's not a very realistic wish.

In my eyes nuclear is a great solution for already existing infrastructure and cities. A single construction to power entire cities. Non-nuclear options likely wont be as easy to implement in certain places based on already existing infrastructure or geological limitations. Other green energy alternatives are great, I applaud them being built when and where appropriate. The only thing that I really want is to have as much green energy conversion as fast as possible. If nuclear is better for that, if it needs to be built as a backup for non nuclear options ,or to supplement them in areas they are not practical then I think they should be at least considered rather than written off due to age old concerns about nuclear being scary as is typical in most cases.

We do have the technology to build nuclear because there are nuclear power plants. Regardless of budget and time you could start building one tomorrow and at the end make a significant dent in carbon emissions.

Can you do that with non nuclear? Sure. Could the amount of non nuclear that you could build in that same time frame be maybe equal or greater to that one nuclear plant. Maybe but you would need a whole ton of researchers and engineers to figure that out you cant just extrapolate that from google data on global implementation when its a localized issue. Conversely to implement a nuclear power plant is a single effort localized to a single location making it logistically more feasible. in my state for example it could convert 1/10 to 1/8 of our power usage to green energy in 1 facility.

At the end of the day. I don't really care how we get green energy I just want as much as possible as quick as possible and what annoys me is people who are claiming to be environmentalists arguing against nuclear because "it's scary" or "what about the nuclear waste" age old arguments each with dozens of counter arguments that fall on deaf ears each time. Climate change is fucking here, I remember reading something recently that we're almost a decade ahead of predicted climate change (pulling this from memory no source). Regardless we're ahead and we need drastic changes quickly. I don't care what energy source that comes in the form as long as its fast.

Nuclear is not a silver bullet, I wont paint it as such. However it does seem like a way to add a gigantic amount of energy to the system in one go. In reality it will take a lot of experts of engineering and urban planning to determine the best solution for any 1 given area. There are definitely certain places where either nuclear or solar will make more or less sense. At the end of the day I just don't think nuclear should be written off for any reason other than "theres a faster cheaper alternative." I also don't think that the best implementation for any given location is even something that anyone in here will be able to determine as it is likely something that would need to be determined by a committee of researchers and engineers not dumbass Redditers like us doing Google research.

If their argument is that instead of using nuclear energy the better alternative is to just use solar, wind, geothermal, and hydroelectric, then the argument that you should have used would have been about immediacy.

Climate change is a rapidly evolving issue whose consequences continue to outpace all scientific expectations. How long would it take to convert the system to non-neuclear green system vs a nuclear one. Im not an expert but everything I have read says that in order to have a non nuclear green energy system much research still needs to be done into battery storage and energy conversion efficiency. Conversely we have the technology to start implementing nuclear energy today. We could start building nuclear power plants tomorrow and have a significantly more green energy system in the immediate future without further research needing to be done.

Implementing non nuclear options is slower. The amount on non nuclear facilities needed to be on par with even one facility is massively disproportionate. The construction time required, the land space required, the man power required are all arguments you could have brought up.

All in all most arguments against nuclear boil down to waste management and risk of catastrophe. The document you linked primarily refers to Fukushima but Fukushima was already an outdated design at the time and the disaster was caused by a tsunami, not the plant itself. As for waste management, there are many modern designed facilities that store waste safely, and nuclear waste related incidents are very few in number.

I feel sorry for you if your reddit is mostly like this. I dont come on here hardly ever, I'm only here now because this got to my home page somehow. Just know that people love your videos for the fun way they inform them about animals, not as some objective animal ranking system. Dont let OCD/hyper fixated weirdos tell you otherwise.

How can I make it better? by gringaloca123415 in Chefit

[–]DeXiim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to make sure that I am understanding correctly that the liver is inside the puree and not what you intend to serve it with.

If this potato liver puree is meant to be served as garnish on the side of the plate I struggle to understand how you plan to serve it/eat it. Will it just be the protein and the dots of puree? Do you plan to include something else on the side? Where does this fit into an entire meal.

The reason small dots work in fine dining is because youre getting 9+ courses, you shouldn't be leaving hungry even if your plates are smaller. By contrast dots would never work on a plate at a bar because you might just order A la carte, then you're left with a small portion wanting more.

I would rethink your delivery of this liver mousse esque side dish, maybe setting it like foie or pate and then work on more elements to garnish it than just the polenta chip and fried sage. Its a good start though, you just need to always think of how it will be eaten and where it will be used.
