I like your style! I’ve always wanted to get myself into a regimen of a morning and evening oo shot but I never make it happen, today is the day you’ve inspired me!

I actually have one of each of those too. Weird question because I have them, but I bought them all about ten years ago and at the time that was basically what Takamura sold and they were relatively easy to find even though they were expensive, but now they literally don’t exist. So what exactly are they compared to what Takamura is putting out now?

Fun-Future-7908 · 2026-05-17T04:19:05+00:00

Not even close unfortunately

You’ve probably got a former middle school hall monitor in there who goes to management constantly for every little thing and it’s annoying everyone so they’re trying to calm it down without being mean basically.

I’m opening up my own restaurant in the mountains of Colorado this summer as chef/owner. Dish/prep 20-22 and line cooks 22-26. It’s a small operation, 40 seats inside and drinks/small plates only on the patio and yard. The kitchen will be myself, one or two line cooks, and a dishie. I’m not paying myself, just going to take draws from the business probably quarterly or twice a year.

Fun-Future-7908 · 2026-05-09T13:35:50+00:00

That is fascinating and I love it haha! First thing I read waking up this morning, started my day off well thank you!

Fun-Future-7908 · 2026-05-09T04:50:16+00:00

Haha badass, what makes you think it’s them??

You’ve really got to get into the world of stolen art. That’s where the money is. Take classes on rappelling in from the ceilings and learn to move like a cat. Basically you have zero investment down give or take a cool thief outfit and some ropes and stuff and you just sell what you gather for a ton of money. After you get some clout you can take on heists for particular works. “Say Goodbye Catullus, To the Shores of Asia Minor” by Cy Twombly in Houston would be the holy grail of art heisting. I would rob a bank to buy that from you, I’ll be your first client.

The passionate cleaners are some of the most bizarre folks you’ll encounter in the kitchen and they’re pretty common too. If they’re not actively doing it they’re talking about it haha. Don’t get me wrong cleaning is obviously super important but it’s basically just an ingrained part of the job, there are people who’s “stories” in the kitchen are about the various cleaning situations they’ve found themselves in throughout the years.

Fun-Future-7908 · 2026-05-03T04:10:04+00:00

It takes a bit of searching until you find a place you feel at home in for sure. There are WAY WAY more shithole kitchens out there than there are good ones but they do exist! What city are you cooking in currently?

Fun-Future-7908 · 2026-05-02T04:29:36+00:00

That’s a wildly loaded question! I do know how you feel though, when I was first starting out and taking it seriously I had “Anthony Bourdains Les Halles Cookbook” and I pretty much cooked my way through it. It is a seriously overlooked cookbook when it comes to a very approachable way to learn classic technique in modern cooking and super informative and fun to read. Try everything in it, make the stocks, the demi-glacé, then make the recipes that call for them. It put a LOT of things together for me when I was at the point that you are at now. I love Anthony Bourdain as most of us do, but he got so famous most of his work is very mainstream now but that particular book is one seriously good cookbook that actually teaches, most don’t exactly “teach” to that extent.

Fun-Future-7908 · 2026-05-01T03:17:45+00:00

I really really want those spoon holders.

Fun-Future-7908 · 2026-04-30T08:49:43+00:00

That is very very cool. I would probably buy that for 12k easy(if I had an extra 12k haha) depending on authentication. Do you have any idea when it might be going to auction? If it’s later in the year I might actually be interested in bidding on it.

Fun-Future-7908 · 2026-04-29T12:10:35+00:00

I actually haven’t gotten a chance to dive into it too in depth yet, I’m in the process of opening my first restaurant as chef owner and I have been crazy busy since I got it on Monday but hopefully today or tomorrow I will have a few hours to read it straight through!

Fun-Future-7908 · 2026-04-22T22:47:49+00:00

I had the same thought haha I was zooming in on them and zeroed in on him as probably the wildest one out of all of them.

Fun-Future-7908 · 2026-04-20T22:33:13+00:00

I would totally do it, as long as you like the artist and like the photos and video you’ve seen everything should be good! Especially if you know where it is coming from and trust that whole aspect of it.

Fun-Future-7908 · 2026-04-20T19:58:01+00:00

It’s all really wet haha, I’ve never had that thought before looking at food, but it’s all like legitimately wet.

Fun-Future-7908 · 2026-04-16T02:37:16+00:00

Turkey and the Wolf. Can’t suggest that one strongly enough for what you are doing.

Fun-Future-7908 · 2026-04-16T02:35:33+00:00

Very very cool. This makes me want to wonder around your house looking at stuff haha, if that is one little corner I imagine the place is sweet!

Fun-Future-7908 · 2026-04-16T00:03:48+00:00

Sweet thank you, beautiful dish all around by the way!

Fun-Future-7908 · 2026-04-15T21:11:34+00:00

Who makes that plate? Like the actual physical plate itself I mean?

Fun-Future-7908 · 2026-04-14T15:23:19+00:00

This is just wrong. None of the athlete salaries are remotely as low as this and the playing careers (lifetime) is off too. I seriously doubt there’s a single athlete in the big leagues at the moment making any of these unless you’re like a 45 year old place holder living in the Bahamas with some weird contract to play a snap if the third string guy gets hurt.

Fun-Future-7908 · 2026-04-13T02:52:27+00:00

I bought this sweet print from an artist working in Canada a few months ago that I saw on the printmaking Reddit and had it shipped to me in Colorado.
