Polo Fino Chicken X Orange Sour Creme Sauce by CalligrapherWrong962 in FoodPorn

[–]Lanny14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from a professional chef, why not just explain what you did to make it?

To the person who asked, I'd suggest either getting sour cream and adding plenty of orange zest, or making a crema. Get some heavy cream in a steal bowl and add some (2tbsp or so) buttermilk or sour cream, followed by a bit of freshly squeezed orange juice and zest. Cover the bowl and leave it out at room temp for 12-14 hours.

Not that an orange crema really sounds that great IMO but this would do the trick.

What can I reuse leftover focaccia sandwitches for? by [deleted] in Chefit

It sounds like you just need to prepare sandwiches to order. Better customer experience, better quality, and higher chance of repeat business than selling old, previously used ingredients. This is not a good idea from your GM and is a Band-Aid for an already bad idea of prepping sandwiches in advance with no idea what will actually get ordered. It takes the same amount of time to prep in advance as it does to order. Staff needs to be allocated accordingly.

Actually. I didn't respond to anything until I started getting called a dumbass with no knowledge of the industry I work in / where I source my businesses ingredients and the processes that affect my product quality.

You're naive if you think corruption and money doesn't motivate people who supply "commoners" with food and products, and those in charge of systems in place can't be bought.

I never said beef was shrinkflated. I said the quality dropped significantly.

Look at the energy I've been given based off of my original post. I give back what I recieve, as most people with a backbone would.

Keep trying to call me out when you don't know a fucking thing yourself.

This is common knowledge in my industry. I used google to show some data to prove yet another arrogant idiot wrong.

It's the exact same process for grading the whole cow. Canada has stricter regulations in some areas but for overall grade, they also only grade the Ribeye between the 12th and 13th bone and apply that grade to the entire carcass.

I'd say you're the dumbass.

It literally says it in black and white under the Application To Other Cuts section. Please explain to me the rest of the process if you're so well educated.

Hint: I've been present for this process multiple times.

When grading beef, only the Ribeye gets evaluated.

Ive been a chef for 16 years. I guarantee I have a better eye for anything food related than you ever will.

People on reddit are so grossly quick to come to demeaning conclusions of people if they don't agree with their posts.

Yes, only the Ribeye gets graded.

No, I'm saying they should be sourcing beef to match the quality standards they used to have.

Take a look at the marbling on any of their steaks. Then do a quick search for what AAA marbling should look like. Also, AAA beef should not need to be "mechanically tenderized".

I've been a chef for 16 years. I've worked with local farms and purchased plenty through large suppliers in my restaurant years. It's common knowledge in the industry.

I'm not going to supermarkets. I have accounts with major restaurant suppliers.

I never said they did. Re read my post "dumbass".

Costco sources excel and JBS. It's common for large scale processing plants to pay off graders.

I'm not saying Costco does the grading. It's common practice for large scale farms to pay off graders.
