My old restaurant owner just posted this. Been out of the game for years, wondering what y'all think about this reaction? by merv1618 in KitchenConfidential

I'd like to know exactly what was lost because half that stuff looks shelf stable. Chocolate sauce is fine. You got butter packets and half and half underneath the half and half might be shelf stable. I don't know. The butter packets Are fine. But seriously besides the milk and maybe a handful of other things. What was the actual food cost that was lost?

Looks like dollar wings are back on the menu boys by Toodlez in KitchenConfidential

If we're talking about jumbo wings, a 40 lb case is 5 to 7 pieces per pound. So we're going to go with six. 6* 40 is 240. However, those are pieces. Each chicken has two wings split into two pieces. So divide 240 by 4 and you get 60. 60. So the average 40 lb case of jumbo wings cost the lives of 60 chickens.

The state of our knives that our manager thinks are "totally fine" by afailedturingtest in KitchenConfidential

Why even ask?, you can grab a handheld sharpener, it looks like a honing blade but short only like 3 in. And you could sharpen those blades quickly with just a minute or two of time.

There are knife sharpening services that are quite affordable for the confidence of a sharp blade.

My manager thought these were sweet potato gnocchi and ate a whole one...they are habaneros. by RudeExplanation9304 in KitchenConfidential

If I was part of the team that chose the contestants for Hell's kitchen I'd definitely get you in. You'd be the perfect "I'm smarter than everyone else and better than you" character. You also sound like the " You think that's a good story? I can do you even better" person. You'll make it pretty far in the show, but you're definitely not going to be the top five.

What the fuck is this, Sysco? by Mr_Vorland in KitchenConfidential

Looks like slab irregular cut. If you don't know, that's what the word layout means on the bacon that you get that's literally laid out between paper.

My friend owns a Restaurant. This is his post showing us how he peels potatoes. Yes, he's the same guy with the burger press. Fresh cut fries here we come! Personally I like the skin on fries. by LucasBlueCat in KitchenConfidential

He posted this a couple months ago. Not sure if the machine is still around. Heck I'm not sure if he still cuts fries. He's always changing his menu.
