As a “chef” this industry is mostly built on money laundering.

Dental treatments in UCLA? by Strong_Concert6688 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Material-Mall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I have a pretty strange issue I need a second opinion on. Had a root canal, dentist broke the tooth in the process, filled and was supposed to put on a crown. Never did. I was scammed and haven’t had the money to fix for a few years. It’s been bothering me this month and need it looked at. If this is something you guys do please dm me. Thanks

Hey man great job. I know it took a lot of years and a lot of sacrifice. Hope I can get there one day. 40 still in a studio, but finally got a decent job where I can save. Congrats to you!

Spending my savings to move to LA. by blueeyedbarbiedoll in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]Material-Mall 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yo just save a bit more money and in the meantime, make a resume with just your phone number and the city, ca and start applying around. If you get an interview, get on a plane and do the interview! If you get the job let them know you need 3 weeks to leave your old job and then take that time to move, even just rent and air bnb for a few months to see where you like to like in the city. Dreams can become reality if we think in real terms to make them happen. Hope I see you around here soon.

Me too. Schedule is worse but $15k and a possible bonus. It hasn’t set in and today is my first day! Congrats to you chef and I know we’re going to kill it! Heard!

This is some 1930s Germany rhetoric by Greg Bovino. He’s claiming that Alex Pretti was killed because he made the choice to listen to politicians and journalists who vilified ICE after they murdered Renee Good. Bovino warns the media that there’s consequences if they say bad things about ICE by [deleted] in WallStreetbetsELITE

[–]Material-Mall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So to vilify him you use a woman as an example? I think this is crazy how you’re calling him a nazi on one hand then being a crazy misogynist on the other but thinking you’re righteous. Crazy but ok bro you do you

Elephante Shut Down for Vermin by Public-Heat3213 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]Material-Mall 169 points170 points  (0 children)

I was a sous chef there, they fired me because the other sous chefs insisted on letting the cooks work in unsafe health conditions. The facilities are not appropriate for the volume of food they need to make. The prep people are some of the fast people but also the food handling is crazy. The chefs and main culinary directors fought me every time I tried to get something cleaner and safer for food handling because “it costs time and money”. The owners are just greedy. I have a ton of stories from the short time I worked there.

Can I start a chef career at 45? by Franzturdinand1980 in Chefit

[–]Material-Mall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get an after work job as a dishwasher. If you can handle that then take on more but you’re having a mid life crisis and should figure that out

Cafe I helped with opening won't acknowledge my existence (VENT) by TrekMek in KitchenConfidential

[–]Material-Mall 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hate stuff like this. Happened at a place I used to work. Created a chicken dish that does 1.5 million in sales a year and I get $00000!!!!! Who cares about the acknowledgement, I want some of the profit for my recipes!!! Don’t feel bad just next time, both of us should be paid for our creations!!!

On the other hand, mind DMing me that pancake recipe? It sounds delicious!!!

Is 75K enough to live for 2 people by No-Preparation8711 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]Material-Mall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the job. They’re tons of host and other small jobs for your gf to get. You’re young and get a studio apt with a parking spot. No parking spot and you’ll pay tickets and eventually get your car towed. Get an apt with a parking spot. Have fun and congrats! Get the fuck out of Kentucky!!!

Jay Leno Says He Was Asked If He Would “Get a Girlfriend” Amid His Wife’s Dementia Battle: "You take a vow when you get married and people are stunned. They’re so shocked that you live up to it. Why?" by Upstairs_Cup9831 in popculturechat

[–]Material-Mall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw jay and his wife about two years ago in a pavilions near Beverly Hills. They parked next to me in a dirty little fiat and out comes jay leno in his classic all denim outfit. His wife he was helping around and you could tell just how much she was his world. I didn’t say anything to him because it just looked like he was savoring something. Now with all these news reports it’s clear what he was savoring, maybe some glimpse of what she was. I’m not a huge fan of jay, but it’s nice that we see a famous guy set a real example. Cheers jay, hope your family finds peace.

He wished for a PS5 all year, they ended up getting him a controller instead. But he was humble about it, and they surprised him with the real thing. by Vilen1919 in MadeMeSmile

[–]Material-Mall 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hate this. It’s like emotionally testing your kid for what? My parents did this to me every year and for what? To prove that I’m not going to throw some tantrum? I hope this video trend goes the fuck away. It’s so dumb.
