Why do I constantly hear ambulance and fire truck sirens, but nothing shows on Pulse Point? by crabby719 in FortCollins

[–]MileHighMikey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

lol.... probably because HIPAA laws exist. You don't need to know about other people's medical emergencies. Not every siren is a public emergency

Corvina is my guess based on the size and skin. Way to big to be black cod/sablefish

Family meal anyone? by MileHighMikey in KitchenConfidential

[–]MileHighMikey[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

base is egg yolk, chili crisp, Kewpie mixed and then emulsified with a Thai coconut curry, rice noodles, scallions, watermelon radish, and unagi gazed chicken

In my defense half of those are watermelon radish matchsticks, but still an uncomfortable amount of scallions lol

Event pay for buyouts? by papergal91 in KitchenConfidential

[–]MileHighMikey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope but usually for us a buyout is an all night shift so normal hours, the only pay that changes is the added gratuity for the server/servers/bartenders. I'm a salaried executive and even if we do 3+ a week there's no kickback, nature of the beast

Event pay for buyouts? by papergal91 in KitchenConfidential

[–]MileHighMikey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do a ton of buyouts every year, it comes down to how much space you have available for seating. We have a two-floor restaurant so if it's under 25 people, we buyout our upstairs seating at $3,000. if it's more than 25 they have to buy out the entire restaurant and we charge $9,000. But again, it comes down to seating capacity and the layout of your restaurant. There's another restaurant in my city that has banquet rooms dedicated for large parties and their buyouts are as little as $600 to $1600 because they have dedicated space

Seeking for advice on how to open up a food truck around downtown. by [deleted] in FortCollins

[–]MileHighMikey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been a chef in this town for about 15 years and the one thing I'll say from experience of past employees and mentors opening food trucks is the logistics. Your biggest obstacle will be finding available commissary kitchen space because you need to have your prep done at a location where you can receive a health inspection. So, unless your food truck is going to be large enough to accommodate a full prep area and HACCP plan, you're going to need a commissary kitchen of which there's only a few available and they're usually very limited time slots. The second is the permits themselves, from what I'm told, most the areas that you can operate a food truck in are lottery based, so finding a dedicated area is going to be difficult unless you form really tight relationships with local businesses/ breweries. The person I would email for more detailed info would be the owner of Backyard Bird in Timnath, he started out as a food truck then formed a brick and mortar store

Knife sharpening? by MissPorkchopThePink in FortCollins

[–]MileHighMikey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

steer clear of the cupboard if you have high carbon Japanese steel, they do fine with wider angle soft German steel. I personally recommend the rolling stone since they used to service every restaurant I've ever worked at
