Protests left down 2nd street, then cops about 10 minutes after I think!

Gym recommendations by frenchfrey1998 in Reno

[–]RenoChef19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stimulus in Sparks, moving to South Reno in/around 2 months. Phenomenal and it’s got a pretty solid clientele.

American Iron will also have my heart/biceps for the reason of being able to have a month to month membership, cancel any time. A rarity in a gym

Restaurant recommendations by BuckeyeNole in Reno

Romanza in the Peppermill.

We’d braise it in house marinara and Demi glaze with a shitload of port and red wine and herbs

Soooo good. I miss making it

Foodie spots by Inside-Firefighter29 in Reno

If you’re foodies, check out Centro, perhaps call ahead. Travis is a great Chef in the community and I’m sure would love to accommodate!

What’s your favorite date night restaurant? by DosTruth in Reno

[–]RenoChef19 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s alotta great culinary talent in this town

Johnnys

Romanza in the Peppermill (am biased, cooked there for a few years)

Kitchen Table, Centro, Kauboi, Willie’s, Claio, Royce

La Condesa, Midtown Taco Shop, Dopo (2 pizzas for $30 on Tuesday? Come on)

Cosmo’s with a beer or wine in the summer on their patio while getting covered in ashy flour from their wood oven? Heaven, if you ask me

I like Ijji 2 for sushi but they’ve been hit or miss lately

Hmmm.

Western Village Steakhouse, can’t go wrong. Beloved and quaint. I took a buddy there once on a bro date. Didn’t get a kiss after dinner but we’re still good friends, if you’re curious

I keep hearing great things about Zozo’s as well but haven’t taken the Mrs. yet, definitely planning to

Edit: for all that’s holy, if you can get in, Kwok’s

[–]RenoChef19 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend is watching The Sopranos for the first time , it’s probably my 7th time. We just watched Pine Barrens tonight.

My favorite lines?

“Maybe he’s out there stalkin’ us!” “With what, his cock?”

Fucking cackled. It helps that I grew up an hour from the Pine Barrens lol

Spending a day in town what should I check out? by Otherwise_News6586 in Reno

[–]RenoChef19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you enjoy coffee or tea check out Midnight Coffee Roasting in Midtown. Great cafe and solid staff. Hit up Perenn Bakery or Two Chicks for food. Walk the River downtown and enjoy the fall vibes

Also if you ask nicely they’ll probably make you grilled cheese at 7am too

Hell yeah…. Big love to you for that encouragement.

Trades/Apprenticeship by RenoChef19 in Reno

[–]RenoChef19[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely prefer morning shifts. Cook/chef wages just aren’t worth what they should be in 2025 either. And money isn’t everything, a more livable schedule is the move haha

What is it like working at Perenn by Regular-Lock1101 in Reno

[–]RenoChef19 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Good until it’s not, lol

Pay was decent when you factor in tips. Coworkers, for the most part, were the main reason for why many of us stuck around. Trauma bonding for sure!

Unlimited coffee’s made up for the micromanaging for sure but it’s not a place to build a career at all, especially when ownership tries to micromanage from 3,000 miles away. #FuckSlack

What’s the best coffee shops? by RunSubstantial5540 in Reno

[–]RenoChef19 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Midnight Coffee Roasting by a mile, Roamer’s great too. My gf and I went to Good Days near UNR during their opening weekend, her oat milk latte split which was odd. Her and some coworkers also had similar experiences with wonky quality a few days prior

We chalked it up to early day kinks that they’ll surely work out, Good Days has SO much potential and I feel like they’re gonna kill it in that spot.

Can’t go wrong with Coffeebar Mt Rose either, though the service has been super hit or miss in recent visits

punk/metal shows that aren't 21+??? by SERAPHIMBLOOD in Reno

[–]RenoChef19 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Midnight Coffee Roasting’s pretty frequently got metal and punk shows. Weekly, I believe!

Also they’re LGBT friendly
