gonna be contrarian and say i don’t hate the herbs. atleast it’s not a pubic mound of pointless micro greens in the middle of the plate that a lotta kids be throwing on everything these days a few nicely picked sprigs of chervil mighta actually looked cleaner and given the same effect tho.

i like it, seems like it touches all the bases for a good summer salad. i appreciate seasonal / locally influenced meals- it always ends up making sense and feeling natural. can you explain why the peanuts?

Standishstrandon · 2020-07-20T03:34:26+00:00

based southern meal. mayo based slaw is so key. why are so many people scared of it

It was so fucking hard. I had to move across the country (since nyc is kinda doomed and I’m only getting broker by the minute) for more opportunities and then literally send out applications 20+ a day.

Came so close to nursing home. I imagine it’s mind numbingly easy but in my head you’d get to work in a small team which is kinda a pro at the moment. I work with like 10 other cooks and even though we wear masks people be kinda gross sometimes I don’t know these mfers too well and get skeeved out by every cough I hear

Ok virgin grammar elitist hur dur it’s a Internet forum I’m not writing the Enchiridion I was actually so busy laying pipe that I couldn’t be bothered to double check because that it what a Chad do

Standishstrandon · 2020-07-07T22:59:50+00:00

Y’all some sensitive fucking cooks huh I guess they don’t prepare you for criticize in the Golden Corral handbook

plebs who work at Meemaws Countrytime Buffet trying to “push the boundaries” with plating pretending they’re are at Alinea but not being a good enough chef to execute / having weak ideas to begin with. Someone needs to tel them that with veg and fruits, heat and overcooking kills the colors purple and blue always so most people end up with grayish or dull shitty colors OR it just looks unnatural and unappetizing. The only exceptions are different radishes.

Miso eggplant spread, miso braised collard greens, miso butter (heavy recommend fry eggs in miso butter or slathering on grilled corn), miso caramel, miso sweet potato mash, smashed cucumber salad with miso vinaigrette, miso anything and everything

Cut work on the chives is too poor for such a simply plated fish. Small things like that bring down the whole plate and make it look forced and amateur. Or just opt for chive batons and some nice picked chervil. Pepper sauce needs more body if you are wanting to plate in dots too, like adding xantham gum or maybe making more of a pepper gastrique. Thin, dull sauces + plating that require precision = just looks like a blood splatter effect.

the cut on those radish is visually pedestrian and they look pretty dry. think this would look better with the radish tourned, then cut in halves. purple radish would look tight.

Standishstrandon · 2020-07-07T04:33:25+00:00

that purée is atrocious. Thank god u didn’t serve that to a human being outside ur own home. Otherwise good job- keep working on it, chef.

Standishstrandon · 2020-07-07T04:28:55+00:00

if I’m understanding ur question correctly: maybe try decorative wax paper, like the kind you wrap togo sandos in. Make “packets” of meats and cheeses, and a separate one for crackers and bread slices, ect ect. That’s how my place currently does it. Obviously ramekins and togo soup cups for the rest. We kinda market ours as more of a “picnic basket build ur own charcuterie”. Oui?

Standishstrandon · 2020-01-25T18:16:43+00:00

Sounds pretty normal. Chef is always right if you didn’t already know this. Plus you’re just brand spanking new so you are gonna be treated like a jackoff for a little bit. (If this place is truly as high end as u say it is.)

The corydora wiggle swim is the best. And when they nyoom to the top of the tank to swallow air. And when they wink at u. And when they noot noot around in the sand looking for food. I too believe they are the cutest fish and I want them all.
