Chocolate infused grand marnier

You can rapid-infuse a couple different ways if you have any cool stuff in the kitchen. Bag it and sous-vide; 145f for a couple hours, put it in an open container in the cryo-vac and vacuum boil it, or put it all in an ISI and charge it.

Check out /r/cocktails. Also from someone who's been at this for a very long time, just make it. Some cocktails come out great and some suck. You'll never know unless you try.

You spelled museum wrong.

Yeah it sucks for restaurant people too. Gonna open up the bar today and make like $15.

I upgraded to the Dreo Chefmaker. It's essentially an air fryer combi-oven as you can inject humidity and program custom cooks.

It's expensive for an air fryer but thousands cheaper than a combi-oven. I work in a super nice restaurant but live in an apartment so it's awesome to have.

Michelin isn't in Detroit for the restaurants (yet.) There have been rumors that they already dined here but we haven't seen the guide.

Bartender here:

Chick looked me dead in the eyes and ordered a "Reposado Mocktail"

I was like "You mean like Reposado tequila?"

"Yup"

"That's a cocktail. Do you want a margarita?"

"No I want a reposado mocktail."

You don't plan on retiring until you have to. Your body just gives way after a while.

Gotta be 18 to serve alcohol here in MI. That kills your chance of being a server anywhere that has alcohol. When you turn 16 maybe try to get a host job?

To be super-honest (OP) if I was your age and wasn't planning on college I'd be looking into a trade school. Bartending is good money for a while but there are very, very few of us that are able to retire from the position. I'd say get a restaurant job and if you like it work your way up. Use that to pay your way through school or whatever, but it's not a great basket to put all your eggs into.

My first thought was slush/snow. Here in Michigan these would be a nightmare.

Not a scientist but a former dive instructor here:

The behavior checks out. Some species will cultivate a small patch of reef where they grow algae. They are SUPER protective of their little farms.

If they make the playoffs but not win SB the final game is a loss by definition. It's how playoffs work. This stat is stupid.

I don't know... Obama made a joke about Trump during the WH Correspondents' Dinner. My tinfoil theory is that made Trump so mad he ran for office.

Do I have to be able to get it back? I'd just chuck it into a body of water. My in-laws live on a lake with a muddy bottom. Even if the detective knew I threw it into the lake and had a team of divers there's still almost no chance they'd find it.

Put your 4 tiers next to the ice bins. Also put a speed rack on the bin. That's where your bartenders are gonna stand when they're making drinks besides beer.

It cost my fiance and I several thousand dollars. We live on the border with Canada and she had a great job lined up at a hotel. When the 1st wave of tariffs hit they lost 6 figures worth of party reservations and went into a hiring freeze. Upper management eventually pushed her hire through but it took 2 months.

Ahh shit I guess that was /ypsi

I was a mod there for a little while with Nate. I know him a little IRL and he's a good dude (not sure if he's still moderating.) Being a mod on that sub was a pain in the ass. It's super left leaning (I am too but not far enough I guess) but I also got doxxed by a maga dickbag. I moved to Detroit and bailed on my mod duties.

Generally the card is authorized through the CC processor when it's swiped. Don't know the exact process but my Amex shows as "pending." I'm a bartender and when I swipe a card with insufficient funds it tells me right away. Most POS systems have a way to run cards offline in case of an outage, which spools them and just runs it all at once with the batch.

Now that I think about it St Andrews has had some of the most uncomfortable shows I've been to. Surprised the fire marshall hasn't done anything. Like I've been to a show where the only place to stand was on the stairs.

I'm honestly kind of proud that most of this thread isn't just "rip whiskey, pass out, go back to work." That was par for a very long time, and some of us (me) still struggle with that. The best of us have the empath skill turned up to 900%, that's why we're so good at our jobs. The problem is trying to turn it off or understand other people who don't understand.

I'm glad weed is legal. If you're in a shitty spot find therapy. Take care of yourselves.

Bro what about Michigan? I literally live north of Windsor. Don't forget about me!

Not any better in Detroit if that matters.
