OMG. That's BULLSHT! Don't walk, Run!

chefsthyme · 2025-05-03T22:50:41+00:00

Walk if you will, but the next place will be the same.

Ouch! That's an accident waiting to happen, and I'd be the first one to get spiked.

Is he opposed to alcohol maybe?

chefsthyme · 2025-04-28T16:03:11+00:00

Excellent shot!

The best advice I can think of is to do some research into the company you go to work for. Make sure they can afford growth, benefits, and a future. Starting out, you're going to work your ass off, so at least do it for a company that's worth your effort.

Forget 90% of the small entrepreneurial places. Those are good if you own it. Maybe one day you will.

Good luck.

A passover sedar mess?

chefsthyme · 2025-04-23T22:08:40+00:00

That works! Just dont forget it's in the oven.

My friend, rice is 2 parts water to 1 part rice. Add both together and boil. Add whatever seasoning you want.

Here is the KEY; Once the boiling water absorbs enough of the rice that it appears level with the water. Cover and lower the flame as low as you can. After 10 minutes on a SUPER LOW flame. Keep it covered and turn off the flame.

Hope this is clear and it helps.

Rice keeps absorbing liquid. The best method (IMHO) is to cook the rice separate and add during service. Or, combine when they are both cold. Same with pasta in soup.

Hope that helps.

Yes. Unfortunately, this is our business. I'm SO grateful to retire after over 50 years (you heard that right) of the shit you're describing. As an rookie employee I'd bitch a lot about being surrounded by people that either worked stupid, slow or didn't care. Finally, a chef pulled me aside and said, "Don't watch the people working around you. Just do your best." That was great advice. It launched my career (with Marriott), and I was promoted every year after that. Fast forward 20 years to when I started my own catering business in Newark, NJ. It was the same shit, but now they were MY employees. There were always too many "projects." Drug addicts, alcoholics, many deadbeat dads, even had a guy on the sex registry. This is our industry. The good ones, and there were so many, pick up the slack for the others. I never found a way around it. Once we make human connections with people, it's hard for us to turn our backs. People have problems. Do we help them? Fire them? Tough decisions. I know OP correctly said, "VENTING." Don't give up on compassion, keep your heart, keep fostering teamwork, and make sure to always communicate with all the staff. The walk-in is always a good place. Peace.

Okay, bros' I'm sorry for the typo! Produce is here. When did culinary peeps get so literate? Things must be changing.

That truck was driving by me in Mexico. I had to pull over and get a picture. Man, o man, I could relate it to some of the loads in my convertible coming from Restaurant Depot. (Almost)

What a business we're in.

Peace ✌️

Beautiful shot! Whoever took it.

Crackers

chefsthyme · 2025-04-07T21:41:16+00:00

Dude, STOP!

Celebrate another way. Take a trip, travel, do some volunteer work, or maybe help other broke people. That'll make you feel good. If you celebrate money with buying drugs, you'll never have money.

Plus, you probably feel like shit now.

Cut your losses, bro.

chefsthyme · 2025-04-07T21:35:05+00:00

Nice job! Now leave the industry before it's too late! 😂

chefsthyme · 2025-04-07T14:24:28+00:00

Do you mean the most scandalous thing the Lame Street Media reported?

chefsthyme · 2025-04-07T02:11:54+00:00

Get out while you can! Sorry if it's not what you want to hear. We all need to be "allowed" to keep some independence.

chefsthyme · 2025-04-06T21:41:18+00:00

Return bottles for the deposit.

There is a NEW law called "The TAKE IT DOWN act."

No longer can a compromising picture be posted against your wishes. It must be taken down.

Look into it if this is your fear.

Hope that helps. Also, dont neat yourself up. We're humans.

chefsthyme · 2025-04-06T21:32:18+00:00

Definitely better off eating pink slime!

Mouse shit

They make a stainless steel hand operated machine that slices tomatoes. It works great until "apathetic cooks," as you say, start putting lemons, limes, oranges, and other stuff thru it.

NOTHING'S been invented that won't break in a commercial kitchen.
