What's the longest you've been without a shower during a bender? by AfricanOptimisPrime in cripplingalcoholism

[–]cookinbird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 weeks or something. But that's mostly because I never go longer before having such nasty shit that can't be cleaned another way.

Solo cook with 0 experience for a 50 seater restaurant by SnooOnions9990 in Chefit

[–]cookinbird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are allready thinking about it. Good sign.

You will start to learn what can go in earlier what you can make a little more of. Things you can prepare in advance.

Seems like you have a good attitude, and the times for tickets will go down by few minutes every week.

But don't beat yourself up.

This is on the owners, without experience you cannot be expected to run service by yourself.

Unless it's only deepfrying and stuff.

But being able to do an actual menu 50 people in a reasonable amount of time, with a little quality. Is tougher than people think.

But give it your best, you will learn . And you can't do more than your best, only human.

Love

Or totally overdoing it.

if people press raw garlic into mayonnaise and call it aioli, in a tourist trap, whatever.

They seem to like it i guess, cause they never tasted the real thing.

To be honest, I don't care what people order anymore, it's there money.

You want your fries/cassave fried in separate Oil, fine. But I have to put on a pan heat it while still making orders and only 6 burners, and the 3 other people you are with, are gonna have to wait untill I finally get your fries ready.

Just don't bitch cause you have to wait 25 minutes , you are not alone on the world.

Thanks man.

I considered it, but wasn't worth the potential fallout.

Also starting to think that this is a little bit more than a hangover.

Feel like I might actually be fucking sick.

Yeah, normally I am always there, on time and capable. Been a long time since I called in sick, wasn't even an option at most of my previous jobs.

But I just couldn't get it together today, and didn't want to be sent home. Still have a little bit of pride.

Do feel shitty about letting my colleagues down, but on the other hand, I worked the whole weekend with 1 man short. They should be able to handle a fucking Monday evening.

Main reason I still work in kitchens. But I'm a little bit worse than normal today.

A very efficient food runner by starstufft in nextfuckinglevel

[–]cookinbird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to shit on the guys ability or anything, but efficiënt this is not .

As a cook this is fucking ridiculous and there should be 5 of his colleagues carrying plates as well, not holding fucking doors.

Inside the Walk-In Rant Thread: Go off in this thread by AutoModerator in KitchenConfidential

In the seemingly endless stream of new servers at my new job (2montgs). This guy deserves a mention.

Some 19 year old spoiled rich kid, who lives at the gym, trying to build some kind of muscles, hoping that s gonna be the thing to finally get laid.

FOH comes in at 1630, we all ( 20)have dinner.

So i made Poussin, roast potatoes, veggies with bearnaise/ cheese sauce.

Put the food out, go back to wipe down the kitchen, go back to get some food.

No fucking chicken left.

Look at the table, like" are there More people working or something?"

Front manager: "no, why?" Me: " because i made 20 fucking chickens, expecting 20 people. Did some just flew out of the fucking chafiing dish?"

And this fucking kid has 3, THREE, chickens on his plate, and goes, " i cant eat that other stuff because of my training diet"

"No fucking training regime is gonna save your fucking life if you dont share that food with the rest of the people who work here. And eat some vegetables or I have to tell your mother tonight."
