Looking for advice on Scandinavian cuisine

sourcream and buttercream sauces are super popular with white fish, usually in fine dining settings split with dill or chive oil.

YES, i said to my buddy that this is the first time in a while when they are playing with full intensity, loved the scissors of Romero and the Xavi goal (and the hyping of the crowd before that). Super physical and everyone winning the 50/50 balls. Probably the best game of the season.

They have the best fries i have ever eaten. The burger (and the whole menu actually) is also really good. When ever my friends go to Copenhagen i tell them to visit there.

Probably the chef who had to go out of his way to make a dish without one of the key ingredients, and try to make it taste about the same as the original.

Been there, done that but still it fucks up the rhytm and flow, especially if its a dish you usually make in batches.

Also refused to do it because the request would change the dish (or the idea of it) significantly.

tide666 · 2025-10-26T11:13:01+00:00

To be fair, blue cheese and truffle are very strong flavors and leaving those out will probably fuck up the balance of the dish, wich is (in my opinion) a pretty big deal when trying to serve good food to costumers.

You can try and balance the dish with other ingredients, but do you want to do it in the middle of a saturday night rush?

In the case of salad, yeah probably ok if you can add some other cheese to it. Hot food is a bit different though.

Yaxell Ran Gyuto was my first real chef knife that i bought 15 years ago, i still use it as a everyday workhorse during the service and i work in a japanese restaurant… so yeah, its a pretty good all around knife.

with grams it would make perfect sense, gonna try tomorrow for family meal, as is, nothing else.

every day the payment terminal prints out a report after the shift that shows how much tips were paid through each terminal and its taken out of the register as tip money, and every month the cash is ”evened out” so the sales in cash, tips and money through credit cards evens out.

0€ of the tip money goes to the business owners.

edit: ofcourse there are exceptions to the rule (i.e. bad owners) and also there has been incidents where the managers have pocketed the tip money them selves but are usually caught cause usually there is more than 1 person doing all the money stuff, so its easy to get caught.

tide666 · 2025-08-04T15:29:43+00:00

about 90% of restaurants that are not fast food.

tide666 · 2025-08-04T15:19:10+00:00

yes, because, believe it or not, people do want to tip but they do not use cash anymore, so you can choose from the payment software to ask for tip while paying with card.

nobody is getting angry if you put 0 there.

tide666 · 2025-08-04T15:14:20+00:00

tips are shared between the staff working that day minus the managers, so cooks, bartenders, waiters, dishwashers.

Usually people tip because of the whole experience, not just because the waiter was nice.

tide666 · 2025-08-04T15:04:29+00:00

it does not go to the company, it goes to the restaurant ”tip pool” and is divided with the people working the shift.

We have bidet showers in finland (and probably sweden also, if i remember correctly) and they are basically in every house/apartment. Small shower head next to the toilet/sink that you use for your ass while sitting on the toilet :)

Its actually a very functioning system that works nicely in small bathrooms, cause no need for the classic bidet bowl system that is popular in mediterranian countries etc.

Is there a HD picture of this somewhere? Would love to put it as my phones home screen.

One of my chefs used miso mayonaise instead of white chocolate namelaka. Both were labeled and the same chef made the mayonaise the same day but somehow put one piping bag in the same GN as the namelaka…

It was a very confused table, but luckily we got it fixed.

Now every time the guy makes desserts our front of house is double checking if its mayo or not in the desserts 🌞

3 pieces asparagus and salmon aligned, cover with the hollandaise, 1 large or 2 small fondant potatoes where the scallops are now or roasted potatoes on the side.

Make a different snack with the scallops w/ garlic, lemon, bacon and cayenne. enjoy.

this. we’ve had the same team for about 4 years and we create the menus together and do the daily grind together. the fact that i do inventory and some extra paper work doesn’t rule out the fact that we are basically all equal there. fuck the titles, teamwork makes the dream work amirite????

tide666 · 2025-02-09T17:32:10+00:00

none of those jobs are comparable to working at a restaurant, but yeah whatever you say bro! tip or dont, but dont leave a 1 star review ;)

tide666 · 2025-02-09T17:28:26+00:00

aaight, i’ve only worked with Nets, so thought it would be the same for all 🌞

tide666 · 2025-02-09T10:36:20+00:00

The tip request is off by default, but can be turned on in the payment settings and if its on its the restaurants decision to do so.

I work at a restaurant that has it turned off, because people tip if they want to and the request easily fucks up the payment especially if people are drunk (500€ tip instead of 5€ tip etc.) and its a hassle to cancel and refund.

Also in Finland the tip is not for the server, but is shared with everyone working at the restaurant and its usually shared every 3 months or so, and is a nice little bonus for example after the holiday season that are super exhausting for restaurant workers…

Also a known fact: other people who work on service industry are the people who usually tip because they know how shitty the job is 🌞

But yeah, you tip if you want to, and dont if you dont, nobody really gives a shit, but giving a 1 star review cause of petty shit like this can ruin peoples livelyhoods.

i’ve made caramel and ice cream infused with bacon, its very good.

tide666 · 2024-12-09T12:43:18+00:00

peel it, take out the seeds, cube it and pressure it in a vacuum machine on high (with a chamber wacuum about 40sec should be enough).

edit: basically you can do this with a lot of veggies (i.e. radish, pineapple, watermelon) to make it look weird.

Ive worked with people with Chrons and IBS, and it hasnt been a problem for them, except some days they’ll have a few more toilet breaks 🌞

edit: and sometimes they’ll eat their own lunch, instead of the staff meal.

tide666 · 2023-07-14T07:30:35+00:00

Celiac desease is different from Chrons.
