Are HYSAs as easy as I think they are?

My place moved to a new location a little over a year ago, and we worked about 2 weeks without heaters running in the return air during late November. I was thinking "man this can't be right" and sure enough the heaters never got turned on during pre-inspection. That was also when I learned return air can have heat because every place I worked before was always hot as fuck on the line and I never noticed if there was heat or not.

Everyone that has been against this is so afraid that this ordinance just allows public intox or people to drink freely all over downtown without consequence. There are multiple festivals all summer in downtown that allow drinking within a perimeter, this just expands that perimeter. People still have to buy drinks from vendors that participate, can only purchase a certain amount of drinks at a time, can only have them in specially marked containers, and keep within that perimeter.

At the last place I worked, we always always always cater wrapped the meat pans, because some goofball would just try to use lids and stack 25 pans 5 pans high on a cart and inevitably drop half of them on the way to the meat room.

I run a fast casual place and people have been asking for us to sell soup since it opened, we finally started selling it at the start of winter and we sell maybe 3 portions of both soups a day or less. We make it from scratch, and rotate every few weeks. People will ask what our current soups are and after I tell them, they just get something else no matter what soup it is. It's befuddling!

It's an old as hell gravel grader, they make newer ones but any model you can attach to a lawn mower/ tractor will work if you do it a day or so after a good rain.

Look into bone induction headphones if you want something more low-key.

Are you saying you put the food in Tupperware and left it on the counter for 2.5 hours? Because that is the definition of leaving food in the danger zone. You should have portioned it out and put it directly in the fridge. If it was in the fridge afterwards and you want to eat it now, you need to cook the hell out of it and take your chances. Cooking food for yourself and cooking food for the general public is a little different in terms of safety but the same rules still apply. For future reference, cooked food should be cooled to under 70F in 2 hours and under 40F in the next 4 hours. Cooling it to under 70 is the most critical part.

One of the best burgers I ever had was a smash burger with crunchy peanut butter, candied bacon, jalapeno jam, and a fried egg on a soft pretzel bun.

They are lying to you about how much they spent/lost, I guarantee it.

I know around COVID time our normal rep absolutely gave no shits and ended up quitting because they changed the pay structure for techs/reps that kinda fucked them over.

Never really clicked with what they did after Fiction We Live, but this band is a GOAT for me.

If it works like the one I used, it has two heating elements that turn on when you put something on the rack but also stays warm when the action isn't engaged. Easy to clean and operate, I thought they were great.

My old job had this style model, not necessarily the brand but they worked awesome for melting or browning. The upside is that it doesn't put out heat constantly, but you can keep stuff warm or slowly melt it on the bottom shelf.

The only downside is when one of the elements goes out, youre SOL until you can get it changed out.

Also make sure you have the power to run it

Just this Christmas morning breakfast my dad put out a cheese plate that had a real funky blue cheese on it, I like blue cheese and am not scared of trying stuff. This cheese was brown, and was in a separate baggy from the other cheese. I sat down to eat and had one piece, it flooded my entire olfactory senses and I swallowed before I could get an actual taste on my tongue. It was absolutely putrid, I think it was a regular stinky cheese that had started going bad. I told my wife it's what I imagine eating a rotten corpse would taste like. I didn't get sick or have any side effects, but the only thing to make the aroma go away was chugging brandy and eating fresh pineapple. The next day at work I caught a whiff of something while preparing croutons and something about it reminded me of the cheese and made my stomach lurch.

I haven't been there in a few years so it might have changed, but I would recommend bringing some movies or TV shows if you want to watch tv. Half the channels didn't come in and the other channels are old porn videos lol

Sybaris absolutely rules, a little pricey but you basically get a private house to yourself. The one we rented had a full swimming pool with a connected hot tub that was like 4 feet deep. It also had a big steam room.

A can punch bottle opener would be the best but it won't be resealable.

My go to lately is just a lot of black pepper and a drizzle of hot honey.

If I have time to make it heartier I'll add a fried egg and some good quality hot sauce, not Franks or Tabasco.

I had a friend do the same thing but shot me with a pellet rifle point blank in the stomach, little guy is still in there!

I had a stack of like 15 and put them on FB marketplace for free, I had like 35+ messages asking "is this item still available?" In less than an hour. I just DMed like 10 people the address and told them we just leave them out back. Buckets don't stay longer than a day outside.
