Hey Chefs, Cooks, Lurkers, and more!
I don't know about you, but I joined this page to network, share ideas/techniques, and to add another tool to aid my improvement in the field. A large part of that is based on conversation, and sometimes I feel like we don't stoke that flame enough. I'm no moderator or anything, just a Chef trying to make tasty plates and lead a crew through replicating them, and learning as much as I can as fast as I can. Talking with some of you could be a great resource to some. For some of us, we don't have anyone to bounce things off of and just talk shop. A lot of us as Chef's spend a lot of time at work, and thus the only people we tend to talk to are the very employees we want to seek advice about or just simply vent. This place, is supposed to be a place we can talk about those things. Our industry is rough enough on the mind, body, and soul we don't have to be rough on each other all the time too.
We should keep building each other and our trade up, trying to make industry trends better executed, sharing war stories, and sharing tips like we're sharing a shift meal/drink/smoke by the dumpster after the shift.
Speaking of stoking the flames of community, What was one of your simplest specials, that the customers loved?
