Bought a speed rack for $50 and sheet trays for $4 a pop on FB Marketplace.

My apartment doesn't have much cabinet space. I wanted something to hold all of my stuff without being committed to a layout.

Anchored to.......drywall?

Love when this kinda thing happens..... what is this, anchored the punch to straight drywall?

Edit: It really does look like an owl. With 90 hungry kids looming on the horizon, I ended up hand cutting 28 pounds of fries and submitting a request to the on-site facilities guy to have it fixed. He is a smart guy, and I know he will fix it well.

They weren't for service or super rushed, thank God. I had about 4 hours till lunch.

I am the entire culinary department for a private K-8 school. The kids ended up loving the wedge cut fries, always something to be taken or learned from a bad event.

You guys rock, I hope your shifts are easy and your drinks are strong tonight 🙏🤠

The #2 most popular dessert

This was served to me on a cruise ship. I looked at it. My daughter looked at it. Then we looked at each other and cried we laughed so hard.

I wanted to get professional opinions on the presentation.

To the guy that said his line went from saying "potatoes dauphinoise" to evolving into chaotic dolphin noises. I still think about that comment. And it makes me giggle every time i remember it

Thank you for commenting on that post god knows how long ago. That whole thread was full of golden kitchen fuckery stories, but that one stuck with me.

These stories are what make us stick with it. If we can get some silliness into the day, it makes the grind just a bit easier.

So thanks for the laughs

Tony’s Bologna

Mortadella on Brioche with Dijon, mayo and provolone. Served with miniature heirlooms, tossed in rice wine vinegar, S&P with a balsamic drizzle.

EDIT. This sandwich landed me an executive chef job at a local gastro-pub. They liked my other offerings as well, but THIS sandwich is what they (the 10-person judgement board with which I was interviewing) unanimously said was the reason they called me back. Not my locally sourced black angus burger with bourbon-bacon-onion jam, not my spicy pork belly with honey-gochujang, (which they all did love also), but THIS sando. I ended up putting it on the menu with a local ciabatta, and thic-cut tallow-fried potatoes, seasoned with salt and pepper, paired with choice of Peroni or Negroni for $25 and it flew out the dang window as fast as I could make them. Saturday nights I was manning a grill specifically for this sandwich while the rest of the staff worked the rest of the menu.

Went on holiday for a week and came back to this 🥲

My £170 VG10 sujihiki from Musashi got dropped by the dishie - one could say it’s my fault for letting them use my nice set while I was gone.

First - has anyone got some tips on re-tipping? I’ve got a 400grit stone but I’m worried I’ll just end up carving grooves into it.

Second - what am I going to do with the dishie? (Apparently he cried because he was scared of my reaction - I honestly had a rough holiday so it was the least of my concerns when I got back) I kinda want to let him off the hook but I’m also taking suggestions for was to “prank” or lightly tease him for it. (I’m actually gonna get him to help me repair it and make it into a bonding experience- but I still want to mess with him a little.)

Weirdest/worst thing you've had to remove from the restaurant?

Had the front of house girls call me down to dispose of a wasp 3 times in the last 2 days, last week spent 40 minutes chasing a bird.

Had a hornet once, a massive one.

What's the worst (or best) creature you've had to evict from the premises?

Edit: didn't account for the Aussies and Americans when I posted this... showing me up with ya bears and gators smh

I bet those whippets were good…

Don’t know if this has been here or not.

Edit: It will not let me edit the title. Only the blurb. It was an autocorrect I didn’t notice until after the post.

EDIT: Thanks guys, it’s probably totally fine
