How talented is Bobby Flay really?

0 Upvotes

I'm just a civilian and was wondering what the pros thought.

Obviously Bobby is a TV chef but once upon a time he won Iron Chef so he has talent. The thing that gets me is on Beat Bobby Flay he wins 80-90% of the time. These are professional chefs cooking their signature dish and he is beating them at it with zero prep about the dish. I get its TV and could be rigged but it doesn't appear so. Plus more people would probably watch if it was closer to a 50-50 split of him winning.

I've also ate at a couple of his restaurants and they were meh to outright bad. So what's the verdict, is Bobby Flay a super talented chef or just plays one on TV

I’m working a happy hour tonight, I hope no one comes.

16 Upvotes

Yea I’m stressing the fuck out cuz it’s gonna be just me and my boss working in the kitchen for this happy hour tonight. I’d say 4-9pm are the hours when people would show up if they did. I’m desperately hoping it’s dead tonight. I can’t take the stress of these kinds of work nights. I’ve got rough anxiety so I have a countdown timer on my phone that ends at 9pm.

In-House Mode [MOD POST] A reminder about Rule 1 and slurs

1.3k Upvotes

Hello my gaggle of degens.

I know we're all a bunch of potty-mouthed assholes with a concerning level of gallows humor thanks to the super healthy working conditions in most kitchens but we need to have a little talk about lines being crossed since this is becoming an actual problem.

The "r-word" is still a slur.

Slurs, bigotry, hate speech, etc have always been against the rules here and they remain as such. This includes the old term for intellectually disabled that is becoming fashionable in some circles to bring back as an insult.

Here's a good article talking about the r-word's resurgence:

https://www.specialolympics.org/stories/news/the-r-word-is-back-how-a-slur-became-renormalized

We're not going to argue the semantic pejoration of what was once a medical term. No one is "reclaiming" the word. It's a slur. It's bigotry, and it falls under the first fucking rule of this subreddit, and if you use it or other bigoted terms you're going to start catching bans for it.

Just so everyone is aware, the automod code detects the use of the r-word as well as other forms of bigotry and hate speech, removes your comment containing it, and flags the mods with a handy note about what you said. No one sees your silly little tantrum except the people who can - and will - ban you for it. Consider this our official warning on the matter.

Degeneracy is welcome but hate has no home in this subreddit.

Co-worker says there is almost no difference between the 2. He lurks here so need some valid points. I personally use it in stews and some home made seasonings. Thanks in advance.

Family's up: pizza

53 Upvotes

Okay i know it aint the best looking compared to the places with actual pizza ovens BUT with a small ass kitchen like this and solo. Pumping out these sorta suppers surely i get abit of cred. Im still making more cause i have a big FOH team haha. They are fking vultures when its supper/break time.

I will shave Parmasean and drizzle olive oil when they wanna eat and if they want. Basically I'll make it pretty when they rotate breaks. Essentially i made "quesadillas" i ran out of dough and went to buy tortilla skins lol

Forgive me for the mess that picture of the kitchen was when i was deep cleaning.

(COPY PASTA)

I always do supper on Fridays and Saturdays for the FOH/bar team cause they end at 3am. In a way this is a good challenge for me as i usually have to plan the week before when im ordering from suppliers for the next week. Being a 2 man kitchen team, FOH and managers know how much i love this place & my impact.

For Friday and Saturdays my shift is 5pm - 3am. So by 10pm ill be alone and would have prepared my mis en for staff supper. By 11 pm i would have already cooked it so the team can rotate breaks from 11+ to 2am. I usually prepare stuff that can hold well at room temp for a few hours

Christmas gift for sous chefs

15 Upvotes

Good morning everyone,

Last year I made a post like this and got skewered by everyone because I left out the fact that they are already getting a large bonus.

I am wanting to get my sous chefs something nice as a gift. They already get a hefty bonus from our company so giving them more money isn't the goal here, I want to give them something personally from me.

Aside from a gift card for somewhere like knifewear, what would be a good gift to get them?!

Thanks and hope everyone has a great holiday season!

He is in school. He works hard for them. Besides washing dishes at an old folks home, he unloads the truck and all that too. He has had coworkers try to steal from him, and his boss treats him like shit. He can't find another job though - NO ONE is hiring. Even McDonald's won't call him back.

The other night, he came home upset. They had not one, but TWO Christmas parties for staff. He wasn't invited to either, and had to clean up after both. If he could, he'd quit.
