hey ck. what the fuck do i ask potential line and prep cooks during interviews? how do you weed out the bads? any red flags? my chef has peaced out and i've never done this shit before and i can only think of asking if they're dumb.
>>7135677
>not the chef
>is interviewing people as incompetent as he is
Surely you work at a very high end establishment.
>>7135680
i'm sous and up until now i just managed people that the chef brought in.
thanks for your help friend.

As second in command interviewing people, talking to food distributors, wine/liquor/beer vendors and FoH staff should be a daily routine for you.
How small is the restaurant that you're working in that your Chef is capable of handling all of this on his own until now?
You must be retarded, so do this: trial by fire.
Most if not all of your menu items are probably common place items, stick them on the line, if they can't hack it...don't hire them.

jesus christ how do you guys eat baked goods
there's so much fucking sugar and calories, I'm getting type 2 diabetes just thinking about it
i got type 2 diabetes despite rarely consuming desserts or soda.
turns out you just gotta be fat and lazy. burgers, pizza, fried chicken, and xbox gave me the disease.

Try not eating 16 brownies, retard
By only having them rarely?
People on /ck/ don't seem to understand moderation is a thing. One slice of pie doesn't mean you're gonna have the rest of it, and a second pie to wash it down.
Moderation is fine, even good for you mentally/physically with some food (alcohol for instance).
Is this a chimicherry...or a cherrychanga?

Looks like bullshit from Chelsea or some Brooklyn art house in NYC.
I've got boneless center cut pork chops similar to pic related. I've got fresh rosemary and lemon mint, garlic, an onion, and run of the mill dried seasonings. I need suggestions for a sautee in olive oil.
2 tbsp each of evoo, Worcester sauce, low sodium soy, red wine if you have any. 2 cloves minced garlic ( garlic powder if not, not garlic salt), 1/4 tsp black pepper, Dat rosemary. Marinate for at least half an hour. Grill or broil to temp.
Caramelizing onions with rosemary tyme, paprika and garlic

Sounds good but no time to marinade. Moving forward with what I've got
hi ck, how was your dinner

so what do you do with the inside of the bread bowl? make it into rolls?
>>7135477
you fuck it
Please help me, cu/ck/s. I want to make a great grilled cheese, but I don't have a microwave. Do I boil it?
Also, grilled cheese general.
Turn your toaste on its side, then put in two slices of bread with some cheese in between it.
If a fire starts, don't worry; that's just your punishment for boiling it before.
try the rattiador

Thx senpai
How can I eat healthy but spend only 20-30 dollars a week? Is it possible? I'm going to move in with my dad, and I don't have much money to spend on food. I'm planning on cooking as well, and I'm not going vegetarian, but vegetables are fine.

1. A pound of red beans
2. A smoked ham hock
3. An onion
4. Pick over and soak the beans overnight with water about 1" above the bean level
5. Drain the beans, discard the soak water
6. In a large pot: beans, peeled and roughly chopped onion, smoked ham hock
7. Low heat for hours until the beans are tender
8. Make some rice
9. Eat red beans and rice
1. Buy some big tortillas
2. Can of refried beans
3. Cheese (shred this)
4. Heat up tortilla
5. Add some beans and cheese
6. Roll it up into a burrito
7. Let it heat until the cheese has melted
8. Bonus: add eggs and potatoes for a breakfast burrito
1. Buy some dry pasta
2. Buy some canned tomatoes
3. Buy some garlic
4. Steal some basil
5. Slowly cook the tomatoes with the garlic and maybe a little sugar
6. Boil some H2O to cook the pasta (BIG POT)
7. Cook the pasta
8. Serve with the tomato sauce and basil
9. Parmesan cheese for extra credit
I wanna make a philly, but I don't have a meat slicer or a knife sharp enough to cut the steak into really fucking thin strips.
Wat do.
>>7135316
freeze the meat then use a cheese slicer
>>7135322
Cheese slicer??
Other than that, this guy is right. Put the beef in the freezer for 30 minutes, it'll be almost frozen and very firm. You'll be able to slice it into very thin slithers, provided your knife is reasonably sharp.
>>7135322
That's stupid. The meat is already over cooked as it is. If you freeze it, then thaw it, it will need to be reheated again to melt the cheese thereby cooking it again.
There must be another way. Why not shred it with forks?

what went wrong with sbarro?
they were only in malls in canada and charged like $10 for a slice of pizza (when our dollar was almost on par with the usa...) and some small sides...
THE FREE MARKET SMACKED THEIR SHIT.
Their quality didn't compare to the price they charged
They were all in malls and malls are going under.
Cocktail thread?
Post your favourites. Any original recipes you have? Or any twist on a classic?
I just got a bottle of pic related for making dem Martinez. Any other uses for it?

Purple Haze
1 part Chambord
5 parts dry sake (California Ki-Ippon)
Warm the drink in a small bottle placed in hot water. Do not let the water boil.
I'm not, as a rule, a cocktail drinker but these are effervescent and delicious and ten times as soul-warming as they have any right to be. Perfect winter/holiday drink.

Not really an original recipe, but a Japanese Fine Dining near me serves a "Rei", which is just dry sake, two kinds of gin and Yuzu.
Pretty good, refreshing stuff.

Why is KFC so terrible?
I want to enjoy it, I really do. But they make it so hard.
Most of the stuff on their menu comes with the horrible boney, mystery meat original recipe chicken, which is fucking awful. Their fries taste of cardboard. The only actually good things they sell never come in any decent amount to fill you without having to go to the extreme level of buying like an 18 piece set which is far too much. Not to mention how expensive it is.
If they dropped their box meal system and let you just walk up and go "gimme 'x' pieces of...

There aren't a lot of options for fried chicken.
Popeyes is great fried chicken. Their biscuits suck though
