/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>13458816
One of these days I'm going to get the $12 party nacho box and instantly regret it, but for now nothing beats the $1 nachos with onions.

Idk about your job but i stock dairy overnight at a sipermarket. The night of january 1st was literally the most ridiculously fucked up ive ever seen the aisle. Its like people literally filled up a shopping cart of shit just to scatter in my section before literally just switching what shelves items went on, and pushing shit around. Idk what happened lol but at least I was alone in the department. My coworker is so dumb he ends up creating more work. I then reheated my pot roast (didnt get the hang of pot roast yet) so it was only ok

>>13458816
Burger looks ok I think. Alcohol is bad for you

Did TB ever reply to your xbox inquiries?

>>13458871
You are correct on both points.
>>13458873
"no" ;_;

>>13458816
You don’t need all that food. Fat pig

Show your books faggot

>>13458816
Someone should shove that jar of pickles up your faggot ass, and then beat you to death with a claw-hammer.

Did you do anything special on this first Friday of the new decade?

NOT NEW DECADE YET! One more year to go.

>Internship at a restaurant
>Closed on 1st and 2nd January
>Yesterday (the 3rd) I send a message to rhe chef, asking wether I had to go that evening
>"Ask the manager, I don't work there anymore"

Nice start for this year

Did you flunk grade school?

Maybe he's punk? Or a pedo roleplayer? Gotta give a man the benefit of the doubt.

>>13458816
You eat the same thing every day, and a lot of it. I'd get bored with that.

>>13460013
I never considered this option. From my brief research estrogen pills can increase hunger and general caloric consumption. This may explain the constant large meals this poster seems to ingest. Very possible.

>>13459347
Decades are not centuries. We have always called decades "the 50s" "the 60s" "the 80s" "the 90s" and so on. It's a colloquial term to group together all the years that share a number in the tens place. The argument people are referencing only applies to centuries, like the "20th century" or the "21st century" which are actually supposed to be something specific and mathematical. But even then it's stupid.

MUSH WAGIES, MUSH

>>13458816
Sucks to be you anon. My first Friday of the new year went great. Walked into to work to find that the tin treatment was done, the TOC treatment was almost done and I had a fresh cobalt treatment to deal with. Finally got the cobalt treated (took some tinkering to get it right) and did a large chrome treatment as well. Celebrated by stopping off at McDicks to take advantage of their 2 for $5 deal and enjoyed some 100 proof vodka.

>>13460185
>mcdick
>2 for $5
That's no deal, and you're the only one being taken advantage of.

When I was drunk last night this thread made me want to try those double decker tacos so bad. Now it's making me realize that my life is spiraling out of control like an autistic puppet on the Mad Hatter's tea cups

>>13460334
It's not like anyone expected anything of you anyway anon. Just drink yourself to death, what's the problem?

>>13460334
They're really nothing special. It's just nice to have a $1 taco at Taco Bell. You can skip the nacho crunch one, which is literally, "hey, we put a hard taco shell in your soft taco, you know what would make this even better? More fucking tortilla chips".

>>13458816

Damn, you people are hungry af when you cook burgers, eat nachos and takis, and drink vodka.

There's even another thread going on about eating eggs for breakfast and how THAT slows you down during the day.

>Tfw Oatmeal Chad for Breakfast

>>13460438
Oatmeal is gross.

>>13460443
Backing this.

>>13460446
>>13460443

Fuck off you two

>>13460511
Fuck off? How about you fuck on buddy.

>>13460519
Backing this.

>>13460519

Fuck on? How about you fuck yourself buddy.

>>13458887
>you don't need
You could say that about 99% of everything you consume. Do you consume meat and/or animal products? Yes? Well guess what, you don't need to; you could literally be a vegan fag Right Now. Why would you choose not to be a vegan fag?

>>13459347
It's 2020, dude. We're in the 20's.

>>13460029
Better than this guy >>13460438 who eats fucking oatmeal every day.

>>13458816
Do you make that exact same burger every day?

>>13461557
It's usually a little different.

>>13461608
do the people at taco bell know you yet

>>13463641
I go to 3 different locations, and 9 out of 10 times they know me at 2 of them. When you order using the app they have your name... It was after I went to my main location once and heard multiple people scream, "it's anon!" over the intercom that I started spreading it out to 3 locations. But yeah, most nights they just automatically put fire sauce in the bag.

>>13464082
Forgot pic. Just got home and have been hitting the car flask pretty hard. Will update with tonight's feast.

>>13458816
Ever had all your prep cooks quit and then 3 of your cooks quit on a thursday?
Ever had to work 14+ hours 6 days a week with 4 other guys for 6 weeks?
During the buildup and height of the busy season?
In a store that does 65k in revenue a week?
Ever made a paycheck bigger than the overpaid (by GM salary standards) GM?

No?
Then shut the fuck up and take your licks, newfag, however long you've been doing this and only now you found a small taste of the real job.
If you can't handle it without drugs on the job and if you need copedrugs after you're not cut out to cook.
You disgust me get the fuck off my line, help the dishwasher, you're slowing him down go home and come back tomorrow with a smile.
Faggot.

>>13458871
>burger looks ok
It was not only overcooked by 30 seconds on the bottom side, it was pressed to finish faster.
Have some standards you filthy mutt.

>>13459251
I concur.

>>13459499
>internship
>stage'ing for food work
You already failed. I'd never hire you, I'd look at your resume for humor.

>>13464146
Kek. I've gotten raped on the line too many times to count, and know exactly how good I am. It takes me about 5 minutes to know if a new guy is better than me, and I give respect where respect is due, but I have absolutely zero insecurity about my ability to hold my own. High volume =/= harder work; usually it's the opposite because each station is more specialized.

Worked as a bartender this friday. Was as shitty as you could expect, barely had any customers, and made 0 tips

AMA

>>13458816
At what age were you diagnosed with autism anon? I knew my brother was off when we were growing up but my parents ignored the signs. He had a breakdown in his early 20's. I hope you are getting good mental help.

>>13464193
How many dicks do you suck to make rent, barnon?

>>13464163
65K a week isn't "just high volume", that's 80% from-scratch selling $200 4-tops.

However good you think the cooks you've met are, I know you have no idea how much effort and pain it takes 5 men to do that for a month and a half.

>>13458816
>burger is pink on inside.
its not cooked fully are you idiots serious? can't believe you would eat that.

>>13464202
Luckily i live in Denmark as a student, got enough SU to pay my rent and moreso, however i got a shit pay

>>13458816
>40% of our staff gone
are you staffed by trannies?

>>13464205
its how americans take their burgers

>>13464202
>80% from-scratch selling $200 4-tops
Why are you making assumptions about me on an anonymous image board? You know nothing about me other than that I get drunk after work and eat a lot of Taco Bell. I've never worked in a Michelin star place with an insane/abusive chef; unless you have there isn't really that much you can say that I haven't been through or would be phased by.

>>13464233
I've never worked in a Michelin star place yet I have worked in multiple places that are 80-90% food sale income pulling >50K a week. I've worked in multiple 1.8-2.5 million dollar a year restaurants.

>You know nothing about me other than
I know (at least) three things about you:
You're a defensive pussy when confronted.
You've got an online persona ego twice as big as your cock head and three times bigger than you deserve.
I have a fractured lower spine and I can still outwork you and make you rethink your life.

Hell for all I know I'm younger than you and made at further than you will. But let's not get into insults, I wouldn't want you to motivate yourself and take charge of your job.

>>13458816
Why do you order the exact same shit every single night? Do you have autism?

>>13464246
>You're a defensive pussy when confronted
All I said was that I'm un-fazed when some anon questions my ability/experience; I know exactly how good I am, and that I can hold my own.
>You've got an online persona ego twice as big as your cock head and three times bigger than you deserve
I literally said that I know almost immediately when someone is better than me (irl) and give respect where respect is due.
>I have a fractured lower spine and I can still outwork you and make you rethink your life
Now you're just being a tryhard and projecting; it's cool that you're "disabled" and still come into work, but you don't know me.

In any case, here's tonight's haul.

>>13464277
>>13464276
It's literally the same shit bar one item or so LMFAO. How can someone eat the exact same garbage every single night for months on end?

>>13464277
>I know exactly how good I am
Wrong
>I can hold my own
Wrong
>I know almost immediately when someone is better than me
Which is why you don't know how good you are, AKA, Wrong.
>give respect where respect is due
You hold yourself back from learning to be as good as the others, and pussy out on one upping them, AKA you're wrong.
>tryhard and projecting
Bilateral Pars Interarticularis fracture of the L5 vertebrae, advancing into Spondylolisthesis.
>"disabled" and still come into work
I never said I'm "disabled". Work is literally making my body worse every day.
I said I can outwork you, period, for the rest of our lives, regardless of how bad I get physically.
>you don't know me
I'm new here but /ck/ seems to know you quite well, and from what I gather you deserve to read these things.
>In any case
You need to stop fucking around and focus on the job and the work.

>>13464298
You're clearly just trolling at this point. You should follow this anon's lead >>13464289
and attack me on eating the same shit every night instead of pretending like you're a better cook, based on absolutely nothing.

>>13464325
>pretending
I know I'm a better chef than you are a cook. I've earned the title and do the job, while you still call yourself, just a cook.

>>13464328
>I've earned the title and do the job, while you still call yourself, just a cook
Fucking cringe. I can't tell you how many people who put, "executive chef" on their resumes have come and gone. Titles don't mean shit; get on the line with me and I'll know exactly how much or how little respect you deserve. Not that it even matters, but I'm a salaried sous chef, and the chef-owner is barely even in the kitchen - but I'm not a pretentious fag so usually just tell people I'm a cook, even though I basically run the BoH.

>>13464346
Fucks sake the shit it takes to make you stop posting nasty Taco Bell pictures.

>>13464349
Forgot image.

>>13464352
Alright, since you want to play games reposting re-crops of retarded food filth.

I'm a Director of Dining Services for a big name corporation wealthy-old-folks care facility. I get paid 85K a year to manage what are essentially Sous Chefs with a fancier title.
My job is to tell you knowitalls the how, what and why of our 5-week service cycle.
I craft the menus for 2 main kitchens, a catering and banquet service, 2 different theme cafes, and a bar lounge. I implement and enforce the cleanliness standard for over 70 employees that I know all by name. I log and track almost two million dollars of raw materials received versus expenditures.
I'm responsible for the upscale service we provide to over 350 residents.
My job is to tear you apart for every little thing that goes wrong.
My job is to make sure dirty little kitchen pirates stay out. My job means your resume looks like the basic qualifier. My job means your drug-addled personal crew are vetted with security checks and real references.

And since we're being honest, I got this job through my sheer tenacity, intelligence, and hard work by the age of 30. Experienced well known DDS's recognized me for my no-bullshit attitude and now I'm set to be a regional by next year.

Now go ahead and tell me something about yourself champ.

>>13464385
>old-folks care facility
Stopped reading there. Nursing homes are where people go to die, including cooks.

>>13464389
>I can't let myself keep reading because the truth bruises my ego
Typical of an off the street Sous "Chef"
I've denied employment to better men than you.

>>13464391
The owners are the ones who do the interviews and decide who to let stage, but I'm the one who trains, vets, and ultimately decides if they stay on - and the one who tells them they're not right. I've terminated 3 guys in the past two months who spouted the exact same bullshit you keep repeating. Again: you work in a nursing home. That is where people go to die.

>>13464395
And we make a lot of money letting them die.
And we provide a damn fine service while it happens.

It's the opposite of deserving mockery. These people are getting what they deserve to have as they age out. Since we both are at a relatively high level of the service field, you know what it takes to make them all happy.

>you work in a nursing home
Nursing homes are for the poor idiots that didn't save money and/or didn't have a good career.
A place like I work at is for practically rich old folks that want comfort as they pass.

>>13464407
>you know what it takes to make them all happy
I've worked (briefly) in a nursing home. It's basically either any salt is too much salt, or unless the dish is 50% salt they can't taste it. Other than that it's shit like, "the coffee is too hot". And I worked at a place where they left their kids millions of dollars to take care of them. Nursing homes are shady as fuck and people stop caring about the quality of the food when they're serving dementia patients 3 meals a day.

>>13464419
>I worked at a low-rent piece of shit and that defined the entire industry
You're cute, kid.

>>13464421
Nursing homes are for lazy chefs who can't get a job teaching at culinary school.

>>13464425
Culinary school pays like shit compared to what I do and there's no career path.

>>13464427
>no career path
60k a year with benefits and zero stress, weekends and summers off, is pretty much the best you can expect as an endgame if you didn't go into culinary nutrition or food science. Have fun working 60+ hour weeks with a broken back, though.

>>13464435
I make more and spend 80% of my time in the office. Already told you I'm on track to replace an outgoing regional by next year. Christ you have a shit memory.

>>13464106
>kosher

>>13464441
I have a certain amount of respect for someone who can manage a large kitchen, but that doesn't mean you can cook. I've worked with half a dozen nursing home "chefs" and they're almost always, without fail, pretentious nincompoops who failed at everything else they tried until they realized they could be the boss for a bunch of bottom of the barrel cooks who cook for a bunch of people who lack functioning taste buds. I'm glad you're doing well for yourself, honestly, but I don't think I could put up with the stench.

>>13464460
>blah blah blah I'm a gay nigger blah blah jealousy blah blah superiority complex
Calm down Dennis Reynolds you can take your implications somewhere else.

>>13464468
>i'm a gay nigger
Took you long enough to show your true colors.

>>13464470
Uh, anon, I was quoting you.

>>13464471
>jobs that are needed to be done will go undone because the minim-wage went up

What a retard.

>>13464478
>missing the point entirely
Behold, the common Sous Chef

>>13464471
Who were you quoting exactly?

>>13464478
>jobs that are needed to be done will go undone
What makes you think they need you?

>>13458907
There nothing more cucked than raising a daughter.
>*Hits pipe*.

>>13464675
>Retard that thinks that if he kisses corporate boots and works for pennies, they won't replace him with a computer program that works for free.

The only thing stopping a machine from replacing you is that it's still being built. The moment it's ready, you're done. Demanding a living wage right now won't make that moment come any sooner, because corporations already have all the incentive they'll ever need to kick you ass out on the street.

>>13458816
That looks good mate. I hope you enjoyed your night.

>>13464454
It's a type of pickle, dum dum.

>>13464675
Machines are never going to replace cooks.

>>13460185
What do you do for work

>>13464146
Why do you cooks always think you're so tough/badass? No one thinks the various difficulties you face in the kitchen makes you some battle-hardened tough guy, so drop the bullshit. This dude is allowed to vent about his night even if it wasn't as bad as the worst you've gone through, you obnoxious ass turbo faggot. I couldn't stand cocksmokers like you when I worked in a kitchen. By the way, your "badass" job is an absolute fucking joke compared to what ironworkers, steamfitters, boilermakers, and other metal working trades do, so you don't even have the right to talk all hard in the first place. Get over your lame ass self.

>>13464385
Jesus christ. You might be one of the biggest faggots to ever post anything on the internet, let alone 4chan. You've got to be a troll; the alternative is too depressing...especially the part where you were bragging about making 85k and the whole "the buck stops with me!" attitude.

>>13464385

haha what a fucking loser i make over $130k per year as a chef at wendy's with a 9 inch cock imao

>>13460401

add sour cream and beans to it and it's amazing

>>13468345
>>13468392
They act tough because the job is easy. It's so fucking easy a guy who doesn't speak English and has never held a knife before can walk into a kitchen anywhere in the US and get a job the same day. They talk about their "hours" without including the time they spend cleaning, like that's some great challenge. The amount of time cooks spend actually cooking is tiny and if you ask me they get paid too much. Fuck, I have more respect for the waiters who are forced to server the slop produced by these morons. Fuck Bourdain and all those pansy scumbags who talked up being a line cook as though it was the same as being a soldier. I think fundamentally, they know they're doing women's work, and that makes them insecure in their masculinity so they over compensate by pretending to be badasses.

>>13464385
lmao self righteous faggot I’m a chef at mcdicks making 250k a year with a 90 foot cock

>>13468026
I work second shift at a hazardous waste treatment facility.

>>13468696
They're essentially a hard shell taco, so there's only so much you can add since hard shell tacos only accommodate a little over half of what they can shove into a soft shell.

Here's tonight's haul. It's kind of a roller coaster of highs and lows.

damn op you sure know how to live

>>13469365
Obligatory dollar nachos add onions, blurry edition.
>>13469370
Thanks, anon. Could you believe that almost a decade ago I was seriously considering getting married and having kids? Lol; just imagine living with a 4th grader in 2020, and also being responsible for them.

>>13469428
I got an Amazon Prime free trial for the holidays and have been going a bit crazy with it - which is why there's all this new shit in the background - and got these whiskey books tonight. Just finished leafing through the, "101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die" and was honestly surprised that I've had 19 of them.

>>13469469
Anon complains that I make the same burger every night, but I've yet to see a burger here that looks better than mine - and we were low on arugula tonight so I had to cut it with fucking baby spinach.

>>13469541
I was in another thread were anon was talking about whiskey sours, and I'd realized I don't think I'd ever had a whiskey sour. I saw this shelf stable lemon juice for $3 and remembered that I wanted to try one, and instantly regretted the purchase. Fortunately I held back buying the simple syrup from the same brand; I'm lazy and bad with money, but not to the point where I can't boil water and sugar myself. I also wanted to buy some marachino cherries just because, but the only brand they had was Luxardo, which are like $20 for a tiny jar. It's nice that we have access to nice things, but what is the world coming to when that's your only option?
