Chef Jeremy Fox on how he got his knife skill Anonymous Wed Nov 8 00:43:36 2017 No.9662969 [Reply] [Original]

"Everyday, for about three months, I went to the store, got five pounds of potatoes, sometimes ten, and just practiced dicing, doing a perfect dice, and made home fries, like O'Brien potatoes, for everyone in my dorm.

"And, I did that repeatedly, I did that a lot, religiously, I would just make home fries every day, and that got me a lot better. Just repetition and speed.

"As time went on, I got faster and better at it."

So, are you going to get a bag of potatoes tomorrow and start dicing?

You never know with these spergs. Apparently avocados are trendy, szechuan food was invented by reddit, and not knowing how to cook is for "the feminazis", so for all we know "made some friends in his dorm" means, specifically, gave blow jobs in exchange for peanut oil, in 4chan-speak.

I used to chop up potatoes and make chips for my dorm buddies (well not really buddies but they ate them) all the time

At the time was just being nice but now I realize I could have been training for a job where I make fries 12 hours a day in a hot kitchen instead of a software engineer

If you've ever chopped an onion or see anyone chop an onion or seen someone in a movie chop an onion you would know crying is associated with chopping onions. It was an opportunity for a joke or a possible trick to avoid crying which the chef didn't take.

Or it's just a bad product, thing had to come apart into like 3 or 4 pieces to be washed properly. Also, how are you going to sharpen those blades? At one point he didn't put the potato in quite right and it got stuck he had to pull it out with a fork and when he put it through normally he ended up with a bunch of potato shrapnel because of the conflicting cuts.
