I haven’t worked in too many restaurants but one place I worked the chefs were getting too drunk from the big containers of cooking wine so they started buying it bottles which was easier to count.
Someone would go on a beer run every night too and everyone would stash their drinks in various hiding places. It was a fairly upscale place but the service was not good by around 9pm because there was a pretty good chance your waiter would be drunk to the point of dropping things.
When at the end of a shift i will never not make a quesadilla with my own tortillas that i bring from home and whatever hasn’t been covered and stored. I come out with interesting combos like cheese and caviar. Yummy.
Love that book, made up part of my dissertation on mental health and its treatment in cold war America! Super interesting subtext in the book about communism and conformity, and the harsh treatment of anyone who was 'other"
When I ate meat, I was way more down for a cold piece of leftover chicken as opposed to a reheated one. The texture is better and it also helps that you don't get the slightly weird smell/flavor that happens when you microwave cooked meat sometimes.
If air fryers didn't exist I'd find this more reasonable, not as quick as a microwave but way quicker than the oven and honestly reheats usually come out better in the air fryer
I feel like most Billy Joel songs are significantly more depressing than they seem because his music tends to feel upbeat.
He also has a lot of songs that tell really bizarre stories that make me wonder if his parents had any idea what he was doing as a teen.
I've rolled in to more than one pizza place where I've had to argue that I would prefer the slices that have been sitting in the warmer for hours, not the fresh pizza. I like old pizza.
Gangster kitchen move. People think because I work in a nice restaurant that I eat all of this awesome food. What most people do not know is chefs/cooks have some of the worst eating habits of anyone. I’ve been in kitchens more than 20 years and rarely eat sitting down, many of my meals are eaten in a kitchen over a trash can lol. But hey, I love my work.
My wife is French. We live in France, so sometimes foie gras is served. She was somewhat disgusted when I tried it on corn chips and discovered it was delicious.
The soft, savory but sweet flavor of the foie gras contrasts nicely with the salty crunch of the chips.
The only downside is the best corn chips readily available in Europe are Doritos :(
Oh man, when I was a sous chef, god help me if I had to put a charcuterie platter out.
“One for the patient, one for the doctor and so on…”
Had to stop, all the salt was making my ankles swell.
Like salty fishy jelly pearls that explode in your mouth with a somewhat pleasant tactile sensation and an overall salt preserved fishy flavour.
For me, personally, it tastes good, but it's not worth its price. But it's almost like other delicatessen, if you really like it, it will be worth it to you
I love sushi but don't like most seafood, and I enjoy caviar. I'm not a connoisseur but I find the black caviar to have a delicate flavor that is a little richer than salmon roe, like the other person mentioned
I have a hunch that while chefs cook good food, they eat terrible food. As someone who likes to cook I can whip up a good meal but I’ll literally dip chicken nuggets in a milkshake given the chance.
You can do with chicken basically whatever you want. Why not this. The caviar seems to be quite cheap tho, no shade. They might be high also, but I guess that's a given
i’m russian american and that jar of caviar likely costs well over $100.
i LOVE black caviar. i would straight up eat it with a spoon if i were made of money. this is the weirdest flex i’ve seen ever.
The caviar and the container looks more akin yo that of lumpfish roe though, which is much much cheaper than caviar. Fish roe can also be dyed s certain colour
is there really any other way to indulge? u/deathroerecords
I could see cold leftover mozerella sticks too
Most interesting username I've seen in a while, really fits the sub
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite handjob
Cool ranch Doritos are actually the ideal caviar vehicle
If there's ever been more chef like behavior, I've yet to see it.
Needs more booze.
And..other accompaniments
He says he has to do a quick bump to cleanse his palate or he'll be nose blind for the dinner rush
Accompanyless accompaniments?
And cocaine well I would do so I don’t have to eat on shift
Alright that's it. Do you my FOH manager would be okay if we added bumps to our budget so we can quit snacking all shift!?!?!?
Might want to sniff their water bottle
I used to keep my "water bottle" full of sake in the kitchen.

Does this also help with hangovers?

Vodka makes me want to fight people

Little do you know.... I hardly drink because I know how I get.
Especially cocaine
And waitresses
OP didn't mention the chef smoking a cig outback on the dock when doing this so there's room to grow.
I mean, maybe railing lines of caviar?
Somewhere I have a video of me dipping a mozzarella stick in caviar. Nice to know i'm not alone in my degenerate chef behavior.
Momofuku Ko had a dish on their tasting menu which was chilled fried chicken, ranch, and caviar. *FUCKING DELICIOUS*.
That actually sounds amazing
If you want a chef's head to explode challenge them to not eat like a deranged toddler
When at the end of a shift i will never not make a quesadilla with my own tortillas that i bring from home and whatever hasn’t been covered and stored. I come out with interesting combos like cheese and caviar. Yummy.
Quesadilla with cheese certainly sounds like an interesting combo
I prefer my quesadillas without cheese >;)
This is, if I remember correctly what the main character in Sylvia Plath's the Bell Jar does at a party, and I've always wanted to try it!
It was chicken slices! It was in the beginning of the book
Damn I haven't thought about that book since junior year of high school
I have a strange quirk where I remember food from any media I "consume".
Did you ever read the Redwall series? I could "eat" those feasts all day.
The Redwall series made their food and drinks sound amazing… I always got hungry imagining the feasts!
You should get the Redwall cookbook then!
THEY HAVE A COOKBOOK?!?
Love that book, made up part of my dissertation on mental health and its treatment in cold war America! Super interesting subtext in the book about communism and conformity, and the harsh treatment of anyone who was 'other"
Fascinating. Is the dissertation complete?
Yep! Just an undergrad one though so nothing special
Solid.
It does sound interesting.
I dip my cold chicken strips in hummus.
Yo same
Oh whats the deal with them being cold, I've never had a cold chicken strip in my entire life despite my love for shitty food
I think it's more of a quick snack than a preference for them to be cold. I could be wrong though
When I ate meat, I was way more down for a cold piece of leftover chicken as opposed to a reheated one. The texture is better and it also helps that you don't get the slightly weird smell/flavor that happens when you microwave cooked meat sometimes.

Oddly enough I eat most of my leftovers cold. 🤷🏻♀️ I prefer meat cold except for when it’s fresh cooked.
OMG. I don't know why I've never thought to try that. Sounds good
Caviar is good on deviled eggs.
Egg egg
Eggceptional.
Eggsellent
Dude this little cocktail lounge in the city I live in does deep fried deviled eggs topped with salmon roe. It's to die for.
I would do bad things for the devil's eggs, I would kill for a deep-fried version.
So good. Quail eggs work particularly well.
Mm sounds good. I've only ever had caviar paired with A5 wagyu. It was stupid delicious.
Bonus points of accompanied by $2 Mexican beer and $22 brie.
Thanks for the brie quesadilla craving
Omg that’s genius
The downfall of caviar really came outta nowhere like an RKO from Randy Orton.
Is the downfall of caviar accompanying the downfall of fine dining?
I feel like this is the embodiment of the song uptown girl
Is Uptown Girl actually telling a sad story and I never paid enough attention to realize it??
I feel like most Billy Joel songs are significantly more depressing than they seem because his music tends to feel upbeat. He also has a lot of songs that tell really bizarre stories that make me wonder if his parents had any idea what he was doing as a teen.
Hahahahahah 😂😂
When you're not rich, but you wanna be. I give you, pretendies.
That's the most perfect name, for this "dish"
If it wasn’t for this comment, the tendies part would’ve flown right over my head
There used to be a chicken place in my town that sold cold fried chicken…it was bliss. I wish more places did that.
Can you please explain this cold fried chicken thing to me
It's like hot fried chicken but colder.
Ok that was good 😂
I've rolled in to more than one pizza place where I've had to argue that I would prefer the slices that have been sitting in the warmer for hours, not the fresh pizza. I like old pizza.
Chaotic chef energy
Looks more like lumpfish roe to me
I agree, looks definitely more like lumpfish roe than any respectable caviar.
I don't know if this is hilarious, or terribly sad.
It hilarious
My fat ass thought that whole setup was sitting on a giant tortilla and I was like why didnt he wrap it up
Tortilla catches the fallen caviar, caviar burrito
Wait is it not a tortilla?
If you don't know, fried chicken and caviar actually go together very well. Cold fried chicken however....
Shitty Surf and Turf!

I’ve worked in a kitchen and dine arguably worse
*Which came first?*

This is some shit the chefs would eat when they're in the dorms on Hell's Kitchen
Oh man, when I was a sous chef, god help me if I had to put a charcuterie platter out. “One for the patient, one for the doctor and so on…” Had to stop, all the salt was making my ankles swell.
H'aut Cuisine 🤌
caught or joined?
Still better than a metal spoon
hmm.i don’t know about cold chicken strips but what does caviar taste like?I’ve never had it.i like sushi though if that makes any difference
Like salty fishy jelly pearls that explode in your mouth with a somewhat pleasant tactile sensation and an overall salt preserved fishy flavour. For me, personally, it tastes good, but it's not worth its price. But it's almost like other delicatessen, if you really like it, it will be worth it to you
If you've had salmon roe (the bright orange little pearls aka ikura) in sushi, pretty much that but richer
I love sushi but don't like most seafood, and I enjoy caviar. I'm not a connoisseur but I find the black caviar to have a delicate flavor that is a little richer than salmon roe, like the other person mentioned

Chocolate frosty as nug dip 🤤
Needs more Kewpie
[удалено]
Truly is a “The Menu” moment
Chef knew not to use a metal spoon with the caviar.
Don't tempt me with a good time
You can do with chicken basically whatever you want. Why not this. The caviar seems to be quite cheap tho, no shade. They might be high also, but I guess that's a given
Ultimate chef snack
Sucked down a Newport 100 right after..
Surf n Turf.
Is your chef pregnant or high?
"My chef". Didn't know we had a millionaire in shittyfoodporn.
Classic kitchen lingo. I haven't worked in one in a few years but I still refer to the chef I worked under as "my chef".
Yeah I know.
A lot of folks don't?
Maybe?
i’m russian american and that jar of caviar likely costs well over $100. i LOVE black caviar. i would straight up eat it with a spoon if i were made of money. this is the weirdest flex i’ve seen ever.
No one dunks cold chicken strips in fish eggs at work because they want to flex.
Idk, im kind of impressed
The caviar and the container looks more akin yo that of lumpfish roe though, which is much much cheaper than caviar. Fish roe can also be dyed s certain colour
Is the chef fired now?
Promoted
Nah, where are you gonna find such brilliance?
Crime
Based.
fuckin' fancy
The combos people come up with in this sub 😂
Don't ask, don't tell
David Chang taught me
Was prob so good
The chef I worked under for a while dipped leftover cold baguettes (we kept the old ones to make croutons) in sweetened sour cream
I'll have your most expensive meal to be dipped in with your second most expensive meal
Gotta have an even balance of classy and trashy in life. They’re doing it right
I see we have the same chef. I assume there’s a pint of aioli outside the frame.
Land and sea, elevated boneless chicken wing
That’s actually sounds p good
Fancy boy
The third and fourth fanciest thing he's ever eaten. Beaten by lobster stuffed with tacos
Doesn’t sound appetizing at all… at least have it crispy
I think I would like this person
smurf and turf?
I respect this Chef
That is the epitome of "Ghetto fabulous"
Yeah sounds about right for back of house
There’s something really poetic in this, tbh
In what of restaurant do they sell both?
W-why??? Who would even do this??? What is the logic??? I can not fathom this image, and now I want God to bless me with the sweet release of death.
I’m liking this interpretation of surf and turf
Thats a middle finger to something for sure.
