the first season had a great actor who was basically playing peter thiel, super autist CEO finance type but the actor died so the character disappeared. the burger king bit with the cicada cycles was incredible.
no i'm really not interested in the chef life, it's 60-80 hour weeks wrangling retards and i'll just punch in and do my job and make my hourly wage. i'm working on other stuff while i wagie anyway.
sometimes i've taken jobs in low quality places because i just needed a job at the time. i actually just put in my notice at one. i do like the active nature of the job and making things that people enjoy and just being around food and tasting things constantly, and when you are in a good kitchen it can be very pleasant. i fucking hate a lot of the customers though, the attitude about 'i get to customize anything i order because i can afford to pay 27 dollars for an entree' seems to get worse and worse year by year. and yes we should aspire to make the customer happy but it's almost at the point where why do we even write a menu instead of just having a list of ingredients...actually this happened at a (((private))) club i was at, the sous and the exec decided before the season started that they were just going to offer proteins with choices of sides. they offered entree specials on fri-sat nights and i seriously think every time we sold one of them it had some kind of substitution on it. there are some people who can't seem to just pick an item off the menu without having to tweak something about it. places like starbucks and chipotle cater to this kind of nonsense and honestly i don't see the trend stopping any time soon.
oh btw working in kitchens is a big reason why i'm a fascist.
yeah i mean it's fine to put warm sauce directly into the cooler with some considerations for the size of the container and the size of the cooler but never with the fucking lid on or it's going to be in the temperature danger zone for way too long. and it's easy to tell if some dumbshit has done this because the lid will be dripping with condensation the morning after. preferred method would be into an icebath or with an ice wand in the container for a larger batch of shit or in containers that are much wider than they are tall.
it's a hollow plastic bat filled with water that you store in the freezer and put into a large container or sauce or soup to speed cooling. ideally you want stuff out at room temp until it is about 130F and then move to an ice bath or your snow covered porch or uncovered in your fridge until it gets to 43F. for a home fridge i'd honestly wait until it's closer to like 80-100F because it's easier to overwhelm a residential cooler with a sizable hot mass.
and also you aren't getting sick from your food constantly so something to consider when evaluating when an otherwise nice place gets a stupidly low score.
i mean biden didnt raise the frd rate or create the 0 percent rate conditions. he does seem to be set up to be holding the bag when this happens though . i would feel bad for him if he knew where he was.
yes this was around the time that i decided the crypto bullrun was in a mania phase. the 2nd btc runup later that year surprised me but lol it was fake.
he's done some of the best investigative finance journalism i've seen in recent memory and he is good at keeping his content engaging. i wish him the best in everything.
