He must be doing something right because god drat they make some good chicken tenders, best in the fast food business probably.

Is this something that changes across the Mississippi river? I heard this spoken like gospel by a friend who visiting the chain when over in Georgia or SC and when I went to the Raising Canes out in SoCal their chicken tenders were like a drier, less flavorful version of Carl's Jr.

I've got a wierd question that came my way.

A friend wants to hire a chef to cook for them on vacation, two meals a day for four weeks.

What do you charge for a service like that? Hourly? flat rate? Who pays for the food?

Brandy does in fact, in my experience, contribute to Getting Down.
They pay for food, and I'd charge $60/meal. If they want a live in chef for a month, then it gets pricier, like $1k/wk.

Iirc there is some service like Lyft but for chefs, just do t remember the name of it. Last time I looked it was a bunch of soccer mom's who had taken a course at Whole Foods trying to charge $50 a meal.

Is there a better way to store live mussels than a perf pan in a bigger one with wet towels? Like would they do better in a cambro of salt water? The owner won't let me keep them off the menu but we sell alllllllmost as many as die in the cooler.

Get in the vac packed mussels, those actually hold relatively well and don't completely taste like garbage.

Otherwise no, perf pan on top of some ice is about all you can do.

A lot of people who use UberEats are drunk and/or stoned and are either too lazy or inebriated to drive or cook. I know a guy who was notorious for this for awhile, he'd order dinner every night for 4-5 nights before checking to see how much he was spending.

quote:

Another employee, a former Domenica waitress who asked to remain anonymous, said she complained multiple times over two years about a male colleague who made sexual comments and showed her inappropriate photos.

"He would say, 'Hey, you want to see a picture of a baby's arm?' And he'd show you and it would be his penis," the woman said. The woman, who quit Domenica just before her first child was born in 2015, said the same man repeatedly asked for her breast milk "because he wanted to drink it."

Eventually, the woman and others at the restaurant complained to management, said the woman and another former Domenica waitress, Allison Consoli.

Consoli estimated it was one of four times she herself tried to file an official complaint about the same male worker with Domenica's managers. That doesn't include the time Consoli said two superiors stood and watched the man harass her to the point of near tears without intervening.

Asked what the coworker said that made her cry, Consoli replied, "He'd always talk about anal sex with me or using toys on me or me being a 'backdoor beauty.' It was along those lines, but I don't remember exactly what he said. There were so many things, it's hard to pinpoint exactly what it was that time."

quote:

The woman filed her EEOC complaint against BRG in December, shortly after she severed ties with the company. In an attachment to her EEOC intake questionnaire, she described a "long-term unwelcome sexual relationship" with Besh that began when she was 24, in the summer of 2015. In the EEOC complaint, the woman alleged Besh worked to "coerce" her "to submit to his sexual overtures" on work-related trips.

The complaint said during the same 2015 California trip in which the woman alleged Besh came to her hotel room and had sex with her, he also "insisted on staying in her room at a hotel in Beverly Hills" one night, and that she "stay with him at his hotel in Culver City" the next two nights.

The woman's complaint said in a trip to Austin, in September 2015, Besh came to her room and "continued to attempt to coerce (her) to submit to his sexual overtures." In a trip to New York in October 2015, "after repeated pressure from JBesh to 'say you love me,' JBesh brought (her) back to his hotel and insisted she stay with him during the trip," the woman's complaint said. The document added: "From that time until at least May 2016, JBesh continued to expect (her) to stay in his hotel room and engage in a sexual relationship."

According to the complaint, the woman felt "overwhelmed and intimidated by JBesh's power, and she worked in a corporate culture that suggested (she) was expected to keep JBesh 'happy' so he could continue to cook 'happy' food."

The personal allegations are serious, but the rot alleged in the article is pretty extensive throughout the company which may be even more ruinous.

He claims he got fired for going to the newspaper and complained before about not having an HR department. But seems like convenient timing considering Anderson’s article isn’t exactly flattering toward Alon either. I could imagine the EEOC investigations and other problems being part of what made him leave, though.

Also he is trying to buy Shaya so has a vested interest in decreasing its value while also separating himself from BRG.

It doesn't matter how many times I explain that being a line cook is NOT the same as being a chef, my mother insists on telling everyone I am, along with a few other people in my life. While it's probably not true for other people, I've found that whether or not people care about being accurate and not mocking me and the profession with the ol pat on the head "Oh but honey, you're a chef to meeee." garbage is a good metric for whether people actually give a poo poo about you as a person or they just want to say their son/whatever is a ~*Chef*~ at dinner parties to tray to make themselves look good. They are also generally the same people who feel that it's okay to come in to my place of work to chit chat in the middle of rush and then act hurt when you can't drop everything to have lunch with them.
