Wouldn't have been so bad had he connected to the city sewer instead of septic and resist using stuff from the gig for wacky mascot characters.

Also, the Big Chief Sourtoe didn't help either.

I mean, the wacky mascot costumes were one thing, but combining animatronics and human taxidermy just smacked of poor decisionmaking

Clear ice is p easy to make if you just freeze it in like a Coleman cooler in the walk-in, but then you have to melt off the bottom part with all the bubbly impurities after and then chip / carve the remainder of your cooler-shaped ice block.

Total change of topic:

Any suggestions on getting that kitchen smell out of clothes? I'm inured to it at this point, but my husband said "JD, you REALLY have to wash that coat". Just from hanging up in the kitchen, my army coat I've been wearing all winter indeed reeks of fryer oil. I've already run it thru the wash twice (yay free laundry in my apartment bldg), but it still has a distinct aroma of fried food all up in it.

Fake edit: just saw your post while previewing this one, empty whippet box. Good on you! I'm legit happy for you. :)

Oxyclean actually works surprisingly well. Vodka and vinegar also - something about breaking up the bonds blah blah blah. It's probably cheapest to just use vinegar, drink the vodka, and mock Oxyclean though

Mix a little of whatever multi purpose solution you're not allergic to into your washing machine. Once it gets full of water turn it off and let everything soak for 20 minutes or so, then turn it back on and enjoy your sort of clean work clothes!

That reminds me - oxyclean won't do poo poo on bloodstains that have set, it'll only make them darker. And if you overuse it it can make the fabric brittle, leaving it prone to tearing and fit for nothing more than burning in the evidence barrel trash pit in the backyard.

For microwaves, probably the Sharp or Panasonic commercial models. I mean, if they're good enough for 7-11, they can probably handle a kitchen. As for waffle makers... Be careful with Waring, since the "pro" models aren't really suited for restaurant-scale baking. I'd check what the carnies are using, honestly.

An actual Waring Commercial waffle iron, or one of the old Waring Pros from before they changed the branding to Cuisinart? :^

So has anyone else heard people talking recently about how you can be bartending because you're tending bar but somehow you can't "bartend" because that's supposedly improper English? Or some mix of "bartender", "bartending", "tending bar" and so on. gently caress 'em, they're all valid English and these people are getting incorrectly angsty about English from some meme probably.

I mean it's descriptivism vs prescriptivism in the English language; the former says "this is the way people are using the language now, therefore this is what the words mean" where the latter is "this is what the words have historically meant, so this is how they should be used"

yeah I majored in English and I'm posting in the restaurant industry thread

personally I subscribe to the school of "i don't give a fucktivism", where i don't give a gently caress unless I'm being paid to do so

or if someone is saying "would of", those fuckers can die in a fire

Today we were told that a food photographer would be in between 2 and 4 (so of course they showed up at noon, wtf) to take pictures of two of our signature biscuits. I figured it was some low rent blogger, nbd, but I still dropped the 3 most gorgeous pieces of chicken ever for their glamour shot.

Turns out it was for United Airlines' in-flight magazine. It's not the NYT or anything, but I'm kinda chuffed that people around the world might see a picture of my chicken while bored on the tarmac.

And I wish Sandwich Anarchist still had his airport job, so I could get a copy. :(

I mean you could probably call or email United's customer service line, they'd probably be happy to send you a copy and to have a call where people aren't yelling at them over cancellations, delays, or lost luggage
