What's the matter? Are you so autistic that you can't handle any deviation from what's written on the menu?

I hate service staff.

I hate when cooks bitch about this.
Wait until you close to start cleaning.

>>5514657
>confirmed for never working in a kitchen or how they work

>>5514671

I work in a kitchen, and cooks start cleaning before close because either they want to get out earlier or management is riding them to get out earlier.

>>5514675
> not cleaning whenever you can

>>5514675
Who in their right mind thinks that wasting a couple hundred bucks on labour is necessary so server Q can squeeze in an after-close sale is a good thing? Cooks start cleaning before close so nobody has to wait around 2 hours while they clean shit they could have finished before close?

>>5514679

>>5514676

>>5514684

Or they could -- and I know this is crazy -- help the cooks clean.

Not a cook or chef but I will green text a story that made me want to cry.

>Go to 5 star restaurant with some of my family. Very expensive.
>I order venison loins
>Sisters order venison loins
>Mother orders filet mignon
>Every has their meat cooked well done
>I have my venison cooked medium rare.
>Server asks my actual autistic sister how she wants her venison.
>She stutter's
>V-v-ery well done
>Server looks upon her in disbelief.
>Dumb bitch doesn't realize the difference between well done and burning a piece of meat beyond belief
>Leave restaurant in shame
>Never coming back

Remind me to never dine out at $55/plate restaurants with plebs

>>5514699
I know that feel, man.
>every time we go out we go to a really nice restaurant, like one of those places where dishes can cost well over $200
>family would always order steaks well done, I would always get rare
>years later, get culinary arts diploma, get super awesome job at a great restaurant
>finally convince family that I learned in a class that eating meat rare or medium rare won't kill you
>they've been having it rare to medium ever since

>>5514632

> pizza
> replace crust with bread
> replace pepperoni with roast beef
> replace sauce with mustard
> extra cheese
> bread on top

If you want a roast beef sandwich, go to a sandwich shop.

> but the customer is always right

We don't even have fucking roast beef in house, Jesus fuck.

>>5514657

How about not being a dipshit? Don't tell the kitchen you're closing the dining room if you're not actually closing the dining room. It isn't fucking difficult.

>>5514646
If the closing time is 10, don't fucking close the kitchen until right at 10. I used to work with some people who would start cleaning shit 30 minutes early and get all asspained when somebody came in for a to go order 10 minutes before close because they already packed up and cleaned everything. Fucking ass clowns, every other night they'd have to do twice as much work because somebody came in a little before close after they cleaned everything. Then they gave me shit because I wouldn't clean the grill and essentials until we closed.

I say you keep the kitchen open until exactly when it is supposed to close, then you politely turn away anybody and everybody after that and start cleaning.

>>5514881
>I've got some anecdotal evidence that says that these guys I know determined the universal standard for restaurants! Everyone is an idiot because of these guys I know!!!!!!!

>>5516071
you're a faggot for replying

wow

such investment

much upset

>>5516072
Let me tell you something you fucking retard, people like me have their shit together and when some dumb slut walks up to me and BEGS me for my attention to voice some customer's plea for their spin on MY menu, I quote a price. First, I consider my foodcosts. Then, I consider my labor, which is how much I think *I* am worth, as well as the prep cooks for the time it took them to prep the meal for me. T%HEN I consider how much costs to have my restaurant's name associated with it. That's when I list whatever price I realistically want to put this pile of shit on a plate and trust some airheaded slut to not drop it on the way out the door. I honestly feel bad for you having to deal with bad customers but if you don't shut you're mouth I'm going to put a cooler full of my favorite snacks into my affordable car and drive however many state lines and side of the road jobs I feel like crossing will stop me from personally ruining your part time job at an incorporated sports bar and personally feeding you your own shit

>>5516050

it's just a pain in the arse. You're used to making a thing a certain way, so having to make an altered version just breaks your flow.

Bitches about whinging. Has a whinge.

Hey Doc since youre reattaching my arm why not just Jax it up and give me a robotic one. I am paying you for this service after all.

>>5517016
That makes absolutely no sense in the context of this conversation. You're retarded.

>>5516059
you'd be surprised

I have this shitty recipe blog where I wrote a few steak recipes and specified that they're best eaten rare, or medium rare and so many people flipped a shit and said they'd rather not get food poisoning

>>5514565

yes, this makes sense, hooters is not a restaurant

>>5517032

>cooks=doctors
no wonder you're a chef

>>5517010
I'm not saying you can't do it. I'm just saying I don't like it. It makes my job harder. Plus, slowing down the kitchen means everyone else has to wait longer for their food.
You can't sub in more expensive shit and still pay the same price either, which people try to do annoyingly often. Yes, we're going to fucking charge you to sub the salad for antipasto, don't bitch about it.

>>5517033
pizza is fast food m8

>>5517045
it's a fucking metaphor. Do you not know what those are?

>>5517051
youre not making any sense. pizza isnt fast food and neither is hooters

>>5517056
no its not its an analogy dipshit, and one that very clearly reveals how fucking stupid whoever came up with it is

>>5517059
do you even have a job?

>>5514646
Im sorry your job is to make fucking money for your company not clean sure every resturant has a last call time but who cares if some customers order food that 5 dollars they made or whatever pays for the 10 minutes of labour used to re clean your station stop being a whiny bitch and git guud faggot

>>5517066
He didn't say he'd refuse to serve them. He just said it's a fucking pain in the arse. Jesus, you fucking autists can't wait to bitch at people with actual fucking jobs.

Fuck, are you this fucking smug and insufferable in real life?

>>5514632
I don't know about that guy, but at least half of the menu where I work was written by me (other half by the owners) and I don't like when customers fuck with my creations. I TASTES BETTER the way I designed it. Trust the damn chef!

>>5517051
I work at a nice restaurant and we have "pizza". But it's on a grilled flatbread I make myself. Last night's pizza toppings were black mission fig, chevre, buckboard bacon, and balsamic reduction. And I change it nightly. It's on the appetizer menu for $11 and served on a long rectangle plate.

So there's pizza and there's pizza.

You need at least two years of good industry work before CIA will even take you. CIA is the best school in the world. I went to WCI back in '99 right after high school, but my real education was in kitchens. It does pay to have that to fall back on though. I command more money because I learned a lot more at school than line cooking, which makes me valuable to restaurants because I can write and cost menus, train and teach, and pair wines, etc.

>>5513718
What's wrong with thin crust pizza with extra sauce?

>>5517061
It isn't. It's just a normal dish. It's neither fast to make nor are the ingredients pre-cooked.

>>5513718

Just know that I know that feel, bro. Solidarity.

I don't cook any more, so I can just give it to you straight. I worked at Spiaggia in Chicago, a 1 Michelin-starred Italian restaurant. We had this ridiculous wagyu from the top prefecture in Kobe. $140 dollar steak or whatever, 6 or 8 oz portion. Anyway, some fuckass sends their plate back. It wasn't the temperature, it wasn't the seasoning-- no, it was that the beef was too fatty.

Bitch, didn't you know that you were ordering the most marbled meat on the planet?

>>5518215
I'm not going to refute your claim that you are worth more because you went to CIA, but I will argue that just because one goes to CIA doesn't guarantee that they will be worth a damn as a chef. It's anecdotal, but I've worked with CIA graduates who were failures as cooks and have seen failure restaurants opened by CIA graduates.
I think that a savvy restauranteur knows this when hiring a chef. Sure the certificate looks good, but after all, you did just pay for it.
FC and menu planning is something that is learned fairly easily on the fly. It's also relative to your clientele. That is to say, you can plan a 5* menu and run it at a 20% FC, but are you going to be able to sell it? Are you going to fill tables?
And if you want to pair wines you're best off spending the money on wines instead of a class. But that's just my opinion.

My mother believes this firmly. Therefore in the past i've never eaten anything besides very well done meat. no matter the type.

So yes, there are people who think this. Though in my mothers case, she used to prepare wild meat all the time since my grandfather used to be a hunter/fisher. So that probably played a role.

>>5518316
You hate standing around making pizzas constantly?

>>5518209

Yeah, its all about parasites. US meat is usually parasite free because the way the animals are handled they never get exposed to sources of infection. Pigs arent allowed to rut for grass or eat their own waste so they dont get trichinosis (which means most US pork can be eaten rare/medium rare, I just cant bring myself to do it thanks to how my parents raised me). Beef and chicken can be eaten rare, although whole chicken would be slightly different as the blood it sits in combined with the hollow bones could theoretically allow for bacteria to suffuse the meat. The problem is that people dont realize this, so every time its undercooked they psyche themselves into getting sick. Sadly, I find medium rare chicken to be delicious, the problem is I always psych myself out when I eat it because of "muh food poisoning".
