the best food you buy on a street cart from a sweaty fat man that uses the same rag to clean the counter and it's forehead

We out here dehumanizing chefs 😎πŸ’ͺ

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 50 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, actually, the word used was "it's," which is a contraction for "it is." The sweaty fat man uses the same rag to clean the counter, and it is forehead.

Thanks for clarifying this for me

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

LOL sorry! I would never! I was in a business meeting at the time

Most chefs even at Michelin stars have a tat or two. You don't start at the top. Street food is great, but I'd encourage anyone privileged enough to have a nice meal with a loved one at a fancy ass $300 7 course meal.

The experience is worth it assuming you aren't sacrificing rent.

Please help me understand how a 7 course meal doesn't end in a coma, though. I eat one regular-ass sandwich and am good for like 3 hours

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's 7 courses of tiny ass food

The best steak I ever had was part of a 12-course menu. It was a finger-size portion of A5 wagyu cooked to a perfect rare, with a huitlacoche-butter sauce.

And then the pastry chef sent us out five full-size dessert courses because it was a slow night, my wife was also a pastry chef, and the guy wanted her opinion on some dishes he had planned for future menus. Each one was delicious in ways I still struggle to describe but the restaurant staff almost had to roll us out of there Willy Wonka-style afterwards...

I worked in a lot of kitchens in my younger days and came to believe that meth was the secret ingredient to a good cook/chef.

Yeah, it's a blend of umami and sour. Gives bechamel a real edge.

[–] Conyak@lemmy.tf 2 points 1 year ago

It’s anecdotal, but I worked in several kitchens and meth use was rampant. Everyone was also sleeping with each other. It was wild.

It feels like most β€œfancy” restaurants I go to in Seattle have chefs with tats. It’s pretty much the norm here.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yet somehow a huge number of places here still taste bland and without love or grief

This is why I don't support a living wage, I need my street tacos to taste like desperation.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does that mean the food is good or bad? It could go either way.

It's clearly bad since they hate it when it happens.

I don't think Gordon Ramsay has any tattoos and he's arguably the most successful chef on the planet.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah but it's not about whether they have tattoos, it's about whether their food tastes like they have tatoos

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

He definitely cusses like he's covered in tattoos.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

"Ramsay says he promised himself that the minute he finished an Ironman, he would get a tattoo. "My daughters are going to think I'm ΓΌber-cool," he says. He plans to get a discreet "IM" on the back of his ankle. "

Looks like he has a hidden one

When the secret ingredient is love instead of depression and second-hand smoke
