to work at mcdonald's"
mircea_popescu: i could never get a competent cook

there's one way
that north america fucked itself in
the ass, it's
the concept of "respectable work"

the heads were in either case male, over 40.
nubbins`: you're lucky
to have 2 full
time employees who know what
they're at
nubbins`: mircea_popescu
the vast majority of fooderies are staffed by 19-20yo's with clueless managers
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: was
this before or after 'retirement' ?
nubbins`: pete_dushenski it looked kind of like
this: baked.jpg
mircea_popescu: anyway,
to not peel off more
than is fair : i rather distantly ran
the kitchen, by virtue of ownership. it did have a chief cook and everything.
pete_dushenski: nubbins`: i can barely imagine your face
the first

nubbins`: pete_dushenski imagine my face
the first
time i saw a squeegee sharpening machine
pete_dushenski is still in shock over
these fucking cutting board planing machines...
mircea_popescu: nubbins` for
the record,
traditional (european) cooking happened around
this large flat
table of very
thick oak
☟︎ nubbins`: fridge after
that, most of
the heavy lifting's done
nubbins`: i usually let it ferment at 20C for 4-5 days
to get it going

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: of course
the walk-in fridges have metal grill shelving
Vexual: whats
the recipie again?
nubbins`: also fwiw i made kimchi day before yes, ~5th batch so far, anyone who likes food and is halfway handy in

throwaway peice of shit? surely u jest
nubbins`: when
they finally put restaurant inspection reports online for people
to read, every single restaurant i've ever eaten at was given a citation for cutting boards needing resurfacing
mircea_popescu: nubbins` nah, just, wood stuff was cheap. you'd go
through multiple sets each year np
nubbins`: he has a problem with securing
the domicile

tring
to worm it into an absolute.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: leaves
the door open and... rat comes in ?
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski not as hard as it was for
this guy
to figure out
the cook leaves
the door open eh ?
nubbins`: how often did you resurface
the cutting boards?
pete_dushenski: ya, it's almost impossible
to be shut down on
the spot
pete_dushenski: given
that incubation periods for common foodborne pathogens range from 1-7 days,
that people have varying susceptibilities and
that most people eat out somewhat frequently, it's hard
to isolate
the source
nubbins`: if you shut 'em down within a day of
them failing inspection, you're
the 1%
nubbins`: pete_dushenski i figured i'd leave
that one for someone who wants
to put in
the
time
assbot: Logged on 13-04-2015 13:37:43; mircea_popescu: restaurants are very safe, because if
