Had to work a brunch shift today and needed to come up with a feature frittata. For some reason I had green eggs and ham stuck in my head. Blended some blanched spinach with eggs, then sauteed country ham and bacon with roasted garlic, herbs and added aged cheddar. Out sold every other brunch item.4yr ⋅ LordCheezusChrist ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential
Started a new job recently. Got shown how to plate the Duck dish. Beautiful plate, thought I would share it. Think I made the right call switching jobs. Pan seared duck breast with yam puree, seasonal vegetables, house made gnocchi, quince gastrique and duck demi glace.4yr ⋅ LordCheezusChrist ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential
To anyone thinking of getting into the restaurant industry, this is what the food network doesn’t show you. This is how you will be spending most holidays... looking for the lone grill scraper that fell behind the grease trap. Happy 2020 everybody. The struggle is real...4yr ⋅ LordCheezusChrist ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential

Been in the industry for 15 years and never really appreciated or went out of my way for radish. However we just started getting these beauties from a local farm and they totally changed my opinion. Had to take a picture and post.3yr ⋅ LordCheezusChrist ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential

Made a great halibut feature and snapped a great pic right before this one got sent out. Pretty happy with it. Seared BC halibut with garden pea and lobster risotto, summer vegetables, radish, marinated rock shrimp and sauce vierge.5yr ⋅ LordCheezusChrist ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential
Can anyone relate to how annoying it is to work with an older oven with a shitty hotspot? This is what it did to my crostini’s today, I won’t even get into the nightmare that is doing desserts...3yr ⋅ LordCheezusChrist ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential

I work as a sous chef and never call in sick, but last Sunday I was seriously ill. Had to ask my right hand man Nathan to cover for me. He did, but right before last call they got a huge walk in party and had this to deal with between the two of them... thanks nate, owe you one.5yr ⋅ LordCheezusChrist ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential
Getting tired of cleaning the kitchen at the end of the night and having to find everyone’s knives behind Bain Marie’s, on prep tables and cutting boards. These were all of them on a Friday night that I found and had to deal with. Tomorrow I might hide them just to make a point.4yr ⋅ LordCheezusChrist ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential
I posted a week ago about a guy at work who couldn’t cut cucumbers into 1/4” dice. I’m really not trying to complain, but this is the end product I found today when I asked my grill guy to pound out some veal into 2 oz cutlets...I have no words.5yr ⋅ LordCheezusChrist ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential
In charge of doing dinner features these days at work. With autumn approaching I wanted to do something seasonal. Butter basted striploin with parsnip puree, roasted autumn veg (sunchokes, onion, mushrooms, carrots) root veg chips, fried sage and mushroom Demi. Turned out great.5yr ⋅ LordCheezusChrist ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential
Just picked up the new Anthony Bourdain Remembered book. Bag of weed, cold beer and a good book after a 12 hour shift... that’s the way Tony would have wanted it.5yr ⋅ LordCheezusChrist ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential
