I cooked an omelet for Gene Simmons once...back in 1993. I was at a place at Colony Square in Atlanta. He wanted all egg whites with a ton of veggies but absolutely no oil. Not even food release. Same with the hash browns. Took me 6 tries to get the dang thing out of the pan in a condition that even closely resembled an omelet. Finally I walked the omelet out to the table and explained to him what it took. He said he was ****ing with me and just wanted to see if there was a Chef that could get it done. He said I was the first and invited me to sit with him for a while. Made the effort entirely worth it!   |
I snickered at this one because last week I had a special order for an omelet made just that way. I fired up the teflon pan on the stovetop (all of the grills are seasoned with margarine and they wanted no traces of margarine at all with it) and waited till it got nice and hot before I dropped the omelet on it. Flipping it went reasonably well considering I was using the silocone turners we use for crepes and then I arranged it nicely on the plate so it resembled an omelette, garnished it and sent it out to the table. The server came back and told me that the customer had enjoyed their omelette and it was the best one they had ever had in a restaurant. That made my day for sure!!
