Topchef, welcome to chef talk.
Your post was very un-dude, this is my favorite thread, anything to crack the mundane. Please, you diced rice for heaven sake! We are all in this together.
Johnpaul, I had a potwasher from a 4 star + est. tell me he was the Daniel of Daniel. He was in fact Jose the pot washer coming over for some sautee flour. Boy did my chef bust my non-exsistant stones when I told him his good friend came over for some sautee flour.
we were the plural of the butt of the joke, no?

Thanky for the warm welcome

What is "very un-dude"? Would the adverb of that be undoodedly?

btw...that chef (read: pompous *****) I mentioned, tried to get the next new guy to dice flour. Having forewarned the new guy as to the ways of this sadisctic dweeb in advance, he turned to the chef and said, "What idiot dices flour"? The chef was well behaved thereafter.

Cheers,
TopChef

They sell that stuff at Long John Silvers- they're called Crumplets! ($1.99 for a side order)

I had heard a story that when Jean Blanchet started a new aprentice, he would have them first chop the flour, then brown it in the convection oven on high fan speed. None of the other cooks were allowed to stop the prank. Probably because they already did their time cleaning the oven....and the floor....and the walls....and the entire line.....

Confused

how about having the new guy boil, deseed and stuff jalapino's failing to inform him to coat his hands with olive oil or using gloves, and watching the look on his face 5-10 minutes after using the restroom...ouch! Personnal discoveries and tragedies passed on, hehe.

By the way, on the subject of old grease...you ladies should love this one. It is normally purchased by cosmetic companies. Wahoo Mary Kay, SAVE THE WHALES!! Hmmm...wonder why makeup tends to blemish the complexion?

Wow, I actually dug myself out of my rut on this one : On Halloween I took Red food coloring, Karo Syrup, and the slicer for well, the nastiest prank of all time. It's been 2 weeks and I'm STILL cleaning "blood" off equipment.

Yawn

You guys are totally sick - I love it! After a hard day cooking at a 17th or 18th century site, we used to enjoy positioning the veggies in highly suggestive poses. You shoulda seen what we did with a horseradish . . .
