Really a Chef???

[Botanique]

LOL
BTW -- all Oz did was offer bfast... which, I thought was quite gentlemanly.

[chef_oz]

its ok, Im a calm person
I just felt a little warm food would help everyone.

I made dirty egg whites and fruit salad... I have leftover fruit!

:ciao:

[Botanique]

Oz, I'll be there tomorrow morning for some fruit. I'll bring the yogurt. Unfortunately this farming community is experiencing Mother Nature with ADD who finally realized Winter was supposed to happen.... Bad juju for local restaurants.

[panini]

hello? music calms the beast. I will be in the kitchen tomorrow playing with friends, I will also be playing Bocelli very loud

[Botanique]

Good choice, don't forget to throw in a little Vivaldi, or maybe some Dinah Washington...?

Went to George Brown College here in Toronto. Took the Baking program then the Chef Training. I'm now working for Compass Group @ the same campus I trained in as a cook or sous chef, I'm second to the chef either way. I mainly posted after reading the original thread so I havn't had the opertunity to read other people's responses yet

i had a dream about a piece of paper in my hand, so what is a chef, hmm, any one that works in a real kitchen, which i dont, stardom is about the customers, if you own its about the customers. someone has to feed the pocket. a chef or a chief is about the crew evereyones crew as in position. i started to wash dishes like everyone else.

[Chef M]

yes your head is to big, i have a ?, what mags do you subscribe to. do you cook or sit in an office, and make quick decisions. education? or hands on? what did u come with on your own, the nights you slepped alone, yet with a family, and sacrifice your family for your crew. did you ever wondar if u would break down IN A RUSH, or dealt with IT. jolly u r ok in my book, but on the other side of the token is grunt work, something u or i can not learn in school, do u want a job? when u sleep do u dream about tommorow, or the next day? i know i have a crew that is simplr but they are hard. so what is a chef,or chief! lets not forget the cook or grunt. if u are what u say, then u know the pressure of different workers or maybey ishould say KITCHEN HELP? we all start somewhere, but where do we start. i hope i did not offend u, weakend are hard, yet the job was done in the kitchen as you know, PREP TOMMOROW, just another day.

[Botanique]

nothing wrong with washing dishes, been there, done that, would do it again in a heart beat.

[Chef M]

still do it, a cooks life

[Botanique]

Chef M -- pardon me, please. I say this out of compassion, honestly.... I think you need some rest. Take a Sunday for yourself. XXXOOOO

I'm really disappointed with your comments today JR...
The last time I checked here the web address was not JollyRoger.com When you see a person who is truly at peace with themselves and the world around them they just don't make comments like you have today. They are too busy enjoying life and sharing the love of their craft with all those around them.
Are you upset with the world today...trying to achieve the gold medal in the testosterone olympics maybe ??? Are you suffering from the dreaded "Center of the Universe Syndrome" ? You've been here a little over a month and are trying to chase people out of here already? What gives brother??? You know they offer happy classes at Harvard and could be worth looking into...(no joke)
A true professional has a keen understanding of the word respect.

For what you say ?

For your current fellow colleagues ,the trailblazers who came before you, and the new brethren coming in that will eventually take your place . If you have any plans of becoming an ambassador for your craft and profession,with your current attitude you have a long way to go my friend. Unfortunately class is not something that can be taught over night.

I wasn't sure as to where you fit in on the class ladder and after your recent posts you've elimimated all my doubts. I'm sorry but comments like jackhole and mf'ers have no place here ! You're probably too young to remember a guy named Ted Mack....but he had a tv show where you would have fit right in and been a natural! I just don't get it ! You presume to insult a good portion of the registered users here and then expect them to try to absorb your insights and opinions and give them some weight. HUH? I suggest you work on your communication and people skills. The more time you spend on them the more money you will make in the long run ! I truly believe it is all part of being a professional !

Well said ExpatC and cape chef. Cakerookie....chill... way to stand up and speak your mind against all things anarchy!



Don't forget from whence you came ......Speak for yourself when talking about being a mamber of the uptight bunch...Sarcastic personality is a euphemism for unresolved anger from your past ...go ahead ...look it up
The pair you own are too big for your own good ...I really felt like going off here but then I would be no better than.....and my mom said be nice too
Just kidding doesn't cut it ! That's the way I am doesn't get you off the hook to disrespect anyone you choose whenever you feel like it . It's just called social pecking when people finally let you know they're not happy with the way they're being treated .
I don't dislike you but I had to vent ....and I won't lug this anger around with me much past posting my comments No hard feelings ???Time fer you ta laugh a little.....

Quotes of the day !
1. those who say don't know & those who know don't say
2. the only time you can change a man is when he's in diapers!
3. a fools tongue is like a dogs tail ..always wagging
4. people who critizise are the ones who come down the hill
after the battle is all over to shoot the wounded
The last thing I'll say about all this is I've been in the kitchen for 38 years...I did the hard knocks thing and went to school too (CIA)so I know the difference between a professional and an amateur....I am now climbing down off my soapbox so you can all rest....lol

I made a nice batch of pork goulash and herbed spaetzle tonight along with some whole wheat sandwich loaves and some homemade strawberry banana ice cream. Anybody else busy cooking tonight???

[Jolly Roger]

Chef M...what does your keyboard look like? I just have a hard time reading your posts. Maybe you need to have a spa day with cakerookie and brush up on your spelling a bit. Food4life...Touche my friend. I appreciate your "concern". No harm done, maybe only to the over sensitive and thin skinned. I can't say I'm aware of Ted Mac, but if he's got a reputation for a sharp wit and a no BS policy, then yeah, I might dig his style. I'm really surprised at how much attention, negative or otherwise, this post received in regards to others taking the time to say how much they didn't like some of my comments. (...scratching head and saying: "hmmm...") For what it's worth ya'll (The easily offended Quaker group), I didn't intend on this getting to lynch mob mentality level. Just take it easy and try to take some things with a grain of salt. Relax.

[Jolly Roger]

Hey dude, I wasn't trying to put you down. It's just that I seemed to have started a bit of a feeding frenzy Saturday morning, or whenever the h*ll my post got out of control and I was just trying to keep up. Pardon any friendly fire, boss. I'll save my sarcastic wit for my blogs.

[cakerookie]

You know what. Rather than put up with this abuse I think I should just log off and not bother coming back. Has far as being Quaker I am not. As far as the lynch mob goes look at yourself in the mirror my friend you were the one who got all this started. And before I say somethings I do not mean I will leave this forum and not look back because there are plenty more where I do not have to tolerate insensitive people..........
