There’s a smooth blade, fine serrated, and coarse serrated

Hummus. All I want is ultra smooth hummus....* (on that note, anyone know which Robot-Coupe blade is best for that?) *but also muhammara and mayyyybe falafel mix

I tried, but the issue is the rim of the bowl is well above the top of the blade, and it's not watertight, so it's hard to get an accurate measure. Inaccurately, it would seem that 3qts is to the VERY rim of the bowl

Stupid question, but I just bought a used Robot-Coupe R2, and it claims to have a 3 qt capacity, which would make it equivalent to a 12 cup home food processor. The bowl seems TINY - is it measured all the way to the top, or what?

Hotter than the depths of hell here, so last night it was two Daiquirí No. 4s, (turns out in a Blendtec, 12 oz of crushed ice rather than 16 is the way to go), and then a Crafty and Elusive Elk once I was properly cooled off

Man I love me some yu xiang qiezi! Seconded!

Do Trader Joe's do a similar plain croissant? I don't always want a pain au chocolat, but I will rarely turn down a perfectly crisp, flaky croissant.

Benton's bacon grease makes for the dopest, smokiest, richest, most bomb-ass Mapo Doufu in the world. Just thought I'd share my recent (albeit "duh"-obvious) discovery

On the same subject....I'm in the market for a Robot-Coupe now, and I have no idea which model to get - I mostly just want it for ultra-smooth hummus.

Definitely was monster trucks

Pulled the trigger in the nick of time on a 25 and 27. Hoping the 25 becomes my perfect spanish tortilla pan! I was debating the 20 pan and the 34 paella but I think I'll use them less - seems that Darto often offers discounts so maybe later!

Believe me, as someone going through it in DC, I know what it's like. Is Polynesian open yet? I see Broken Shaker's NY outpost opened out of the blue.

Well turns out that option is just for people in Argentina with Argentine credit cards. I went a bit wild buying rum at Astor Wine last week so I might have to buy just two pans...

Agggh is it open yet? I'm planning a 1-night trip to NY to hit them up plus the Polynesian when it opens

I did end up at Tanoreen, but for lunch. He wasn't there, but we're now connected on instagram hahaha. Tanoreen was awesome, though. The hype is real

Stupid question, but since they're not shipping until the fall, and I see they offer payment in installments, how exactly do I choose to do that?

How long ago did that go into effect in WA, and have you noticed any businesses being adversely affected, or cutting staff, etc etc?

Thanks, it's gonna be in Adams Morgan, hopefully open in a month or so

DC is soon to vote on an ultra-divisive initiative to eliminate the tip credit - i.e. when a tipped employee doesn't make enough in tips plus the tipped minimum waged, they must be compensated by the house equal to the non-tipped wage. If it passes, all staff must be paid the same, higher wage. I believe in New York something like this has already happened (please correct me if I'm wrong), with all increased costs passed on to the consumer. On my two 2018 trips to New York, I was a bit startled to find cocktails at the high end bars I used to frequent sitting pretty at $18, whereas even last year they were a few bucks cheaper. If you may not know, I'm about to open a bar/resto in DC. I'm paying my staff as a share of revenue rather than hourly rate (plus giving benefits), and that will exceed the minimums anyway, but my own view is that as much as I think the tipping system is stupid, it's so ingrained in the system, and as one of the few ways restaurateurs can operate profitably, that it's foolish to do away with it. Hoping to hear from owners and managers who've dealt with this issue and how it affected your business.

I can now confirm it makes a banging Jungle Bird, per Bar 5 Day specs: 1.5 JA rum 1.5 pineapple juice (4 oz if freshly juiced) .75 Campari .5 lime .5 or less simple (I used Petite Canne)

Another dumb question: Those with Darto pans as well as vintage, smooth cast iron, what do you use more and why?

What's CSO?

That's my favorite part! Also I can tell you from drunkenly meeting Dave at Tales last year, he has a predilection for Rumple Minze

Thinking of a 20, 25, and 27... @rotuts, remember when you and I got those De Buyer pans? How does Darto compare?

Sale is live, thinking of getting 1 or 2, what are the most useful sizes in your opinions?
