  1. Trying to come up with some ideas for garnishes for buckeyes. I want them to have somthing diferent and some flar. I thought about doing either a hard carmel drizzle, some sugarwork or candie nuts.

    Any ideas??

  2. The reason McDonalds can offer oatmeal all day long is that the oatmeal machine is not used for any other purpose. OTOH, they will not cook McMuffins at the same time as burgers as they share the griddle.... So no, no breakfast products beyond this.

    Oatmeal machine sounds scarry! :unsure:

  3. I'm making sunday gravy for mother's day. I usually make the meatballs with a mix of ground beef ground veal and ground pork. However, I'm having. Drydifficulty locating any ground veal at the moment. I'm afraid that just ground pork and ground beef will be too fatty, so I was considering subsituting ground turkey for the ground veal. The only time I've eaten ground turkey that I recall een hard and dry. Any input on the wisdom of going 1 way or the other?

    What about bison? Its lean, if not I do not see why not turkey. I would suggest using a panade in your recipe to keep things moist and light. The most possible reason the turkey was hard and dry was most likely because ground turkey is lean, and it was probably way over cooked. I do think that it would work well with the pork and beef since they will have more fat.

  4. Well the main reasons I am looking outside of Pittsburgh is because I do not want to stay here. Also I want to have a big name that I can put on my resume to say I worked under "such and such".

    I'm fairly certain that having worked as a line chef (or something of that sort) in a city other than NY would carry more weight on your CV than washing dishes in NYC (where the competition is crazy), even if it's in the kitchen of someone with a huge name. Quite a few of the members here are industry professionals, and will no doubt be able to confirm or refute this.

    Good point. But I am keeping my options open.

  5. Recently I have decided to start my own personal growth of experience by undergoing a month of veganism. I have been creating delicious food that is free of animal products, but also in this experiment I wanted to see what life as a vegan or even vegetarian is like for when they are going out to eat. Just from going out a few times I have noticed that there is hardly if any vegan options on menus unless of course I go to a vegan restaurant.

    Has anyone tried vegan or have any personal experience they want to share.

    Ps I am 99% vegan, if I am cooking and something needs to be tasted that is not vegan, I will not restrict myself from tasting the product.

  7. Well, in the kitchen I am the only one. I have the option for help, but I chose to do it myself. I do everything from menu planning, to nutrition for healthy weight loss, shopping, preparing, serving and cleaning. I feel as though it would be to easy for me to just have people work for me because I only need to feed 8 typically at the most, with an occasional party for 100 which I will still do. As far as everything else in the house hold there are four nannies, housekeepers, gardeners and everything else really that doesn’t involve me.

  8. I am a Culinary Management student at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh that is looking to do an internship at the end of this year. I previously went to stage at Blue Hill at Stone Barns back in February hoping to do my internship there but it is unpaid and I can not afford to live in NY without any income. Any suggestions where to go?

    Thanks,

    Jordan
