staff meal

[get in my belly]

i really envy all who can still stand to cook at home . i work two jobs , both in the kitchen . on my days off i eat out at a new restaurant i havent tried yet for the thought of cooking makes me ill . when im at work all day this is what i eat e meal , emplyee slop , daily feed bag , family meal , grub , or lovingly refered to as..... ko - me - da way . {spanish for.. dinner, dude}. so for those who can feel me please tell us what you ate at work today some staff meals are the bomb . for those.... recipies would be cool .

today was sloppy joes on baggets with cheddar cheese and cold fries with bernaise damn good !

Baked penne twice. Twice because we were supposed to have chicken fingers as well so when I came back for my break the only choice I hade was baked penne again. But it was free!

lets see there was an old piece of [2 hours old] scnitzel on the cutting board that i heated up and a partly torn tomato wrap . just put a little hummas that wasnt so good on the wrap the scnitzel some bacon lettus and tomato some ranch dressing and dipped it in some portabello juice from the sheet tray on the back table it was suprisingly good .

I am currently on call via an agency that places folks for temporary events, so no regular staff meal for me. But the last one was pretty sumptuous, thanks to the fact that we got sent to a lavish estate to do a private catered event where no expense was spared.

First day's staff lunch:

grilled salmon cakes

sauteed white asparagus

sauteed green beans

homemade cake of some kind

Second day:

some kind of veal stew with veggies

green salad

mixed nuts

pasta salad

tiramisu

...and all the soda and Perugina sparkling water we could throw down our gullets.

On the line...leftover prime rib with demi, green beans and leftover garlic mashers.

[KateW]

Nothing really...I made salad all day and then I worked on the line at night so I had to set up the line when I would usually be going to eat.

Nibbled...potato skin here, bite of prime rib there.

Normally I'd have something like a grilled chicken sandwich, blt, or a bowl of chowder.

If you dont mind me saying, get-in-my-belly, you nearly sound like Anthony Bourdain in disguise. Funny, interesting and unusual!

[tanabutler]

There is a very long "staff meal" thread here, which I am way too lazy to look up. Someone else can link it.

Yesterday it was fried fish of some sort with tater tots. Both soggy from sitting in the "box" for about four hours prior to eating. Later on I made myself a black and blue burger with fries that nearly made me sick. Two miller lites for dessert (at home).

Worked my part-time job tonight, so I ate well. We didn't get many orders for salmon this week so I had last-of-the-old-batch salmon fillet, done precisely as we do it for the customers: brandy-cream sauce; saffron rice with capers, peppers, shallots, & tomatoes; cpl spears of asparagus, broccoli, baby carrots, snap peas.

Oh, and a "spiked" icy lemonade from FOH (we eat after service, I hasten to point out).

[spoonbread]

Today it was a salad with leftover pheasant and a quick lemon-thyme vinegrette.

Ah, that was the other part of that gig I forgot, the cheese! We stuffed ourselves with three different kinds of it, the favorite being this cheese with bits of black truffle all throughout, plus slices of bread and pear.

The ahi tartare leftovers also made up part of Sunday's lunch.

It got pretty sick between all that and the truffled hors deouvres and tastes of caviar.

interesting bit in new york times dining out section today...some restaurant is inviting the public in to PAY!!!! for employee staff meal on thursdays between 4:45 and 6pm. needless to say, i'm sure it isn't the same swill they make from friday to wednesday!

since where i'm working right now is not open, we have the luxury of time in creating our staff meals. it has been pretty amazing as i'm working with a lot of talented cooks. i know that will change quickly once the restaurant is up and running so i'm gaining my weight now and i'll forego family (meal) once we're open.

we had orzo surprise...which is basically just orzo helper. It had veggies and ground beef in it and was quite good.

It isn't always slop, just sometimes.

One hard shell and one soft shell taco. My favorite day of the week. Oh, and then about a million poppers on the line b/c we had "latino night" at the club attached to the hotel.
