staff meal


get in my belly

Recommended Posts

Oh staff meal how I miss thee...

Monday,I had nachos line cooks style...

"What do you got?"

"Shaved prime rib? Hmmm, hey there is some spicy-black-bean-pasta-of-the-day sauce-thingy left over from lunch?"

"Sounds like a winner to me too!"

It was quite good: spicy black bean nachos topped w/ white cheder, shredded lettuce, and sour cream.

I honestly do not remember what I ate yesterday. Iced coffee, black.

Today it was tempura soft shell crab and a flat bread, goat cheese, and ham Scoobie Snack. And Iced coffee, black.

For employee meal one of my signature dishes in whole chicken poached in coconut milk, curry, lime zest and juice, cilantro, ginger, and garlic. Pull out the chicken when it is totally cooked through. Reduce the liquid and strain the sauce. I accompany the meal with steamed basmati rice on the side.

I have also made meat lasagna using thinly sliced zucchini in place of lasagna sheets. It was pretty darn tasty too. I fooled all the staff with this Atkin's version. It wasn't intentional.

I like being creative with staff meals, as to challenge myself and the rest of the crew with originality and on a budget too! :cool:

"Mexican torta". Avocado, ham, mayo, lettuce, tomato, fresh mozz and chipotle peppers on chiabatta. This might become a menu item.

On workout days rye bread sandwiches with chicken/turkey as second breakfast and mid-afternoon snack, for noon something homemade-then-frozen-then-microwaved stuff like jambalaya, chicken vindaloo, japanese curry, chili con carne, etc. On non-workout days, cottage cheese, whey shake, raw veggies and fruits as snacks and a big tuna or chicken salad for lunch.

Today the boys in the kitchen hooked us all up with the All-American 4th of July meal. Burgers, hot dogs, ribs, corn on the cob, and potato salad.

I love those guys for making having to work the holiday that much nicer. :wub:

I am sad and very shamed to tell you all that I have quite the culinary bussiness . :unsure: I was unable to make a good living without selling my soul to the man and big bussiness down in Phoenix . I felt like i was breaking up with a girlfriend or better like i was telling my wife that i had loved for 14 years had no problems with was still in love with that i wanted a divorce . :sad: It took me 3 monthes to decide that i had to find something else to do . I was depressed and deeply saddened and cried the night i put in my two weeks because in my heart and deep in my soul i knew it would be my last two as a professional . I grew up in the kitchens . I had done nothing else . The feel of a saute pan as you flip it and then gently but hurredly place it back on the burner , the smell of stock that needs to be strained in the morning , carefully cutting veg for my soup , going to get my chef jacket from the rack, the smell of mirepois in a hot pot carmalizing , the noise of plates crashing together in the dish tank , speaking broken spanglish , making emp meal , and just the dance . The everyday two step . The kitchens will always be a part of my soul deeply rooted . I will never forget the lessons that the kitchen has taught me . Most people ive found dont understand why i work the way i do and i dont understand them . There lazy uneffieciant scatterbrained unorganized waterheads . But i just smile when people complain about there bullshit job,guess theve never had a pissed off owner operator chef yelling over there shoulder as you cut the skin off fish about the fact that they forgot an off site party for 25 fingerfoods to desserts that has to be out in two hours and look good and its your fault ,plus your own prep for the night and its a friday. Unless youve been there you can never know.And so i smile.Because its all easy after that . A few people in my life have guided me and kept my head above water and shared a few cocktails in the bussiness id like to give em a shoutout.........

Chef Tenya , Chef Denver , Chef Max , Chef Hubert , Chef Mike ,Chef Christopher

Jen ,vicente,and Egullet.com . Thank you !I will carry your memories with me on all my pathes .Love , Light and Peace be within - :wub: Ben
