I’m a culinary professional, and Good Eats is awesome. Only cooking show I like better is Martin Yan’s old show Yan Can Cook.

I always advise people thinking about culinary school to attend a four year college instead. Major in hotel and restaurant management, take as many cooking classes as you can find, and pick up shifts at a local joint when time permits. Much more valuable education.

Well, in a brigade style kitchen there are actually a ton of ranks. Like any title/honorific whether someone uses it is a matter of personal choice. When someone demands that it be used, they are probably a cock.

Finally, someone in the comments section gets it. Please refrain from throwing away perfectly edible organic materials. Someone in your life makes stock, or compost mulch. They’ll very much appreciate a plastic grocery bag full of ‘garbage’.

Nothing you said is false, but this is very much a big city, highest level of competition sort of problem. In smaller markets things aren’t so bad. The general public is more willing today to spend a little for quality food and service in a casual setting instead of hitting up a chain joint.

That’s what Drew is missing. Food industry is getting better, more accessible, and cozier. It’s also getting really popular. Asking foodies not to be interested in the crazy goings-on of celebrity chefs is like asking the Deadspin staff not to have hot takes about sports.

I don’t watch actors pretend to have adventures and emotions, but I understand why people go to the movies.

Hell yeah! I used to go for a jog, then hit the weights as hard as I could. I’d put in a delivery order for a sub, then just start getting high and drinking beers. The good feelings of post workout tiredness, mixed with drunk and high, plus ravenous hunger; once that sub arrived I was in heaven!

Had a rescue dog growing up. Guy we got him from kept the dog chained waayyy down in the yard. Fed him every day, but that was about it. Man could not for the life of him figure out how a 40lb dog was snapping chains meant to restrain 100lb animals. Took us less than a week to figure out lil’ buddy was terrified of…

Shit ingredients loaded with preservatives that won’t go bad even left on the dashboard of your car overnight? You got yourself fast food.

Ok, so skyline chili is an abomination, but I despise people bagging on food from other areas. Especially city people vs. rural people. Like a halal cart on the street corner is some sort of ecological marker of good vittles.

30-45 minutes of driving is a big yes. 30-45 minutes, where 25-38 minutes is spent inching along one six mile stretch of highway in bumper to bumper traffic is hell.

Am I the only one that gets a little queasy when people share what terrible parents they are? I get Magary’s middle aged want everything hassle free schtick, but c’mon man. You lay down the law with stiff punishments when they are 4, and kids are golden until they enter high school.

Heh. I have to thank this ‘Squall’ character. Sums up my feelings towards ultra-lite hikers.

My god, you are seven years old. I guess the shitty play of Smith and Kaepernick is such a let down coming off of the transcendence exemplified by the Tim Rattay/Ken Dorsey era but... oh wait. Yeah.

What the fuck are you even talking about? The 49ers are recently removed from winning 41 games in three years, with three conference title game appearances. During that time they had 2 pro bowl quarterbacks they had drafted and groomed.

Hey, I maintain that if his body wasn’t composed entirely of particle board and bad luck, Pennington would have been a pro bowler. He was accurate, smart, and extremely hard working. He didn’t have top shelf arm strength, but Joe Montana and Peyton Manning proved you can get by with just functional arm strength.

Generally speaking, NFL players are arrested half as often as the rest of the population. So NFLers are, on the whole, better citizens than you or I. The problem is exposure, every time one of them gets so much as a speeding ticket the local fans atleast will hear about it.

Unfortunately the video cuts back to third base right when we need to see what the pitcher is doing. The pitcher does not have to toe the rubber for this to be a balk. Assuming the ‘ready stance’ without the ball while standing on the mound is a balk.

I get amused at how much people hate Peter King for his softballs on the NFL. I mean sure, call him out if he writes something completely stupid. Other than that, though, the man is peddling access. He gets invited to do stories by NFL people because he is willing to report the company line. Hating on him for…
