He did ok. Broken sauce, got too eager to throw the butter in the pan. A quick wipe with a napkin on the plate rim would be good too. Rest looks fine. But there is a big difference between home cook, where time is plenty and “good enough” is acceptable, vs a professional kitchen where it’s paying customers and it’s your job to wow them so they come back again.
In regards to the bread, I think that’s a personal preference. I like it that toasty but some people don’t.

The beans looked canned or he literally put them on a board and hacked away at them for a while and then proceeded to boil them for 25 minutes

Oh, congratulations, you made one single dish!

Hahahaha…. Yup! Fuck that guy. When I first started out (2005), I had moved from an okay restaurant to a great restaurant in our city. It was super tough, but I learned more in 6 months there than anywhere else. I was always tired, anxious, and my body ached from the 12-15 hour shifts. But still, I loved it, took pride in my food, and the accomplishments of the restaurant and staff. A friend from high school kept goading me about taking a job as a kitchen manager for a knock off “hooters” because there would be a lot of ladies there, and “good food” like wings and mozzarella sticks.. also, he thought if I got a job there I would give him free food. He is an okay guy, talked to him a couple of months ago, just kind of smart but also an idiot. When he says things, I realize there isn’t any malice to it, he just doesn’t think things through.

The “plate rim isn’t clean” is just the petty perfect icing on the cake🤌
erik_wilder
100% justified and true. That sauce is broken. If he’s trying to flex on you with it, I’m glad you let him know.
NevrAsk
Nah that’s fighting words if he’s implying it’s that easy 💀
bidez87
Did he cut the bread with a club?
garbage-at-life
ok now make 3 of those in the same amount of time

Tell him to go back to Applebee’s.

Who wants to guess that meat is as dry as TGIFridays

What’s a broken sauce? (I don’t belong here, reddit just keeps putting this frankly cool sub in my feed. My skills extend to crockpots and I’ve only poisoned myself with my own cooking twice)

Your buddy needs to spend more time on the line

Coward, show us the money and cut into the chicken(?)!!
abasicgirl
I would’ve said “cool, now make me 50 more identical ones over the course of the next 5 hours”

He was clearly looking for smoke

Throw it away start over

Just saying if that left my kitchen, I’d be embarrassed
queerdildo
Now do it 100 more times.
misslam2u2
And tf is that wilted weak ass veg behind that whack puffed up chicken ? Looking at the bottom of that previously frozen bread hurts my feelings. I hate this plate. Fuck this guy.

Why is the thumb on the bone?

The front edge of the plate is chipped too.

Multiple issues and they weren’t making multiple while also focusing on a dozen other plates. i don’t miss working in a kitchen but the work goes massively under appreciated for what it is.

Sauce is broken
Bread is burnt
Rim is dirty
Thumb is on the food
Arms are lanky
Draw string isn’t tucked
Fridge is condensating
Salad is wilting
Bread is sliced crooked
Photography is subpar

Grats on your mediocre plate of food, now go make fifty more within the next four hours, every day for the rest of your life

What even is it?
Frozen French cut green beans, three uneven cuts of toast, a Pam Anderson chicken breast that wasn’t flattened or butterflied, and really oily split chicken gravy?
I’d smash the shit out of that if I made it at home. If I was drunk enough, I might even brag to my friend group. I would never belittle a trained chef friend over this.

Nice now make 20 of them in 30 minutes.

What an ignorant message. Love your reply. I’d love to see him actually do this correctly many times over a 12 hours shift as well and countless other possible plates. I mean I can change my own tire but I’m not going to send a photo to my mechanic friends and flex.

Anyone can cook a plate of food.
Now, cooking a plate of food that people will be happy to spend money on? That’s a different story

Should have sent him a Gordon special

12 hours for broken sauce and a burnt piece of bread is diabolical 😂
SquiddyBB
Lemme guess, he took 4 hours… on prep alone!
ActingApple
Honestly the bread being slightly burnt like that looks delicious

Damn it took him 12 hours to make that.
Oh he just had to poke the bear didn’t he
