I’ve peaked as a chef. I didn’t really eat today, I’ve been drinking beef broth leftover from the short rib braising pan to get through.

Sipping on broth during the work day got our ancestors through most of civilized history. You’ve joined a time honored tradition.

Man, please don’t put your health needs second. It’s not worth it.

I mean…. I guess it’s got lots of electrolytes

Grab a couple cheese cubes and plan your next meal.

Been there, done that, when I cooked professionally for years, from fast food, to catering crew, to short order, to finer dining line cooking, even a roach coach kitchen at one time, all I ate on my days off were frozen tv dinners.

My work is generous about free food, but I’m usually too pumped up on cortisol to eat much of anything. Typical shift meal for me is one taco or like 4 raw oysters.
I’m actually jealous of this meal, I bet it gives you tons of energy and makes you feel full without being too heavy.

Looks amazing

That’s gonna go the express route.

I made chicken adobo yesterday and spent the entire day eating spoonfuls of the congealed braising liquid all day. It’s pretty fucking nice, ngl.

Gotta take care of yourself man, nutrition isn’t just important, it’s crucial. Keep fighting the good fight

That stuff is gold! I’m surprised you’re drinking it and not serving it with the beef. My go to are the carrots from the braise. Mmmm … Meaty overcooked carrots……
MrCraven
Throw some vegg in. Thats gonna slide right through

Laid-back, with my mind on my money and my money on my mind

Best braising liquid I ever had was from some red wine braised wagyu beef cheeks. The braising liquid and mirepoix was literally liquid gold. I was eating that shit like crazy.

You’re going to have such a shiny coat
Cthuloops76
That is going to be a glorious BM.
Joking aside, I keep a few meal replacement bars in my bag because those “all-go” days sneak up on you.
My wife didn’t believe I actually forgot to eat anything for the longest time.
Apprehensive_Pin3536
Mm looks tasty but i’d be contemplating making gravy or soup with that godly elixer
bananacustardpie

I LIKE A DA JUICE.

I was clamped to a hospital bed for four days after I broke my neck and even the hospital version of this sustained me so I think you’re good.

Dipping your bread in it would be even better!
Hallelujah33
Dip a lil toasty bread in it
bernardobrito
You’re not dipping bread into that??
RandomSecurityGuard

larson00
should I be drinking chicken stock????
ChefPneuma
You don’t turn that into a sauce to reheat/glaze the short ribs?
You could make a banging soup with that too. French onion….beef pho….
Would make a good boost for like a bourguignon or even added to a bolognese.
Seems like a waste to just…drink it. I dunno
disicking
I will swing by my favorite pho place when I’m sick and just ask for 4 large pho broths to go and then drink it out of a mug on my couch. Nothing like living the broth life, bestie.
