Saturday is when fresh produce comes in from the farmer’s market so this is everything I prepped for Saturday’s dinner service as a line cook

Saturday means fresh produce is coming from the farmers market. And this is everything I prepared for Saturday’s service. Before starting any prep, we consolidated, labeled, and put away all the produce. Then I started the day by milling rice for the jeweled saffron rice and stored the rice brand because nothing goes to waste at our restaurant. Then I made two quarts of the roasted yeast dressing and prepared all the veggies to be charred by the grill station after family meal. This is what they look like after being charred. I also made a quart of the yuzu kosho dressing, portion 10 orders of the rice, and scrubbed for the first breakdown. After family meal, I thinly sliced peaches for the peach and long bean salad. And we have a new dish on the menu, which is melon with white strawberry kimchi. This strawberry kimchi tastes like gakugi, but with a texture in between radish and strawberries. We also crack all the walnuts, and I like using a lemon juicer to do this. We also got a ton of garlic from the garden, so I’ve been peeling them since yesterday. And I actually think this is pretty therapeutic, but hate the smell that lingers on my fingers.

  1. I've never seen strawberry kimchi before! I'd be interested in a recipe or one similar to it (not wanting to pinch the restaurants recipe if they made it). Just very curious how the strawberry would play with the other flavours of kimchi

  2. The yuzu dressing sounds delicious. Can you make a video on how to make it I wanna see if I can make my own 😅

  3. I can tell you guys aren’t that busy just by the way you prep. Place with volume, you’d never catch them HAND peeling anything. That’s something you do to make your 8 hours.

  4. Just wondering , just because I’m curious, what’s your goal for your career ? Do you want to own your own restaurant or become a head chef ?

  5. i love your videos so much ! they’ve really helped me get back into cheffing after some time off thank u x

  6. If your fingers smell like garlic you can rub a bit of toothpaste between your fingers and that really does get rid of the stench

  7. I am a weirdo. I love cutting the garlic and then rubbing my fingers over my teeth and sucking on my fingers 😅 I love garlic.
