In the time this head chef wrote their issues in a post I’d have replaced the cord and went on with my day.

if he was that worried about a cheap blender couldn’t he have just replaced it himself?

If you find yourself defending the owner in this thread, you can go fuck yourself.
Having your wages cut because you got hurt at work and asked for better equipment is fucking insane.
If you think this is acceptable behavior in a workplace, you have Stockholm syndrome.

There’s always a dumpster. That’s where bad shit goes.

America’s Best Restaurants came to a place in my city. I met them and they were super nice, but it’s clearly a very small time operation that nobody actually cares to watch.
Most of their videos don’t even get 1k views.

If I’m not mistaken America’s best restaurants will take anyone who pays

You don’t want to create the next Krispy Kreme donut recipe & get fucked in ass by the owner do you? Quit with that mofo & buy 1 million blenders. Or Daves Hot Chicken, was watching a video on YT, they turned $900 into “close to” $1 billion. Your recipe is your soul, never sell it to the devil.

Honest question.
Are you really head chef if you can’t replace $100 a blender on your own? I spend more on employee meal sometimes. Dude needs to get out of there. Fuck that owner.
I have access to all our ordering websites. In fact no one else would even know how to order a blender.
If that was happening in my kitchen. I grab the company credit card and buy a new blender.
I’m just a kitchen manager and I could do that on my own.

I’m just kind of baffled that the chef here didn’t just bin the blender if it was so damaged that wrapping it wouldn’t have been safe. I’ve also never heard of anywhere where a head chef doesnt have the ability to buy some equipment, I get you want a new oven or a thermo then it’s going through the person who pays the bills but a few pennies on a blender really he couldn’t just order one?
No one gets credited for recipes. Has anyone ever eaten somewhere that the menu says recipie by chef Frank? Here is the thing you don’t let your employer try and copywrite your recipes. When you leave, they are still your recipies. You can take them to a new place. A chef cooking a dish they love and worked on is always going to be better than someone reading it from a recipe and spec sheet.
Don’t get me wrong, if someone brings up a dangerous fault, the owner should fix it. But if you are in a management position like a head chef then be a fucking manager and deal with the issue. If they really couldn’t spend the money, throw it out and have parts of the menu always unavailable, and it will soon be replaced then.

I get why he’s mad. Stuff gets damaged all the time and doesn’t get fixed or replaced until it quits completely. Meantime it’s dangerous, and it sucks to get hurt, especially because of incompetence. Sucks to be treated poorly. But hasn’t he heard of electrical tape? It’s pretty cheap, and it really helps with the whole getting-shocked thing. Prolongs the life of both appliances and people.

You don’t *report* exposed wires. You cut the wires off completely so that it’s inoperable

a lot of people might be unfamiliar with America’s best restaurants. It poses as a competition show that aims to promote the best restaurants in the country. It’s actually a youtube show-marketing play hybrid run by Matt Plapp, the restaurant marketer. They’re not selective, they’ll take any restaurant as long as they pay. I know this because I’ve done a consultation with them and it was a massive waste of time. I applied, they got back to me and we had a 1 hour phone call where they pretty much stroke your ego, tell you that after careful consideration you’ve been selected, then, at the end of the call, casually mention it’s a 5k investment to be on the show. It’s a total scam because they have a small audience and the viewers aren’t even local to your geographical location. All I’m saying is, being on this “show” isn’t the honor you think it is.

Look, fuck owners and all their usual bullshit. Let’s make that clear. Love all my BoH people.
But brother, you knew the blender was fucked… you didn’t even think to throw some electrical tape on the exposed wires? If it was that fucked, I’d have trashed it and used a different blender, demanded one be bought, or just sent someone to buy one on my card. If they didn’t pay me back, I’d steal it back to recoup before quitting with no notice.
Fuck the bosses, but let’s use some damn common sense here people.
FarTooLong
Counterpoint. This chef should be canceled for allowing his staff to use a dangerous piece of equipment. Send it to be professionally fixed or cut the cable off and toss it.

This post has a bunch of purchased accounts with no post history in here astroturfing on the side of the restaurant.

Hate to be that guy, but if you’re still alive, it’s just a shock. Electrocution means to kill.

It’s really not difficult to repair the cord on a vitamix. I feel like most chefs are perfectly capable of that? Are you guys buying entire new blenders when that happens?
