Sous chef was grinding bacon for our clam chowder, was using a ladle to push it down…. You can guess what happened next. (Last 2 pics are the aftermath of getting it out). Man do I love kitchen life.

    thats not a safe person to have in a kitchen imho

    Looks like a pretty decent kitchen , we also grind some of our own meats. 

    There’s a large plastic plunger type thing that’s meant to be inserted into there to push shit through. 

    I’d just request they buy one, they aren’t that expensive.

    $6 for a plastic tamper with a lip on it to prevent it going down the feed tube was too big an ask for this doofus I guess.

    So what you’re telling us is that sous chef is a moron who doesn’t belong in a kitchen.

  5. medium-rare-steaks

    lol he used the back side of a ladle?

    I had a coworker that would use a steam table rail to push things down in the blender while it was running. Nearly broke her wrist one day when it got caught.

    make them wear it, ladle of shame

    Why was shoving it handle side down!? When I first read the post, I thought “Meh, I’ve used ladels in vitamixes when the big black dick of death is missing.” But when I do that, I put the bowl side down and make sure the bowl is big enough it sits above the blades and won’t get caught in them.

    Did you get the steel fragments out of the food?

    Keep that “spoon” and hang it somewhere it will be seen daily.

    That is a situation to which i would respond rationally.

  12. i know a lot of people are calling sous a moron, but when you work in a kitchen that isn’t properly set up, you make due with with what you have.

    I’ve yelled at people for sticking there fingers in a robo coup, with the slicing attachment on because they were too lazy to walk ten feet for the plunger

    Completely disregarding the fragile state of your Sous… I love that the grinder just said “Fuck it, gimme.” I’d wager that it will still function flawlessly.

    Is your sous chef an idiot? There’s a 50 cent plunger for that.

  16. SnooPeripherals1278

    Why not just cut the bacon with a knife? Grinding it seems ridiculous in the first place.

  17. soukaixiii

    But why did he use the handle instead of the bowl?

  18. Duh-Government

    Atleast now they have a designed bacon pusher ladle.
    Positive outcome

  19. Chefmeatball

    Can’t even call him a half wit-doesn’t meet the minimum qualifications

  20. BattledroidE

    Best advertisement for that grinder. It gave zero fucks.

  21. Scruffybob

    That ladle should now become the trophy for dick head of the month.

  22. Big-Brother-J

    Hope utensil use the grinder after that.

    Using ladles as plungers never ends well lol. Had a new-ish guy (new but should have known better) use a ladle as a plunger on a brand new Vitaprep. Brand new. Meaning the plunger it came with was right next to the blender. Snapped the ladle right off the handle annnnnnnd now you’re making a new batch of soubise.

    Sorry to be the “Karen” but I’ve made 100s if not 1000s of gallons of chowder (Cape Cod) and I was trained to dice the bacon. Using a grinder seems overkill & a bit wasteful.

  25. DisturbedSoul420

    Bacon? Clam chowder? Oh no. Why? Why were they grinding Bacon for the Chowder?

  26. Chester_1326

    We lost the plastic tool meant for this ages ago. I just use a carrot when need be.

  27. Scary-Humor551

    Hey guess what, your sous is an idiot

  28. DavieStBaconStan

    Sell it on Etsy as an artisan crafted serving spoon. 

  29. SoigneBest

    So y’all are getting a new grinder, right?!

  30. ranting_chef

    Ten bucks says the owner tells the Dishwasher to bend the ladle back and keep using it.

  31. TildeCommaEsc

    You’re going to frame that and hang it on the wall, right?

  32. Protocal_NGate

    You can use a carrot too if it’s appropriately sized. Worst case scenario you get carrot in your ground meat
