A guy the owner thinks is world class was given the job I was hired to take over a year ago.
This is the shit I walked into this morning. Half cooked salmon on the line. I texted him and said this shit is not ok. He said no, it’s still good. I said cool, I threw it in the trash where it belongs.

This situation almost always ends with you either being let go or leaving in a fit of rage. If he has a thing for the other person, no skill can compensate for emotional attachment.

Working in the kitchen, it’s either you got extremely lucky that you find a team with people that just as serious as you but can still have a good time OR, find out that you skill and passions don’t matter, the co workers don’t care, as long as thing get done in time at a low standard. After a while, you become so jaded that you start to lose your own passion and alcohol/drug how you get through bullshit like this post.

I protested my exe chef for 6 months to the board and CFO, they said I had a bad attitude and such. I resigned after 12 years there. One month after I left the fired the exe, two cooks, lost the new sous after 1 day.
Didn’t even make me feel validated or anything I’m just more mad. Find a new job king

Is it supposed to be reheated in an oven, and then get properly cooked, or is it just a sloppy mess?

I once was given the head chef job at a restaurant after the previous one was fired. A week later the GM and our CDC (who’re both recovered alcoholics) hired a guy who’s cooking experience was that he worked salad station at PF Changs and told me and my sous chef he would be taking over the kitchen. Within two days I rage quit because this guy was disgusting. Cooking salmon in pans that had had meat in them, serving food with patty paper in them, not cleaning the line before leaving etc. They hired this guy because he was 3 months sober and “working the program with them.” I came in several months later and the guy had no call no showed after a payday because he did a bunch of meth.
Best advice, just start looking for another job.

I’ll take the parfried salmon on the wilted greens with a side of rancid dressing please. You can’t make me that ? Why not ? The other chef did !
Producer_Earth
That is a raw piece of fish
Wise_Monitor_Lizard
Yum, salmon with a side of gut worms lol

Half-cooked? More like grilled for 10 seconds on an open candle. It’s raw.

It’s incredibly difficult to work under someone with lower standards than you. Fullstop.

I have seen better looking salmon at a $12 Mondays buffet

Half cooked is generous.

Terrible cook on the fish.
Any why is it skinless? Best way to enjoy salmon is to get that skin nice and crispy.

If I found this I would document, assume the authority and Let the guy go myself and deal with the owner later.
And if that cost me my job, I would be ok with it.

has this world class chef ever cooked a piece of salmon in their entire life? Did they just put in on a red hot pan for 8 seconds and then take it out? I’ve seen amateur high school line cooks grill a salmon better than that, JFC. Dude should be fired immediately. I had a test for anyone who applied to my kitchens. Lull them with some softball shit, them hand them a nice 18oz strip and tell them to cook it medium rare. Weeded out a lot of dumbfucks with that one strategy lol. You either understand how cooking meat on a grill/pan seareing works, or you fucking dont.

At every job you should either learn or earn. Either is fine. Both is best. But if it’s neither, quit.

How do you even over and under cook salmon?

As a customer: I don’t want to eat that. Because I don’t enjoy gastrointestinal distress.

A cook who says that protein left at room temp overnight is “still good” should be slapped and immediately fired.

Remind me to find out where you work and never eat from that chef.
