Cutting a cup of chives every day until this Reddit says they’re perfect. Day 20


Sorry about the small batch of chives. All my chives are starting to go bad so I’m working with what I got. I’ll get some new fresh ones for tmr.

Anyone asking about my knife. The brand is Seki Kanetsugu and the knife line under that brand is Shiun, I can’t find any independent website for the brand but most reputable knife website seems to carry this brand, just look up Seki Kanetsugu Shiun and it’ll bring up a few.

    You’re slipping. Quality is even worse than last time. Pull yourself up and get your shit together. You got this.

    Alright we get it you can cut chives, let’s see your chiffonade game

    WHAT DID YOU CUT THIS WITH? A TABLE SAW?! DISGUSTING! now give me two more cups for the baked potatoes and get back to work. See you tomorrow chef!

    Ngl, I feel like you got lazy and rushed this batch compared to the others this week. Don’t let burnout get to you – tomorrow pretend it is Day 1

    This is the content that I want for Reddit. No influencer nonsense. Just nice fucking chives.

    I came here to follow this saga. I don’t know much about knife cuts, and I’m only a home cook, but I can say I see improvement in the consistency between Day 1 and Day 20 for sure. Keep going, it’s clearly paying dividends.

    I can’t believe I’m seeing the one and only u/F1exican so early into yet another iconic chives post. Truly, I am blessed this day with good fortune.

    May your chives always be perfect, Chef.

    I’m no expert, and I have done no rigerous analysis, but it seems like the piles are getting noticeably smaller.

    Running out of chives, are we?

  31. Durnta69

    Why am I zooming in on the picture?

    Why do I want to every day?

    God damn chives?

    Fuckin reddit I love/hate you!

    For 20 days I’ve been coming here for the comments. I don’t even work in a fucking kitchen. Reddit thinks I do because of these chives. I get a ton of r/KitchenConfidential recommendations now bc how deep in the comments I go every day. I look forward to this every day. You people are out here doing Gods work. The daily anticipation of F1exican, the Chivelord, passing this impossible task is damn near unbearable. I’ll look at the pic as a mere pedestrian and think “Oh shit today’s got to be the day!” Then scroll down to the comments to find someone with a more discerning eye has entrapped him for yet another day. I then feel overwhelming relief that this dance continues. Does he know that we’ll never let him go?

    It’s not perfect until you cut them all to approximately the same size and lay them out in a perfect grid

  37. Tangerine-Treason

    I’ve honestly been loving the evolution of this

    OP, if it means anything, this post has become a daily thing my son and I look for every day. When we find it, we yell out, “Found him! Try again, hahaha!”

    In all seriousness, kudos to your dedication. Remember: you will always be able to find someone who thinks your work is shit. They are just words, but what you are doing is actions.

    Keep up the hard work and dedication to achieve perfection; Kaizen!!

    My main concern: you apologize for the small batch of chives, and it does look like it’s considerably less than previous posts. Is this even a cup of chives like you’re claiming to cut? I need to see it weighed out

    Edit: actually I saw in one of your comments that you’ve confirmed that it’s less than a cup. Sorry boss, I have to shut you down. You said you would cut a cup a day but you’ve gone and lied. This calls the entire operation into question. I can reconsider once you chop the rest of the cup
