We make tobacco bitters in house and use them in a 'coffee and cigarettes' (basically bourbon, coffee vermouth that we also infuse ourselves, bitters, and simple) and that poo poo is our highest selling cocktail by something stupid like 30%. In a place that does 50% of sales as cocktails.

I've never heard of using tobacco as a food flavoring, and as a filthy smoker: intrigued, subscribing to your newsletter, etc. What kind of tobacco do you y'all use? Continuing on the Simpsons references, a Bloody Mary with tobacco just reminds me of the "tomacco" episode. "Eesh, that's terrible! Give me another one" (probably misquoting, it's been a while since I saw that one) Liquid Communism posted:Ain't killed me yet, and I'm pushing 40.

Just turned 44, and the only thing keeping me alive is pickling my body tissues every night then lubing up my arteries every morning working at a southern breakfast joint. They work in tandem, you see

The oldest tobacco shop in Canada (maybe just Ontario? But I think Canada) is literally just around the corner from my restaurant, so we got there and they give us some real high quality pipe tobacco and then we put that poo poo in booze for a while and make bitters.

Everyone be careful using tobacco in food, ESPECIALLY if infusing alcohol with it. Nicotine is very toxic and its really hard to judge the strength in solution. And if you give it to someone with no nicotine tolerance they won't have a fun time.

They're talking about a tobacco infused bitters, so it's not going into food and they probably aren't using more than 3 drops in a 4-7 Oz drink.

That article basically confirms my suspicion, though I’ll check FDA more thoroughly tomorrow. It’s Hella Illegal in the US, for good reason. Cripes. Edit: it probably falls under OTP now, and would then qualify as an illegally marketed new tobacco product. Edit 2: yeah definitely a tobacco product not approved under the office of tobacco products Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 04:35 on May 17, 2018 |

We've done a poo poo ton of research (I haven't personally so I'm not about to pull up links, I'm the chef, not part of the bar program), and tobacco infusions are absolutely a no-go and not safe for consumption. The bitters are more like a drop into a 3oz cocktail, and we've thoroughly checked with the necessary governing bodies to make sure they're ok with it. We've sold thousands of the things at this point and had zero issues thus far.

Im fat so im not trying to wear any super tight under armor type shirts. Probably get the knockoff version, but I have a closet full of these. They're nice because they shed splashes and stains like a coat, while being light enough and short sleeved enough to be comfy in heat. Screw underarmor, it melts to skin if you get splashed with hot grease. Regular t-shirts just soak up splashes. Also, wear an apron. That's what they're for. Ablative cover.

Yeah, if you have no dress code like my place, I just rock some of my old tees that I don't care about getting oil spots on, and am lucky enough to have a husband that worked the demo cook position for Trader Joes for 8 years. They provided employees with aprons for free and for keeps, so I've got like a dozen in various colors that I rotate out. The apron is your friend, my fry/flour station comrade. Also, totally off topic, but one thing I love about my current kitchen is that we have a couple aloe plants in the windows. My teenage grill guy burned his fingers today, and I was right there with a broken stem. He didn't even know what an aloe did, let alone that we had one back in the kitchen. He treated me like I was a sorceress or something for the rest of the day. Pro-tip: if you don't already have an aloe in your store, get one.

I'm trying to parse this out, because some of the aforementioned TJs aprons choke the poo poo outta me, especially if I'm carrying a lot of crap in the pockets. You got a pic of this technique, CdC?

Leave me alone, I'm eating We hate when people raise their hand for attention. Checking on a table early in a meal makes sure they got everything they ordered and it's correct. Sometimes I screw up an order, still rare, but much more frequent than my own mistakes is the kitchen fucks something up and there are so many people who would rather write a lovely review on yelp, mentioning me by name, than raise their hand and tell me there's pickles on their burger when they said no pickles. Edit: that's not to say the kitchen fucks up more often than front of house, it's just that I'm the only person my customers order from but there's almost always 2-4 people who deal with that order in the kitchen, so if we all make the same amount of mistakes, from my perspective at least twice as many mistakes come from the kitchen.

Or just get a chef’s shirt/coat with a collar and tuck the neck strap underneath, that way when you walk through the FOH the customers don’t see cooks wearing filthy, greasy clothes.
