I wasn’t sure why Sohla didn’t put one long dowel down the ‘middle’ (the spot where all the layers overlapped) of the tower for extra stability.

She was putting cardboard rounds between every few layers. I'm bad at cakes but I think that's to ensure a flat surface? It'd probably make putting a dowl down the center hard. Even still if the cake leaned too much it's still gonna break away from the dowl.

I think I've posted this lady before but these vids of her cooking insane amounts of vegetarian food to feed her entire village are really good and quite relaxing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tflTpuMzFIA E: also I have no practical use for it but I want one of those big potato machines. flashy_mcflash fucked around with this message at 14:53 on Dec 16, 2020 |

David Chang: A Dick

David Chang posted:“I will scalp you,” Dave screamed. “I will murder your loving family!” What the loving gently caress? The part where it mentions he loves to talk about liking Bud Light and Dominoes. No poo poo. I've never worked in a restaurant, but I'm pretty sure the last thing I'd wanna do when getting home is cook more. I even remember an episode of No Reservations where Bourdain mentioned his death row last meal would probably be KFC.

I recently re-read Bourdain's Medium Raw (2010, so likely right at the height of Momofuku madness?) and Tony profiles Dave Chang in it a bit. His takeaway was he was an explosively angry and hostile boss but talented, IIRC e: not that it is cool or acceptable for anyone to be a massive dick to their coworkers much less subordinates Eat This Glob fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Dec 22, 2020 |

I worked as a dishwasher in a "casual" cafe for like 4 months and the boss does scream at you to move your rear end and threaten to pulverize you and you see the veins popping out. It was normal and sucked. Imagine the kitchen introduction scene in Ratatouille but not funny.

I still listen to Chang's podcasts even though he's kind of insufferable on them. He talks about his bipolar disorder and getting treatment for his anger issues, so it's on his radar. Doesn't excuse the past though, and maybe there hasn't been much improvement.

That ending thoquote:What does restitution look like to those of us harmed by Dave and what he built? Yes, it was different then, and our culture has changed, and I understand that he is working toward becoming a better person. I also believe that he owes a tithe beyond an apology. (Releasing every former employee from any nondisclosure agreement that prevents them from talking about what they experienced at Momofuku might be a start.) For all that Dave has edited in and out of this narrative, what he cannot change is the trauma left in his wake. The one thing he can offer up that is commensurate with the scope and scale of the grief he has caused is the space he occupies in restaurants and in culture: He can cede it to someone who will use it to change this toxic industry that has broken so many of us. Sounds like he does have other people running the restaurants on site now.

The restaurant industry is one of the most exploitative and abusive industries of contemporary western capitalism. There's a whole other thread for people that live it, in this very subforum. Babish' tatts are cool though.

I even remember an episode of No Reservations where Bourdain mentioned his death row last meal would probably be KFC. I think her point isn't that a chef should be expected to want something cheffy and fancy to eat, but that he uses his professed fondness for Bud Light and Domino's (both everyman brands) as part of managing his image and making himself seem less like an rear end in a top hat who needs to actually apologize and atone for his abusive behavior, and more like a Cool Chef whose abuse is just something you have to accept if you want great food.

Adding plain sugar to something that isn't baked or dessert is just a failure of cooking skill and quality ingredients. Or laziness which is fine too.

Adding sugar when cooking seems to be a pretty common step in a lot of Chinese (traditional and westernized) and Japanese cuisine to balance out flavours. Adding sugar to pizza sauce also seems pretty common among respected chefs -- I know Kenji does it in his serious eats recipe for pizzas, and you can see him do it in a lot of meals (when appropriate) he makes in his videos.
