I temped one once because the health inspector was there and she laughed at me for it. And it's not just the temp of the meat. This isn't meat that's going to taste delicious in a rare burger. Gotta melt that fat into the gristly bits. The texture is remarkably unpleasant until it's warm through. Med rare is fine.

YggiDee posted:I don't know what the deal is in other countries but in Canada if you serve a burger under 71°C the health inspectors will have your rear end. The explanation I've been given is that the ground beef... Grinding process means any bacteria that was only on the outside of the meat may have gotten inside so it's gotta be at e.coli killing temps the whole way through. You shave off the exterior of the meat prior to grinding it for burgers or dicing it up for tartare

I'm just saying, if some one is ordering a rare burger from a dive bar, let them take their own chances. I worked at a diner where you could order something rare and we might accidently overcook it, but if we didn't you wouldn't get sick. And a kid (13ish I think, pre-puberty but barely) wanted a medium-rare burger and his parents wouldn't let him order it. I wanted to yell at them "he might not like it, but it's not gonna make him sick."

With the way industrial supply chains are going haywire and FDA being gutted, I'm not inclined to eat rare or raw products in restaurants.

Why is that such a strange concept? When i used to live in Nepal and was a hiking guide, it was necessary to stop western tourists from eating raw foods other wise you ended up with a lot of stomach problems. Not just because of possible pathogens on the food, but because the water used to clean said products was not potable. Practically all village cooking involved heavy cooking or pickling of produce precisely because of health dangers. NJ just had a long term Boil Water warning after the Ida storm and who knows what process restaurants are using for food prep. Water and food infrastructure is failing around the country coupled with the fact that the restaurant industry is well known for cutting corners doesn't really make me confident in doing so.

Boiling my food in the water that will kill me might technically be OK but I'd have a hard time with it.

Thinking about that time when training alongside a few others on shaping and proofing pizza doughs of the three of us balling dough, one of them completely failed to rise at all, like the yeast was dead. But they all came from the same mixer batch. That dude didn't wash his hands I bet.

My dining hall is back in business for fully in-person, indoor Covid spreading. We require guests to wear masks at all times they're not eating, but unless we hire the Pinkertons or something, we're not going to have the manpower to enforce that. Not that it even loving matters, since Covid doesn't just take a time out when you're eating. And all the new plexiglass dividers do is make it more difficult for me to hear people trying to ask me if the food is gluten-free. On the plus side, our vaccination rate is sky high, so we might be one of the success stories. There's a dedicated quarantine dorm and the rumor going around is that it's getting plenty of use. But all the distancing restrictions are long gone, so having these kids three-to-a-dorm-room is guaranteeing spread. At least there's still free testing available. Line cook has been the deadliest (for Covid) profession this whole time and I don't remember management ever talking to us about that fact. I don't even know if they know that. We had one guy die last year and that was without service, without Delta, and without "Open Biden." I guess I'm just venting. But I feel like what we're doing would be a lot safer if we... well, just didn't do it. Somebody's gotta feed these kids, though. And they're basically threatening to have mental health meltdowns and riot if classes go back to Zoom meetings, so I don't think admin is going to stomach a return to the only thing that absolutely works: keeping people the hell away from each other.

Today my boss told me that here in Washington state starting October 25th all indoor restaurant seating will require either proof of vaccination or a negative covid test within the past 72 hours. Outdoor seating will have no restrictions. His plan is to do the ol' "make the outdoor seating indoors" via tents and space heaters like we saw last year but I don't envy the FoH having to wrangle the incredulous dickheads who barely tolerate wearing a mask to their table.

Seems to me that food trucks might help a little with this issue, provided everyone in the truck is vaccinated and tests negative anyways. People can order and eat outside and you can have the plexi shield up over the ordering window.

Tuition strike. College kids have been complaining about high tuition, campus fees, book prices and bloated overpaid administration for years. This pandemic is the perfect opportunity to fight back. Student loan debt strike, too. Kick them in the balls. We're human beings, not livestock.

At at least the university I work at, tuition has been frozen by the legislature for years. I'm pretty sure they can't even lower it, although they were able to find some funds for special "grants" for more people. That sounds great for the students, but it's not, because the legislature has also cut funding for the school by a billion percent, plus they made the university get rid of their emergency cash fund about 5 years before the pandemic hit. Student loan debt, i'm completely with you. That poo poo is hosed. But the main reason tuitions are soaring (at least for state schools) are that the legislature has killed funding in most states.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing. a student loan strike. It's not just that I stopped paying it because I wanted to buy food or pay rent instead.

I've cut myself super bad on sugar syrup. Was making an italian meringue for a yacht cruise and was in a bit of a rush. Poured the sugar into the egg whites and then quickly sprayed out the saucepan. I went back a few minutes later to scrub it out and the sugar had turned into jagged blades and just ripped my palm open. Not good. Anyway Hi thread I'm poohs packin I was a chef for a long time but finally exited the industry last year.
