Thanks everyone for putting me in check, I probably had that coming. And the positive words/suggestions. Pretty clear I need to take a day off and reevaluate my poo poo. Sorry for making GBS threads up the thread.

So like 2 weeks ago, I got hit by a car on my way to work on my bike. Got an appt with a lawyer tomorrow, had a concussion, possible permanent knee damage, and about $1k in damages just to my bike.


I just might be able to pay off a student loan by the end of all of this.

:( that sucks man. I've known a couple people who have been killed by bike on car accidents, glad you're at least still alive. glad also you've lawyered up.

tbh though, restaurants with a brewery attached do pretty well though right? I mean yeah, food ain't gonna be where you make your money, alcohol floats everything, but when you're making your own alcohol at $15c/pint and selling it for $5-7....

dunno, please convince me not to throw all my money away and try to open a restaurant. please.

I escaped today with a slight mandolin "gently caress you" on my thumb for the first time ever and I would like to hear horror stories now. Go:

my first restaurant job the head chef was super proud he had maneuvered his way into The Most Expensive Mandoline Ever - I don't 'know what it was, but it was a big deal because it was sharp as poo poo and all stainless steel.

I had a couple jobs, all involving that loving mandoline. I think one was peeling and slicing raw yucca for our yucca potato chips, and the other was doing a matchstick of daikon for a salad.

anyways, that loving mandoline was something stupid. I literally shredded my fingers on it more times than I care to remember. I finally one day refused to do that poo poo any more, I was making like $0.00/hr, and pretty much said gently caress this. the sous gave me a rag to use as a fingerguard and showed me how to not cut the poo poo out of myself, which I appreciate today since I don't cut the gently caress out of myself anymore on mandolines, but due to a compounding shitstorm of other reasons I still quit citing the stupid mandoline and I'm pretty sure that experience has shaped my life in one way or another.

The best way to stop the bleeding is to jam your hand into the deep fryer. You will not be bleeding anymore.

How do people cut themselves on a mandolin or slicer? Use a towel on the mandolin, and pay attention when cleaning the slicer.

  • be 17
  • have noone ever tell you to use a towel on your mandolin

yeah I generally enjoy spicy poo poo in hot weather, and gumbo is usually served lukewarm anyways. I can get down on some cajun food (or soondubujjigae) any hot day of the week. at the very least, sweat theory aside, they're both liquidy and make you want to drink tons of water, which is perfect for being out and busting your rear end in the sun.

Mellow Mushroom owns and the $2.50 pint drink special on Tuesdays is awesome.

That's all I have.

I unironically applied for head of culinary creative at mellow mushroom like maybe 9 years ago despite having very little industry experience (but having a decent business resume otherwise) - a friend of a friend knew the owner - and I was young and pretty sure even then that whoever read my cover letter would just laugh me off the block - but goddamnit I applied and loving tried.





glad I didn't get that job, seeing where they ended up taking it.
