Ahhhh, oh so true guys and gals. I'm currently newly single again, with no huge rush to get into a fast relationship. So, when I don't have my daughter, like most said, it's frozen burritos, frozen pizza, chicken tenders, etc, and a cold beer or two. I do try to get at least half decent quality frozen food. Try not to scratch the bottom of barrel too often. Like others have said, I always have the go to add ons and modifiers for the pizza and burritos, lol.
We make family (boh staff only, FOH gets 50 percent off most of the menu) meal every day. I just rarely eat it. And whoever makes family meal always does a great job, really. After working in kitchens for so long I just usually am not feeling it. And since at my current workplace I am exec chef, I have the privilege to whip up anything (on the menu or not) for myself, but again. I rarely do. If anything I'll whip up something real nice, aside from the staff meal, later on in the night, and give it to whoever is in the dishpit. Dishwashers get paid the least, and are so soo valuable. I always try and make sure I make then a little something special.
And
@Koukouvagia , believe me, it sounds weird, and might be hard to understand, but it's just the way it is I guess. I think it's much different for servers or host/hostesses than it is for cooks. As other people have stated, the food myself and my staff put out are amazing. Our ingredients are great quality, and they always execute. But again, like somebody else pointed out. After tasting almost every stock, dressing, soup, dish, at all stages of the cooking process, all different, sour, savory, rich, acidic, sweet, salty, bitter, garlicky, creamy etc, it's often just a turn off.
I forget who said it, but I also a lot of the time with go for a couple strips of our cherry or apple wood house smoked bacon for that rich fatty protein kick.
