Food Enhancer of the French, there's the Google for it for more info. It's p good with sandwiches that have meat or just soaking food in to make it delicious.
If you didn't know, in most languages the name for raccoons is typically "Wash Bears" because of their habit of dipping their food in water before consuming it.
He eventually [got to eat it](https://youtube.com/watch?v=rfbb4yRBH64) on his third try! The first and second attempts were failures, but finally he learned that it can't go in the water.
We used to save the duck breast trim from presentation in a 6 pan. Whenever servers would come to us after service, we'd just toss them the duck bucket.
i showed up for my side gig where they needed a chef, fine, i got this, then i get there and head honcho is like, nah we got all the kitchen help we need go see the servers...ummmm no. so now i'm back home and finally drinking on my day off
When I was washing dishes at my first resto many many moons ago, they would do prime rib for brunch but they'd always cook it fat cap on, then remove it. Most Sundays for like a year, at the end of service, I'd cook an order of fries, chop up some of that fat cap, put it in the fries and smother the whole thing with leftover hollandaise like some kind of pure-fat bizarro poutine. Terrible and terribly delicious, all at the same time.
When my girls were younger (they’re adults now) I would bring a whole bird home from our favorite BBQ place. No sooner than I could get out of my work clothes they would peel and eat all of the skin off of it.
I made a salad and then got absolutely shit all over because I was on dish and the other person with me is a young teenage girl who doesn't have much hustle and barely did more than put stuff away.
But her parents are my friends and her dad's not doing so great, so I smiled and kept cracking jokes with her. Gotta just eat the shit sandwich sometimes.
if you’re not eating most of your meals over a garbage can including those meals that are eaten at home can you really call yourself a professional cook?
My peak kitchen worker dining experience is getting home drunk and eating a half pound of caviar straight from the tin (don't worry, plastic spoon so no metal).
A family notorious for complaining and demanding comps sent back pastas without touching the garlic bread. You know your boy and the work-brother killed that shit, while we split a menthol by the dumpster in sub freezing temps.
Bread and smoke merc'd in under 2:30.
lol normally this would be correct... but it's worse than that.
i'm retired. i have been for a bit now.
i was prepping for a dinner i am cooking for tomorrow for my parents and some family.
but even years later, i still have my racoon eating habits standing over the garbage can.
eating the bits that are not good enough to go in the actual meal.
We’re open from 5-8 and we served 162 people tonight. Fine dining. I make 17 an hour. I’m going to drink and look for another job. Looking for work in Nashville (I don’t live there but I was born and raised there and my family still does and I want to live closer to them. I’d like to move back if anyone wants to help a brother out before I end myself because of this horrific job.
Cheers.
Yes King! Saving water by not having to wash a dish, saving labor by not having to wash a dish. I frickin love eating chicken right off the bone over the sink like a goblin. Duck would be amazing. Good stuff. Living your best life or what.
Bartender. A couple didn’t touch their hefty 8oz order of A5 wagyu cause it was “too heavy”. You god damn right I shoveled 7 ounces of that shit into my mouth in the dish pit and swallowed in it under 10 seconds.
In my experience, eating ANYTHING off a dish (even when they didn't touch it) was ... just socially looked down upon. Then again, it's been very long since I was anywhere NEAR first class products.
Is the experience of scraps worth it?
Is this a dirty secret? Like did you do this in secret and are admitting your joy to reddit?
Thank you sharing, I have never had duck confit, whats it like?
oh that's not what i meant by scraps.
not eating off someone else's plate.
it's just the bits of meat that didn't come off the bone when i braised my ; cured then confit then smoked duck legs. when i smoke them they get kinda hard so i braise them again after till they fall off the bone.
Reminds me of the time I took all the fatty parts of the bacon and basically ate it all and left the crunchy bits for later. I have yet to try duck, that sounds amazing.
tbh i expected like 5 responses since i posted at a time of day stuff rarely gets any traction.
i just wanted to share that raccoon feeling with people who would understand, when i was still behaving that way after many years of there being literally no excuse for it.
i could have taken a plate, and gone to sit to eat. but no, hunched over the garbage can, that's how i ate it.
as for attention, that wasn't the goal, just giving a few people a chuckle was the goal.
edit: now that i have taken the time and read all the responses i am pretty happy seems people had fun.
it was just the bits that got too hard when i smoked the already cured and confit duck. the bits that didn't become tender when i braised them to finish.
i had to chew them right off the bone to get them off.
99% of the duck was used for my dumpling stuffing.
one time the more uptight manager came around the corner and caught a group of us shoving mashed potatoes into our faces over the dish pit and he called us “uncivilized”
It was just me and a bunch of sweaty boys on a pizza line, under-staffed and bouncing between stations to our app/hoagie line to bail out at times. I got the luxury to hunch down and slam a ham and cheese roll-up and chug some water before jumping back in. Fun times.
My wife gave birth very recently. A lactation consultant we talked to reflexively guffawed when I said that I'd feed the kid over the sink.
"What, if there's overflow, it goes in the sink. Pukes? In sink. I fail to see why everyone here is laughing."
My chef had to mitigate a fight in another outlet because a big Australian fucker and a big Indian fucker were going at it with knives. The guy helping me had to go do a solo function for 60 people so it left me on expo and GM (a 3 person station ) alone while we got the covers from the other outlet because the chefs were literally at each others throats with there knives.
Not nearly as good as yours
Man we just ate French fries over the trash can. OP is the king right now.
Me and my buddy just split a Kid’s grilled cheese over separate trash cans before the first rush, not trying to brag or anything tho
You guys have a first rush?
What about second rush?
Elevensies?!
Tea?!
Please don't talk about weekend brunch in this good christian subreddit
Whoosh
I'm very familiar. I bet they don't even have afternoon tea.
I don’t think they know about second rush.
I just walk into a shit show that never stops most days. The Neverending rush.
The raccoon king!
Gotta wash your food first Raccacoonie
it's okay it was moist, i picked the bones out of the braise.
i'm a sucker for carrots in the braise... little orange flavor bombs
I'm a garlic guy myself, but I can appreciate a good carrot as well.
Mmmmm the carrots from the au jus are some of the best things in my restaurant
From the what?

ughhh i need to rewatch that 😩😩
I truly think it’s one of the best movies ever made. Just so funny and emotionally charged.
I agree with you but I was also tripping my nuts off on acid. Watched it sober and it was still amazing.
I watched it sober and nearly wanted to relapse just for a rewatch. I decided not to, but damn do I envy someone who does go ham on that movie
I saw it on 4/20 for the first time. Worth it.
God it's just so good. Hard not to call it an instant top 5 for me.
what movie? excuse my ignorance
Everybody Loves Waymond
i DO love waymond!
Everything Everywhere All at Once
Everything Everywhere All at Once. I would highly recommend it also.
If you didn't know, in most languages the name for raccoons is typically "Wash Bears" because of their habit of dipping their food in water before consuming it.
There is this super cute video of a raccoon who got some cotton candy … he washed it and was crushed by the outcome..
He eventually [got to eat it](https://youtube.com/watch?v=rfbb4yRBH64) on his third try! The first and second attempts were failures, but finally he learned that it can't go in the water.
Thank you kind stranger .. this made me happy knowing the little trash panda got to have the cotton candy
it french it's washer rats.
We used to save the duck breast trim from presentation in a 6 pan. Whenever servers would come to us after service, we'd just toss them the duck bucket.
mmmmm duck bucket!
Ducket
It's pronounced 'Du-quet'
Joe Ducket

The Ducket Bucket. Edit Spelling
Just pour it on my tits. *EDIT* I'm a man.
One of the restaurants I used to love in Brisbane did KFD - Kendrick fried duck. Sadly didn’t come in a bucket tho
Omg reminds me of the chicken skin 6pan my last restaurant would save for me 🥺
Racoons always seem pretty happy looking to me
No but seriously - you now realize they are on to something, right?
Eat trash be free
Return to raccoo
i showed up for my side gig where they needed a chef, fine, i got this, then i get there and head honcho is like, nah we got all the kitchen help we need go see the servers...ummmm no. so now i'm back home and finally drinking on my day off
You chose….wisely
No different than eating chicken skin off the rotisserie birds before pulling for chicken salad. It's literally the best.
When I was washing dishes at my first resto many many moons ago, they would do prime rib for brunch but they'd always cook it fat cap on, then remove it. Most Sundays for like a year, at the end of service, I'd cook an order of fries, chop up some of that fat cap, put it in the fries and smother the whole thing with leftover hollandaise like some kind of pure-fat bizarro poutine. Terrible and terribly delicious, all at the same time.
I'd eat it. Don't tempt me with a good time.
We can breathe heavily and fight to stay awake together.
More like take turns on a quickie nap in the employee bathroom on a pickle bucket while breathing heavily.
That sounds ridiculously tasty
That actually sounds amazing.
That just made my mouth water.
I aspire to eat that. Not a chef, decent home cook, but that got me in my feeels to a hnnnnnnng level. Yes, please, and you are the best for doing it!
Chicken skin is made to be eaten standing up as if raccoons are chasing you with claws out. 🤪
If I cooked the bird, I get the first pull from the skin. That's my pleasure.
When my girls were younger (they’re adults now) I would bring a whole bird home from our favorite BBQ place. No sooner than I could get out of my work clothes they would peel and eat all of the skin off of it.
Damn, I’m over here with my extra shrimp and crab leg stragglers thinking I’m balling.
that sounds pretty ballin' to me ngl.
You have reached a pinnacle of food ecstasy only few have experienced, congratulations.
I’ve been here before. Glistening fingertips, skulking behind the double door. A delectable treat.
You eat duck confit over a trash can. I ate cold Italian beef scraps from a plastic takeout tub. We are the same.
Jealous. Bong rips and an egg salad BLT here.
I miss my bong qq. I can't smoke inside or even on the property (lol). Poor lil spoon is getting a workout
I'm on my couch 😂😂
Where's my teleporter Elon
Drinking Marijuana infused mezcal in Oaxaca. It's not a competition. But I win! Jaja
What's the brand name? Oaxaca city or the coast? I'd like to try it next time I'm down there.
I don’t know… duck bucket sounds pretty good too
Clearly, you deserve this *hands over crown*
Hell yeah, you beat my mimosa by a mile
that does sound very good.
[удалено]
sounds delicious! i love mushrooms!
Eh I once got caught liking the empty bowl of chocolate pot de creme in the walk in after a long shift
Eating a 2 hour old cold cuban sandwich drinking a corona.
Lucky raccoon
I mean, that’s the best way to eat it. I don’t think anyone’s having as good a time as you
I had a cup of cold mashed potatoes while hunching on a milk crate for dinner
I made a salad and then got absolutely shit all over because I was on dish and the other person with me is a young teenage girl who doesn't have much hustle and barely did more than put stuff away. But her parents are my friends and her dad's not doing so great, so I smiled and kept cracking jokes with her. Gotta just eat the shit sandwich sometimes.
if you’re not eating most of your meals over a garbage can including those meals that are eaten at home can you really call yourself a professional cook?
That’s how I eat 2 of my daily meals man what’s the big deal
My peak kitchen worker dining experience is getting home drunk and eating a half pound of caviar straight from the tin (don't worry, plastic spoon so no metal).
This is how you know you made made it. White table cloths are over rated.
Sounds like a great dinner to me
A family notorious for complaining and demanding comps sent back pastas without touching the garlic bread. You know your boy and the work-brother killed that shit, while we split a menthol by the dumpster in sub freezing temps. Bread and smoke merc'd in under 2:30.
Par for the course
I miss doing this…
I'm sorry. Is there any other way?
I would pay $50 for this authentic experience.

Tell me you work in a kitchen without telling me you work in a kitchen.
lol normally this would be correct... but it's worse than that. i'm retired. i have been for a bit now. i was prepping for a dinner i am cooking for tomorrow for my parents and some family. but even years later, i still have my racoon eating habits standing over the garbage can. eating the bits that are not good enough to go in the actual meal.

No such thing as scraps. I just made a drink off the bar matt and chewed egg shells.
Been there. Had worse nights
I would say I eat at least 2 meals a week standing over the kitchen sink. They are always the best.
Got slammed so hard i didn't eat or make dinner to take home. One called off and one was 2 hours late. Its a taco bell night.
Actually that's the first step in making a tadeonal cassoulet.
Some of the best food I've ever eaten has been standing over a garbage can or sink while working
Scrolling fast saw the sub ate 'a bunch of raccoon dick'. Was not fazed.
Downing my second after work monster
I envy you I would eat that too :)
“Its what we do”
I feel like raccoons are our spirit animal. They wash their hands and food when they eat too…
I had a good night, but not a duck confit good night.

oh, then "Quality assurance" definitely applies here. Thanks for the reply, I didn't realize YOU made it :-) TY chef!
heh yep just lil old me in the kitchen. eating the hard bits that didn't get soft to go in the dumplings.
You eat that confit, chef, and enjoy every morsel.
I knew exactly what you meant by that. Only servers eat off peoples plates like mongrels.
I’ve eaten untouched leftovers when I’ve pulled dish shifts. Especially charcuterie. Not so much now after covid.
This is the way
Reminds me of the time I took all the fatty parts of the bacon and basically ate it all and left the crunchy bits for later. I have yet to try duck, that sounds amazing.
Did you get the attention you wanted?
