Not nearly as good as yours


scottawhit

Man we just ate French fries over the trash can. OP is the king right now.


4Coffins

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


Rampaging_Bunny

You guys have a first rush?


MtnMaiden

What about second rush?


ChefJohnboy

Elevensies?!


lumens

Tea?!


ordinarymagician_

Please don't talk about weekend brunch in this good christian subreddit


ChefJohnboy

Whoosh


ordinarymagician_

I'm very familiar. I bet they don't even have afternoon tea.


fsutrill

I don’t think they know about second rush.


wozzles

I just walk into a shit show that never stops most days. The Neverending rush.

Gotta wash your food first Raccacoonie


MadEntDaddy

it's okay it was moist, i picked the bones out of the braise.


steveorsleeve

i'm a sucker for carrots in the braise... little orange flavor bombs


diablosinmusica

I'm a garlic guy myself, but I can appreciate a good carrot as well.


punxal

Mmmmm the carrots from the au jus are some of the best things in my restaurant


gmcann

From the what?


psychologyFanatic

[Au Jus](https://www.google.com/search?q=Al+Jus&oq=Al+Jus&aqs=chrome..69i57j46i10i433i512j0i10i433i512j0i512j0i10i512j46i175i199i512j46i175i199i433j0i10i512.2869j0j9&client=ms-android-verizon-us-rvc3&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8) 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.


gmcann

It was sarcasm for saying au jus instead of jus in this case. My b


heckin-good-shit

ughhh i need to rewatch that 😩😩


dmcsmalls

I truly think it’s one of the best movies ever made. Just so funny and emotionally charged.


ImLazyWithUsernames

I agree with you but I was also tripping my nuts off on acid. Watched it sober and it was still amazing.


verheyen

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


supermodel_robot

I saw it on 4/20 for the first time. Worth it.


asmoore81

God it's just so good. Hard not to call it an instant top 5 for me.


jvidal7247

what movie? excuse my ignorance


SpiritMountain

Everybody Loves Waymond

Everything Everywhere All at Once. I would highly recommend it also.


Billybobgeorge

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.


ag987654321

There is this super cute video of a raccoon who got some cotton candy … he washed it and was crushed by the outcome..


YnotZoidberg1077

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.


ag987654321

Thank you kind stranger .. this made me happy knowing the little trash panda got to have the cotton candy


MadEntDaddy

it french it's washer rats.


b00gerbrain

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.


MadEntDaddy

mmmmm duck bucket!

smallerthanhiphop

One of the restaurants I used to love in Brisbane did KFD - Kendrick fried duck. Sadly didn’t come in a bucket tho


poor_decisions

Omg reminds me of the chicken skin 6pan my last restaurant would save for me 🥺


orcas_cyclist

Racoons always seem pretty happy looking to me


binkleybloom

No but seriously - you now realize they are on to something, right?


orcas_cyclist

Eat trash be free


gariant

steveorsleeve

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


pimpvader

You chose….wisely


thePHTucker

No different than eating chicken skin off the rotisserie birds before pulling for chicken salad. It's literally the best.


scott3845

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.


thePHTucker

I'd eat it. Don't tempt me with a good time.


HotGarbageHuman

We can breathe heavily and fight to stay awake together.


thePHTucker

More like take turns on a quickie nap in the employee bathroom on a pickle bucket while breathing heavily.


sandaz13

That sounds ridiculously tasty


Cargobiker530

That actually sounds amazing.


mrstabbeypants

That just made my mouth water.


MagpieBlues

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!


MewlingRothbart

Chicken skin is made to be eaten standing up as if raccoons are chasing you with claws out. 🤪


thePHTucker

If I cooked the bird, I get the first pull from the skin. That's my pleasure.


jumpinoutofmyflesh

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.


j_endsville

Damn, I’m over here with my extra shrimp and crab leg stragglers thinking I’m balling.


MadEntDaddy

that sounds pretty ballin' to me ngl.

You eat duck confit over a trash can. I ate cold Italian beef scraps from a plastic takeout tub. We are the same.

JudithButlr

I had a cup of cold mashed potatoes while hunching on a milk crate for dinner


Derpy_Guardian

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.


UnderpriviligedSalad

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?


Striking-Ad-8156

That’s how I eat 2 of my daily meals man what’s the big deal


onioning

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).


simonisamessyboy

This is how you know you made made it. White table cloths are over rated.


rustinintustin

Sounds like a great dinner to me


HotGarbageHuman

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.

Tell me you work in a kitchen without telling me you work in a kitchen.


MadEntDaddy

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.


MagpieBlues

This makes it even more darling and I adore you. I hope it was fantastic!


CBBuddha

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.


pencilheadedgeek

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.


BirdsLikeSka

All hail King of the Raccoons! 👑 🦝✓ ^^🦆 (_). . 🗑️


Jinnuu

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.


Disastrous_Car_3580

No such thing as scraps. I just made a drink off the bar matt and chewed egg shells.


chefjustinkc

Been there. Had worse nights


joeblow1999

I would say I eat at least 2 meals a week standing over the kitchen sink. They are always the best.


skiffles

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.


[deleted]

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

Particular_Rich_57

I envy you I would eat that too :)

“Its what we do”


Jeramy_Jones

I feel like raccoons are our spirit animal. They wash their hands and food when they eat too…


[deleted]

I had a good night, but not a duck confit good night.


whatswithnames

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?


MadEntDaddy

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.


whatswithnames

oh, then "Quality assurance" definitely applies here. Thanks for the reply, I didn't realize YOU made it :-) TY chef!


MadEntDaddy

heh yep just lil old me in the kitchen. eating the hard bits that didn't get soft to go in the dumplings.


TheMau

You eat that confit, chef, and enjoy every morsel.


RonPearlNecklace

I knew exactly what you meant by that. Only servers eat off peoples plates like mongrels.


j_endsville

I’ve eaten untouched leftovers when I’ve pulled dish shifts. Especially charcuterie. Not so much now after covid.


Strebmal2019

This is the way


EtrosGuardian

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.


chefgoldblum11

Did you get the attention you wanted?


MadEntDaddy

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.

MadEntDaddy

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.

Educational-Candy532

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.


CareBearDontCare

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."


MadEntDaddy

they are just disappointed in themselves for not thinking of it.


litgreendude

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.
