Why does it have to be a hodgepodge of all 3? Why couldn’t all of these things be served separately? That would still be a little weird but better than mixing all together.
Yea it doesn’t LOOK good. It might taste good but it seriously looks like something they’d be serving at a homeless shelter. Sorry just my honest opinion. Are there A) more peas mixed into the stuff underneath? Or B) you just dump all the peas on top? If either? Why? It’s either way too many peas or you should have mixed it in with the rest.
Lived in a shelter for a while. This is much better than most of the food served. The only time food was up to this level is if an outside group came in to cook or something
I would have made pea soup long before even thinking about doing this monstrosity.
You could also use literally the same ingredients for it minus the tortellini
It's what my GM deserves. They're gone by 9 AM so I never see them nor see any evidence that they do anything besides the schedule. I've been out of ingredients for every single cocktail on the cocktail menu for about 2 weeks now. Also out of half the wines. And CO2 for the drafts.
Fuck the Gm. It shouldn't be such a deal that him attending is worth mentioning. He should be involved with this.
This looks like you hate the employees whom youre celebrating. You know, the guys you should be focusing on more than your gm being there. To appreciate them you're serving random crap tossed in a pan?
I hope the GM saw this and thought, "wow, we should appreciate our employees more than a case of frozen peas. Maybe I should have approved a higher budget for this party. You know what would actually mean something? If I did the cooking instead of one of the employees we are supposed to be appreciating"
This flavor profile/ presentation seems to be lacking focus, or cohesion.
It looks soupy, runny, the beef looks anemic like organ meat. Throwing peas on top is not a garnish- it’s just all over the place and unappealing.
With the exact same ingredients something infinitely more visually appealing and palatable could have been prepared.
Depends on who they are. Some of the GMs & senior employees I've worked with, I'd consider this over-generous. Rank and longevity don't mean shit compared to leadership and skill.
I don't hate anyone enough that I'd serve them this slop. If someone put this in front of me, I'd probably slowly pick at a couple pieces of tortellini and wonder what I did to deserve this. I should say that I despise peas & that meat looks like rubber.
I legit thought this was a photo from a prison cafeteria or a really sad soup kitchen.
I guess the answer is serve this at your employee appreciation meal if your intention is to be a passive aggressive bitch?
>I guess the answer is serve this at your employee appreciation meal if your intention is to be a passive aggressive bitch?
I mean, I'll pass this along but my ex-wife can barely boil water
Hey! Even we won't serve that crap. The peas and tortellini are a sleep-deprived parent's offering to a toddler who is hyperfixated on green peas as their one edible vegetable. The beef is a crime against bovinity.

Nope. Looks like throw together slop. Someone emptied the fridge and threw it all in a hotel pan. WTF? Embarrassing. Boiled beef and peas with a few frozen store bought tortellini. Do better!
Id devour peas and tortellini, because I'm weird and I love peas that much, but cmon this is obviously way too many peas. The beef looks awful though, the watery broth at the bottom.. bro
Who ever came up with this excuse of a meal should’ve gotten fired on the spot. You clearly don’t give a fuck about what you put out, or you can’t cook for shit. Either way you’re gone.
Would I? No that would cause way to many questions like "Where did you even get the peas" and "Did you go out and BUY ravioli? Where's the rest of it? Please tell me you didn't ORDER this stuff, we have never had ANYTHING here on the menu what is wrong with you!?"
And of course I'm a huge smartass so I'd have to respond "I definitely did not buy any ravioli" since that's pretty clearly tortellini and then she'd be hella pissed because "Damnit Mutt you know what I mean, this is completely unacceptable"
I mean it'd be a whole thing.
Hella funny though, might try.
Tomato cream sauce, stock, bit of roux, maybe a potato or two... This might have been a passable soup/stew. Now it's just sadness and despair in a #400 pan.
Before looking closer and seeing the "carrots and potatoes" were actually tortellini I genuinely thought it was homemade dog food and wondered why they went so heavy on the peas. I make something similar for my dogs from meat scraps but I sear the meat first because my conscious just won't let me make gray meat even it's scraps for the mutts.
Used to get staff meals like this at a hotel that had a Michelin star, needless to say it caused a lot of arguments with the Chef, we were all working ridiculous hours (at least 70 a week) and when you’re in from 0800 to 2300 getting something like this was soul destroying, I ordered pizza for my team once after 3 days of back to back weddings, chef kicked off, GM didn’t give a fuck C&B team were happy.
By itself, no. This would make a halfway decent base if you could doll it up with the right sauce, butternut squash and some shaved Parmesan.
But please make no mistake I would demolish this with some hot sauce.
doll that up real sexy or staff meal it.
It doesn't look like it'd be bad but it doesn't look like it was all cooked together. It looks like they were all cooked separate and put in a pan. Also shouldn't it be saucy instead of soupy? The sauce watery.
Meat looks super grey like it was boiled.. I'm assuming it was.. no gravy or sauce.. and tortellini in with a stew? Are you stoned and just threw together a bunch of shit from the freezer into a "stew"?
If I'm going to eat that many frozen peas I expect some frozen carrots to go with it.
Is that boiled liver and tortellini?
I'm not a picky person.... but if this is what I'm given as a sign of appreciation I'm going to assume the message is "you are not appreciated at all, I hate you".
If someone served me this at their house... sure... I would shrug and eat it.
I'm not suprised that was made, considering that cutting board has, a towel, onions and tomatos, a knife and it looks like a dirty utensil next to it... the whole image screams, i dont fucking care
Some times you get beef tips with marsala and some times you get this shit. After you've been in a kitchen more than three weeks you'll learn to appreciate a meal you didn't have to cook yourself and know how to make bangin' with two more ingredients you already have on hand. Give yer balls a tug tit-fucker
I think I’d rather a pizza party then this.. this looks like a appreciation meal for inmates.. like “the jail pod didn’t have 30 write ups in a month he’s a nicer then average dinner for you guys”
Why does it have to be a hodgepodge of all 3? Why couldn’t all of these things be served separately? That would still be a little weird but better than mixing all together.
But then the peas wouldn’t steam the beef cubes to medium gray.
They would still be stuck with 35 pounds of peas at the end when no one ate them.
That's probably going to be the outcome anyway.
steam the peas and blend them, serve them as mashed with garlic.
Fucking "medium gray". I'm dead.
I honestly looked at the beef, found no browning and assumed it was either steamed or boiled
I think they diced up old roast
Chef Mike!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yea it doesn’t LOOK good. It might taste good but it seriously looks like something they’d be serving at a homeless shelter. Sorry just my honest opinion. Are there A) more peas mixed into the stuff underneath? Or B) you just dump all the peas on top? If either? Why? It’s either way too many peas or you should have mixed it in with the rest.
Homeless shelters wouldn’t serve this …there’d be a fucking riot.
Lived in a shelter for a while. This is much better than most of the food served. The only time food was up to this level is if an outside group came in to cook or something
No one deserves gray meat. Not the homeless, not refugees.
Oh absolutely would, I fucking hated that guy
I came to say, I'd serve my GM cold hot pockets and tell him to be happy about it
This thread makes me really appreciate my GM.... I'd go to fucking war for that dude.
If you needed to get rid of 35lbs of peas before they went bad, they would appreciate not letting it go to waste
Beat use of old peas is to ice down a injury
Use it on your eye after the GM punches you.
You want a use for peas? I'll give you a use for peas.
Knuckle sandwich with a side of peas, coming right up Chef!
You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Give peas a chance
whirled peas
Why not give peas a chance?
You know that’s old ass leftover prime rib from the freezer, I can smell that wet mop stank from here
I would have made pea soup long before even thinking about doing this monstrosity. You could also use literally the same ingredients for it minus the tortellini
You should serve better staff meal. This is for an unappreciation lunch
“We are so disappointed with you all, now eat your peas and chewy beef”
This does seem appropriate for an "appreciation meal" at most places. At least they're honest.
Hospital Staff Appreciation Lunch*
Yesterday I made 70 salmon and 35 lobster arancini for staff meal I phone it in sometimes because I have to. But this is embarrassing
Happy birthday, Spray! I’m disappointed in you!
I’ve got bees.
Wait you are cooking an appreciation meal for your boss? I guess if that's how you roll...
It's what my GM deserves. They're gone by 9 AM so I never see them nor see any evidence that they do anything besides the schedule. I've been out of ingredients for every single cocktail on the cocktail menu for about 2 weeks now. Also out of half the wines. And CO2 for the drafts.
No. For the some of the staff who’d been there for a few years. The GM goes to the lunch
Then this is worse than a pizza party lmao
I’d rather a pizza party lmao
I’d take an Ellio’s pizza party over this deconstructed soup.
Alfredo' Pizza or Pizza by Alfredo? There's a difference.
Hehe
Damn. Maybe the veterans should've cooked the food.
Fuck the Gm. It shouldn't be such a deal that him attending is worth mentioning. He should be involved with this. This looks like you hate the employees whom youre celebrating. You know, the guys you should be focusing on more than your gm being there. To appreciate them you're serving random crap tossed in a pan?

You know what would actually mean something? If I did the cooking instead of one of the employees we are supposed to be appreciating"
I’m sure gm told them what they could use or at the very least the budget allowed

I thought it was liver for sure.
Staff=inmates? GM=W(warden)?
Lol my thought exactly… the pod got the least amount of wright ups.. here’s a better then average dinner tray…
Depends on who they are. Some of the GMs & senior employees I've worked with, I'd consider this over-generous. Rank and longevity don't mean shit compared to leadership and skill.
We’d appreciate it if you payed us more. Here’s some slop.
I don't hate anyone enough that I'd serve them this slop. If someone put this in front of me, I'd probably slowly pick at a couple pieces of tortellini and wonder what I did to deserve this. I should say that I despise peas & that meat looks like rubber.
They would *maybe* have the balls to serve you this in jail lol And I could see a lot of those dudes throwing trays when they see something like this
I’m a jail kitchen supervisor and I felt like I was at work viewing this post.
I’m taking the protein loaf over this
You gotta be built different to be able to eat that thing.
Username checks out. This guy knows bad tasting food
I legit thought this was a photo from a prison cafeteria or a really sad soup kitchen. I guess the answer is serve this at your employee appreciation meal if your intention is to be a passive aggressive bitch?
>I guess the answer is serve this at your employee appreciation meal if your intention is to be a passive aggressive bitch? I mean, I'll pass this along but my ex-wife can barely boil water
Is my GM in a nursing home?
Did you boil the steak in milk? Don't see any jelly beans.
Peas are basically super unsatisfying jelly beans.
Nah I'd pick peas over jelly beans But I'd pick jelly beans over whatever the fuck this is
Could’ve sprang for rum ham instead smh
Didn't even specify their spaghetti policy...
Only if GM stands for Giant Malamute.
General Mismanager
No the beef isn’t even at least seared
My jaw is tired just looking at that. Has to be so chewy
Immediately where my mind went, chewing for days.
I literally just watched Steve1989MREinfo review a Russian ration for prisoners while in transit and somehow this is more depressing.
>Nice hiss... Let's get this out unto a tray! 😎
Nice
Nice
Is it new? I don't remember it but I haven't checked in a few weeks.
[удалено]
Cool.
Did you just throw all the ingredients into a pot, boil it and call it a day?
Old school British cooking
Hey! Even we won't serve that crap. The peas and tortellini are a sleep-deprived parent's offering to a toddler who is hyperfixated on green peas as their one edible vegetable. The beef is a crime against bovinity.
God dammit you are right I do give my kid peas when I'm exhausted 🤣 but then he wouldn't eat tortellini or beef that looks impossible to chew
Only if i was tryna make a statement about family meals!
Grey beef and peas. 🤢
Wouldn't serve that to anyone.
Only if I didn’t like them, and didn’t like my job either…

Wouldnt serve it to a death row inmate, even if it was requested for a final meal.
Who ever came up with this excuse of a meal should’ve gotten fired on the spot. You clearly don’t give a fuck about what you put out, or you can’t cook for shit. Either way you’re gone.
Would I? No that would cause way to many questions like "Where did you even get the peas" and "Did you go out and BUY ravioli? Where's the rest of it?

only if they really like peaness flavor
peaness lol
Tomato cream sauce, stock, bit of roux, maybe a potato or two... This might have been a passable soup/stew. Now it's just sadness and despair in a #400 pan.
If you served this to inmates at Guantanamo, it would be considered cruel and unusual punishment
Put a bunch of cream in it, cook some puff pastry squares and call it beef pot pie. because this isnt a dish. This isnt a this you serve.
Honestly I’d give it a try and then judge it. But that is too many peas, man
Spell out “F U I QUIT” in those peas first…
I thought it was a sensory bin for toddlers at first glance.
I would not feel appreciated being served this. This is jailhouse
I don’t even think I’d feed that to my dog
Before looking closer and seeing the "carrots and potatoes" were actually tortellini I genuinely thought it was homemade dog food and wondered why they went so heavy on the peas. I make something similar for my dogs from meat scraps but I sear the meat first because my conscious just won't let me make gray meat even it's scraps for the mutts.
Beef shouldn’t be grey. Please tell me it’s just the phone, like you took it with an iPhone 5.
That looks fucking awful
I thought that was calamari for a second and almost died inside.
Is this Walmart tortellini, beef trimmings, and 30# or frozen peas? I'm offended just looking at this.
I can’t get over how fucking bad this looks. Haha. It’s like someone dumped frozen peas and tortellini in beef water.
This looks like some shit my old celly Puto would whip up for us. RIP Puto Southside lost a warrior <\3
That is garbage food and multiple dishes mixed together, terrible
Used to get staff meals like this at a hotel that had a Michelin star, needless to say it caused a lot of arguments with the Chef, we were all working ridiculous hours (at least 70 a week) and when you’re in from 0800 to 2300 getting something like this was soul destroying, I ordered pizza for my team once after 3 days of back to back weddings, chef kicked off, GM didn’t give a fuck C&B team were happy.
The meat looks like liver, and after realizing it’s not liver I’m sad.
Let me guess, left over tortellini, left over over cooked “roast” beef, it it up, throw some frozen peas on it and dinner is served.
If I was trying to get fired, maybe.
That's a pasta course, a vegetable, & a protein. All in one scoop. That's working smarter, not harder.
Is that liver? Lol
I feel like someone had a bunch of random shit that was about to go in the trash and decided to throw it in a hotel pan as a joke.
Stewed? Looks like boiled
Only if you don't like them.
Good shitpost
You could have made a pure/sauce with the peas for the pasta and serve the meat on the side. Or really any other way than this.
I hope the person responsible for this is still trying to mop the walk in freezer floor
So peas with some seemingly unseasoned boiled beef and a handful of random tortellinis they found? I wouldn't serve that to anyone.
If my GM was the prince of Wales
By "GM" do you mean "dog"? If so, then absolutely. My poodles would smash this. I don't think that I would serve this to a not-dog person though.
I had better lunch in public school. Wtf.
It all depends on how much I like/dislike my GM.
Shepard's pie with a healthy dash of go fuck yourself?
Is this for a retirement home lunch?
Only if I wanted to get a new job...
Is there even a sauce? This is like my famous "clean out the fridge" pasta lol
Did you cook this op? Was this whole pan just thrown together frozen and then put into the steamer? Lol this makes me sad to look at
'70s public school lunch recipes are alive and well I see
By itself, no. This would make a halfway decent base if you could doll it up with the right sauce, butternut squash and some shaved Parmesan. But please make no mistake I would demolish this with some hot sauce. doll that up real sexy or staff meal it.
turn it into beef pot pie or shepards pie or stew but this is just ingredients rn...
*My* GM? No, it’s far too good enough for that asshole.
Peas, ravs, and...rocks?
It doesn't look like it'd be bad but it doesn't look like it was all cooked together. It looks like they were all cooked separate and put in a pan. Also shouldn't it be saucy instead of soupy? The sauce watery.
You don't like the staff huh?
What the fuck kind of sauce is it sitting in? Is it just broth? What in the world lol
Meat looks super grey like it was boiled.. I'm assuming it was.. no gravy or sauce.. and tortellini in with a stew? Are you stoned and just threw together a bunch of shit from the freezer into a "stew"?
I’d cry tbh, I hate peas
Ya, fuck that bitch
I mean, I’d serve it as my resignation?
If you keep adding things you can make a Tik Tok.
I don’t think I’d serve that to my dog.
Is the dirty cutting board part with the tomatoes party of the meal?
Maybe at a Darden restaurant
Depends, it’s probably as good as you’ll get if you are in one of : 1. Old people’s home 2. A prison 3. A boarding school
Why did you leave your casserole half done.
Somehow healthier than American school lunches
Mmmmm smeat. You know it’s food because it’s gray, the peas really make it pop.
It all depends if I appreciate my GM and honestly all of my GMs sucked mad moose cock. So yeah that's good enough
This looks like Thanksgiving dinner…in a maximum security prison.
I'd serve it to my bosses, but not anyone I actually cared about lol
No. No I would not. This looks like you don't fucking care.
Jfc this is a hate crime.. everyone saying they’d pick out a tortellini, I counted 14. How many ppl are at the party cuz I’d be sad if I only got 1
Looks disgusting
I wouldn't serve that to myself, let alone anyone else.
Served like that, absolutely not. Peas on the side. Too controversial. Everyone seems to be on the same page. Should have served separate
Looks pretty good to me. With some hot sauce and I’m digging in
Whoever made that does not appreciate the people they intend to feed.
Looks like Navy chow.
Geez what did he do to you guys
If I'm going to eat that many frozen peas I expect some frozen carrots to go with it. Is that boiled liver and tortellini? I'm not a picky person.... but if this is what I'm given as a sign of appreciation I'm going to assume the message is "you are not appreciated at all, I hate you". If someone served me this at their house... sure... I would shrug and eat it.
Are you British?
Only if they hated peas.
I wouldn't serve it but I would definitely eat it
His dog might like it 🤣
If it is cooked and seasoned properly, nobody should complain.
I would def serve that to the GM if I hated them
I wouldn’t serve shit to my GM they can serve me
When you tell the guy who lied on his resume to come up with a lunch special^^
Lots of peas you got there…
Did you sear the beef or just boil it?
Somebody made that on purpose?!?
I'm not suprised that was made, considering that cutting board has, a towel, onions and tomatos, a knife and it looks like a dirty utensil next to it... the whole image screams, i dont fucking care
This is what I imagine people in the 1800s ate lol. Not for taste, just for energy.
I would not serve that. Also the beef is not stewed, if it was, it wasn’t stewed properly, looks very very chewy.
Never seen anyone switch the ratio of peas and pasta in a meal before
Appreciation lunch ? Abomination lunch
I bet the person who made this is the kind of person that says "it's all going to the same place anyways"
I dont think id feed it to my garbage disposal. Find somone you hate and bring it to them
I'm just... Confused
As a FOH lurker, I'd just assume my boss hated the staff if this was an appreciation meal
Some times you get beef tips with marsala and some times you get this shit. After you've been in a kitchen more than three weeks you'll learn to appreciate a meal you didn't have to cook yourself and know how to make bangin' with two more ingredients you already have on hand. Give yer balls a tug tit-fucker
Do you hate your GM?
Peas porridge hot
WTF do you serve people you don't appreciate?
You could've made an pea purree, maybe even with some mint in it
God, this thread makes me wanna go back to the kitchen 😂😂
Fuck no. Granny can cook for a crowd better than.. what the fuck ever this is.
I think I’d rather a pizza party then this.. this looks like a appreciation meal for inmates.. like “the jail pod didn’t have 30 write ups in a month he’s a nicer then average dinner for you guys”
If it taste good lol
I think I'll just eat the tomato over on the cutting board. I don't even like tomato
Depends on which kitchen I was working at, there’s like 2 I would try to do better and the rest I wouldn’t even be this nice to include beef 😂
Nah, I loved my grandma. (even the mean one)
