I would avoid Pike’s Place personally, unless you need some open mouth shots for your IG. Take a ferry out to Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands. It’s about a 90 minute boat trip and you might see some orcas. There’s a nice little town there.

I have 2017 and 2021 4Runners. I live in the mountains and work at a ski resort and have had zero issues. 100% reccomend.

Those are called “rockets” in Thailand. Great for cooking whole birds. I used to use them at a south Asian place I worked at.

The best knife for 90% of what needs to be done in the kitchen is a $7 Kiwi knife. I’ve stopped purchasing anything else for my crew, and have had no complaints. Cast iron is really great for cooking for a small group, but does not scale well at all. I use it at home, but not at work. I...

Original Dot's are great. The honey mustard ones are just terrible.

Anyone playing on Thornblade? I'm gonna start leveling a SK there this week. He is a dumb troll because I can't be a gnome yet. Name is Fresh, hit me up if anyone is exping still.

In addition to consistency, one primary reason pizza spots use premade dough is lack of physical space. Until recently I was the corporate chef for a ski resort with 7 restaurants that would do very large volume during the tourist season. We sold a lot of pizza, some premade some scratch...

I ran a food truck a couple years ago and we would go through 200-300 pork steam buns an hour. They cost about .15 cents to make and we sold them 3/$10. The buns are too sweet for personally, especially since the pork filling is often sweet as well. I prefer kai thawt as a filling, almost has a...

Until recently I worked at a pretty legit Thai/Viet restaurant in Portland and the only premade item that we sold was MAMA brand ramen. It is very good.

I lived in Eugene for 4 years during college and I would not call it "hipster." Unclear whether or not Tyen has actually been there from his comments. It is dominated by the University, so although the metro area has a small population there is a lot of decent cultural stuff going on, and it has...

Started watching this last night and got through the first three episodes. My wife and I are both really enjoying it. When I did was in High School my dad was on the board of Young Life, the organization that bought the property. It is now a giant Christian Summer camp, they use most of the...

I am executive chef at a ski resort. We have 5 restaurants and a very busy banquets department. One of these days I need to try skiing...

Alton Brown is some goofy trash. He reminds me of the doctor from Voyager. I prefer Wustof knives personally. I have a sontoku knife that I use daily at work that is 6 years old and still holds an excellent edge.

I just spent like 15 minutes trying to find some discussion about food that wasn't sous vide, it didn't go great. You guys are out of control.
