We make family meals in the culinary class I’m in when we have too much going on for everyone to cook and there have definitely been some interesting experiences 😂
@@stetsongray5355 basically just a meal for the staff at a restaurant. Not all places will do it, but it's just a nice thing that some do to ensure their staff have at least one good meal a day.
@@alien_from_andromeda honestly tho! Plus it’s a total waste if you have to constantly be changing your gloves it’s way more eco friendly just to use good ol soap and water
And washing is more hygienic than wearing gloves, dont let the gloves fool y'all. Some ppl think that bc they have gloves on they can still scratch their butts and crap. Most ppl are not washing or changing gloves regularly either. Covid has everyone thinking that gloves = clean
@@Shrinedgrimp i will stand by this forever, gloves are less for keeping you from getting stuff on other things than it is for keeping stuff from getting ON YOU!
Tip to glove lovers - USE YOUR HANDS. Use your hands, cook with your hands and WASH your hands.. countless and I mean countless studies have proven this is more effective at stopping the spread of bacteria and contamination of food Sincerely, The rest of the world
Just wash the gloves like you would your hands, and change them regularly. they're good if you're multitasking like frying a bunch of meat while prepping more meat. Just have your dominant hand ungloved and your non dominant one gloved to hold meat steady while cutting.
@@je777y ? At no point do I cross contaminate and if I do I just wash my hands with warm soapy water, it's the same washing a glove as your hand especially if you get one that goes up the forearm.
We paid about $470 for 70 cupcakes and a two tiered wedding cake for just us. I thought $5.50 for a cupcake was a lot, but once I saw and tasted them, it was worth it. There is another cupcake shop in town that would have been cheaper, but the quality is nowhere near the same! I would buy her cupcakes but find a way to transport them on my own. That is nice of you to gift this to her.
My restaurant doesn’t do family meals and it kinda sucks cause we’re all starving all night. It’s also like the only upscale restaurant in town that doesn’t do family meals pre shift
Don't listen to the glove fetish weirdos, clean hands are better than gloved hands. Family meal is also a traditional early test for interns/externs in kitchens. We wanna see how you can do when it's coworkers you have to impress, because they will totally talk shit to you if you fuck it up. The meal looked great, too. Props, and best of luck in your kitchen career.
I don’t work front of house, I do housekeeping part time but I always really appreciate it when the kitchen spares time to make us food, especially in the heat we’re having right now.
They make time for it before prep or they prep early. Another option is they do both at the same time. Sometimes like here they'll pick a couple people to make the meal while everyone else preps for serive. She said it's 40 people so i think they can spare a couple.
The most hectic job i ever had was cooking for 250 adults and 80 children 5 days a week for 3 months lunch and dinner. Kids with allergies had their own separate meals so you had to really be careful and just make those at the end so you can focus on keeping them separate from all other ingredients...by the end of every shift i had to hit the bar...
The best feeling ever is walking onto the line, seeing your MASSIVE prep list and all your knife cuts that you have to do, then being forced into cooking family meal 😂
For me it's just "when in doubt, boil some eggs and grab some bread. The rest will come later". That's how I got situations where i was up at 4 am craving a Thai green curry 😂
In the way way early 80’s I worked in various restaurants either as a chef or in charge of the kitchen. Mind you I was early 20’s. Staff usually got to eat but limited items off the menu. Two of the places I worked at I was allowed to do family style meals for the staff. Most were “buffet” style. Nothing elaborate but usually a starch, a veggie and a protein or could have been spaghetti. Never the least, it was something the staff looked forward to and it made their day a little more bearable. Sometimes we pot lucked and sometimes the owner would get pizza. There was always something even if it was simple.
I miss family meals when I waitressed in college. I appreciate the is video because I never considered the work the kitchen staff put into feeding us. I wish they fed us prior to our shift, I was hangry af
Always make family meal! It's your chance to get (forced to be)creative, be free to mess up, and make some excellent good noms. Family meals have been some of the best meals of my life, not always but still fed staff is happy/happier staff.
"You don't wanna interact with hangry waitstaff" As a banquet and private event server...I felt this in my BONES. I can't express how true this is and how fucking ornery we get when clients don't feed the waitstaff.
For all y’all complaining about their bare hands you really have no idea then about the restaurants you eat at. I’m a cook as well and gloves are only needed for raw food other than that we all wash up. Gloves can hold more bacteria than you think especially if not changed out
At the Japanese restaurant where I worked, our family meals included regular taco Tuesday lol. That was mostly thanks to the Mexican guy in our kitchen
I used to work at this Italian b&b and the family meals were my favorite part of my day. I was a maid and yet we were still included in the meals. Jad forgotten about that.
I miss my one bosses. He was from Italy amd she was from Cuba. They treated me like family and tried to stuff me begore every shift. My favorite was a stuffed squid with red rice that was a cuban dish i never got the recipe or name of. She chopped the tenticle and small shrimp and other seafoods(what ever was fresh) and added bread crumb and veggies andcstuffed ot back into the squid bodies. Baked it and searved it over seafood flavored rice. Lots of tomato too. Sje said it was supposed to be spicy but she couldn't eat spicy any longer but i didnt care. It was so good.
People need to keep in mind that there can be a chance that gloves aren't even clean to begin with. Who knows if someone is constantly changing their gloves or if theyre stored in a dirty area? Bare hands are often needed because we rely so much on our sense of touch. It is a person's job to make sure their hands are washed thoroughly with or without gloves. Worrying about stuff like dead skin cells doesn't do any good. We are constantly breathing in dust and dirt. There's plenty of skin cells in the air already 😂
not when you're using their supplies, their building, and their time while getting experience. im guessing shes a student so its not so much 'unpaid' as it is 'temporary free work with the hope of one day getting paid'
@@LISE_NR no one said it’s ethical. but if you want a job you need experience and interning is how you get it. and a majority of colleges are going to require internships and they’re mostly unpaid. regardless, she chose to do this in her free time but she wasn’t actually working this day as stated in the previous video bc she hadn’t started the job.
Probably most random comment, but please tell me that was the ending to Princess Diaries in the background 🤣🤣 Cuz i had recently watched it and im like, that sounds a liiittle familiar lmaoo
