If I had a restaurant..

I went to culinary school many yyears ago as a semi-hobby. My family has a long history in the restaurant industry, and I still have some cooking and running places today.

I've cooked for a number of people on this forum, and they'll testify, I could have been a chef if I had chosen to.

There are many many reasons I chose not to use my culinary education professionally...

One of the main ones being that I wouldn't allow ketchup or steak sauce in the building, and anyone who ordered a steak above medium would be getting a grilled chicken breast... Since obviously they don't like and don't deserve to eat beef... Or anything else with flavor.

Any motherfucker who asked for "no cream, no butter, no salt" would get no food, because food has fat and salt or its not food, its just caloric sustenance.. and then they'd get kicked in the nuts as hard as possible.

I would have to post a sign on the door "I'm sorry, no, we don't accommodate vegans, and no we won't do that gluten free especially for you... Go the fuck away"

Such a restaurant might do very well among a certain clientele, many of whom I would call "my kind of people".... But it would also likely be sued... A lot....

I have never eaten your food and never will. But I will assume you are a great cook. That does not a Chef make. I am currently a working Executive Chef and do VERY little cooking. People skills, organizational skills, innovation, imagination and dealing with dicks on both sides of the line are what makes a successful chef.

What you are describing is an asshole who wants to beat people up for not loving his take on food. The restaurant would be best named.

Its my scientific explanation why steak is undercooked below medium rare and overcooked above medium; and why most people don't actually know what doneness they like, because they've never actually had their steak done properly.

One of the Foodie websites, either Serious Eats or Chowhound, did a page on this, with blind taste testing. The vast majority preferred Medium Rare. Not surprising when you remove the visual clues.

Cooking a steak properly has become alot easier for the nonsteakhouse, now that Immersion circulators have taken the guesswork out of it..

Well, most restaurants do fail..

If I had a daughter who was a mermaid I wouldn't let her anywhere near you

All he would have to do is be featured on a Gordon Ramsey show and being and asshole would actually attract customers. Come to the famous Alimentaire Insultant and be disparaged, cursed at, and otherwise offended by legendary insult master and Chef Chris Byrne.

That is a safe bet, mermaid or not
