Personally, im one of the least picky people youll ever meet and i thoroughly enjoy sitting down and having the server order for me or say “i love everything, please dealers choice one cold app/salad, a hot app or pasta, and a main”.

I just dont get what the big deal is if somebody wants something done differently. I cook for a living so maybe i expect more out of people, i.e. somebody not throwing a tantrum if a customer wants something

>I, ME!

If its not about the customer, whos it about? Jerking the chefs inflated ego? Lol listen to yourself

For creme brulee, you need a thermometer. Bring your base up to 170F while stirring the bottom in a figure 8 w a rubber spatula (or until napè, which is right around 170-175). It turns to scrambled eggs at 178 lol SO be careful! Strain through fine mesh strainer immediately out if the hot pot.

Let the base COOL FULLY. If you dont, you end up with scrambled eggs when you bake. Put in bowls or ramekins in water bath and cover w foil. I forget the oven temps and im not gonna get my recipe book rn, maybe 325 for 20-30 mins? You know theyre finished if when you hit the bowl you see a shockwave through the creme brulee but it doesnt slosh like liquid.

Whoever the fuck invented these techniques was an absolute autist

Thats so wrong. The chicken or potatoes are the canvas, the rosemary, sage and cinnamon are dominant “mercilessly fuck you in the mouthpussy” flavors. Mint and thyme are background flavors.
