American/Asian fusion. We do whatever we want though. If it's good and has a good wow factor we'll probably run with it. Definitely a lot of mirin and ginger and scallions on the menu though.
>>12590918
I try not to and never at work. I don't think a lot of of guys do, maybe none. I know that sounds crazy but it's true. Outside of work is a different story.
>>12590908
You'd be surprised. We have a decent sized prep team, and during service it's just four cooks and the chef on the line. Only three stations, and just one has two people on it. A lot of the more involved tedious things get done by the prep team.
I pick up like, 10 different dishes? We don't run things normally though.

I use a carbon steel knife I should take better care of, but you can't beat it as long as you keep it sharp. I also have a stainless tojiro, not the best, pretty far from the worst and it was cheap. You know what's a meme? Multiple knives. Definitely keep a boning knife for fish, a chef's knife and a pairing knife, but you really don't need much else. Like, get good faggot. You don't need a cleaver.
I'm going to completely contradict myself here and say every cook should own a berineir mandolin. They're thirty bucks, no excuse to borrow mine every time you need it.

It's the south west side of central park where the niggers got together some years ago to go wilding. I hate the west side and while not OP I used to work right up that side there for a few moths until I determed that they were full for fuckin' shit. I just stopped showing up, that was ascap, about the second shittiest company that I've worked for. That does mean that I've worked for worse.

I really like Peter Luger...s burger. I haven't had the steak. I know what goes into it is phenomenal. They have a dry age room, pictures don't do justice. The burger is made from the oxidized aged trim . It's great. I've only had one better burger and I was far more intoxicated and it was made in the same manner.
The sides are laughably poor unfortunately.

idk 20 percent? I enjoy tipping so I typically tip more. Makes me feel good. Someday I'd like to be wealthy enough to tip everyone who services me. I often tip bartenders ten dollars even if they only charge me 10
