Can I rant about Hell's Kitchen for a moment? |
|
I'd do it in the TV group, but nobody really ever goes there.
So on last night's opening episode of Hell's Kitchen, there's a segment where Ramsey it trying to graphically display his disgust with one of the "chef's" cooking skills and is spitting his food out (he does this quite a bit, it's rather disgusting actually). But here's the thing - he wipes his mouth with that awful dirty horrific slop cloth that he wears tucked into apron belt.
So my question is: is that the same cloth that he uses to wipe off plates, y'know, like the dripped sauces around the edges, before he send them off for service??
If so... well, GROSS!
I bet that's sort of common behavior in kitchens - I always wonder about those cloths they use for wiping plates before sending them, they always look like really icky things.
Fess up you restaurant kitchen workers - is this SOP?

just like many doctors, egotistical chefs think that they are immune from natural law
hygiene laws and procedure are for the "workers"

2. I cook one day a week at a local grill |

those cloths are WAY against health regulations, period. Spills are wiped up with paper towels, and thrown away. Any cloth that you regularly use during the days must stay soaking in a disinfectant between uses, like the ones used to wipe customer tables down with. But, all in all cloth rags as opposed to disposable paper towels are frowned upon.
I see people at work using bad practices from time to time, and I call them out on it. They may not like me very much, but on my shift they clean up their act, so to speak. They also call me a germophobe.
