"The Cut That Was Made To Make Culinary Students Hate Life"

Ahhh the tournet. The most awful cut in the history of cooking. And the least used, unless of course, you live in France. It's basically this tiny little football with seven sides that's the most awful thing to try and cut with a paring knife. It really makes you want to kill yourself. Which is a bad feeling to have when your holding a knife. ..So today in food safety and sanitation that we must take certain precautions in the restaurant industry to protect our food from terrorists. Yes, terrorists. Because apparently they want to sneak in our kitchens and deliberately contaminate our food. ridiculous. So Chef Ted is excited that my birthday is Saturday so that next week he can say "were all adults here" without excluding me lol. So we had some extra time at the end of our lesson and someone asked Chef Ted to tell us some funny stories. WARNING: These stories will make you never want to eat at a buffet again. So if you enjoy buffets, please do not read this. Chef Ted was working at a buffet once and they had fried oysters out. He saw a woman walk up, pick up an oyster and try it, make a disgusted face (because yes, they are disgusting) and then put it back in the pile. But she didn't just leave it on top, she looked to make sure no one was looking and then buried it at the bottom of the pile of oysters! Sick, I know. Another guy was refilling his soda and as he walked back to his table he noticed there wasn't enough ice in his glass, so he stopped, looked back at the soda machine (which was only about 25 feet away), looked back at his glass, and then spotted some shrimp on ice. He then proceeded to scrape some of the ice into his cup. Shrimp flavored Dr. Pepper, yum.
