Fuck'n A Brah! Health is Wealth! There’s nothing better than building a kick ass salad right from your own back yard.
I could not agree with you more. Perhaps that is my issue with some of the food out here. It tends to be more salty/greasy/sweet than my palatte is used to? To be honest- inconsistency is probably my biggest peeve- nuttin worse than going and trying something new that you love, and going back and it being totally different or even awful the next time... With food tastes- there is no right or wrong answer, because it all matters down to a person's personal taste. I have a very sensitive nose and it's a curse because I taste everything- I'me very aware of all the flavors everytime I eat. As for feeling better, one of the best things I ever did was generally share a single salad and entree with my g/f when we go out for food. It saves on the bill, and keeps me from stuffing myself- sometimes we even have leftovers and I'm actually a fairly heavy build. Maybe the beer is filling me up too though, lol...
haha some day man... I've just been in the industry for a long time. To be honest I'm getting a little burnt out on the whole thing- it's a stressful line of work for sure. I do like to cook and have created whole menus/recipes, however doing it as a job all day for the rest of my life would probably make me lose the zest for it. It's tough work, and in the back of the house you tend to get treated harsh by the front of house people, not to mention not getting as much compensation eh? I really like that movie "Waiting" it's pretty much how it is-lol...
When the front of the house use to make me mad I’d place their plates in the broiler for a few minutes prior to me telling them to pick up the food, then just as they grabbed the plate off the hot line I’d passively say “Hot Plate” by then it was too late and they’d have a nice little burn to remind them that I was in control....hahaha there’s a reason why I have a 666 in my RIU profile…lol…I have no problems conjuring up my inner Satan when I need too…lol
Yea Really~
All true points, and I can't debate... I was thinking more along the lines of corporate restaurants that are also in Hawaii. I mean the Red Lobster on Oahu will give you the kind of poop only Coot talks about- lol... The Red lobster where I grew up had alot higher standards- who knows about now though.Yea Really~
Because I have lived in many places including big cities like Los Angeles where they do not have the extensive variety of fresh fruits and vegetables that we have here.. I appreciate the influence on foods that the Asian cultures have had here. I can go to most stores here and have dozens and dozens of vegetables to choose from... Many not available on the mainland...
When I worked in New Mexico and Arizona doing geology, I remember going to big towns like Santa Fe and they only had about 5 vegetables to choose from.
The abundance of fresh seafood too... Even when I lived in coastal towns on the mainland, I never had this much variety in seafood... Typically the choices were Cod or some other rockfish. or seabass
Since I have Crohn's... I have been advised to stick to vegetables and fruits that are more alkaline in nature.. Local vegetables like sweet potatoes and squashes are alkaline. A majority of the Asian vegetables are alkaline too...
Ironically most of the vegetables that are abundant in mainland stores tend to be acidic (with most being between 4-6.8 pH)....
I wish I could have seen your post before you edited it

The only edit I made was from "restraunteur" to "restaurant person", I hate errors/typos and realized by Coot's response I used a word that implied the wrong thing. You can see the original post I think in Tardis's quote if you don't believe me
Mmmmm...mushroomshow i spent my day
