How to use your iPhone to get a bartenders attention | The Bar Blogger

by Chef Brad

No matter what you think of, there really does seem to be “an app for that”. But just when you thought there was nothing else an iPhone could be used for, the good people at Jack Daniels have come up with the “Bar Call” app.

Just select a Jack Daniel’s drink of your choice, how many you and your friends want, and then hold it up for the bartender to see. Standing out in a crowd has never been easier.

We Make Hiring Easy and Keep Costs Low – Chef Registry

by Chef Brad

Since 1949 we have been providing Chefs and Cooks with employment opportunities.

It   started with chefs helping  other chefs find jobs.  It was a community of chefs and cooks, looking out for each other.   Not much as changed.  We still look out for our people,  and connect   them with kitchens who are looking for quality personnel.

It was never about the money, so we never charged high fees.   Sometimes we took free meals in return for fees.

Today we keep our fees low so our hotels, restaurants and food service clients can keep their  costs  low.      For only $800 they can hire a chef, restaurant manager or other hospitality professionals from 1000’s nationwide,  or  worldwide if needed.  They can even pay in four weekly installments. And they deal with real people, not an anonymous website.  With Regional Directors in every state, there is always someone they can talk to about their hiring needs.

SERVICES  AVAILABLE

Chefs , Restaurant Managers, and Other Hospitality Professionals: Choose from thousands nationwide, or  worldwide and pay only $800 when hired, or pay in four weekly installments.

Permanent  Placement: Pay a one time fee of $800, and you can even pay in four weekly installments.

Part Time Personnel: We can provide most kitchen personnel on a part time basis, including seasonal hiring and vacation replacements.  Health Care coverage also available.

Contract  Staffing: Let us do your payroll, including workers compensation, and all standard deductions with one weekly payment. Health Care coverage also available.

How to Smoke Meat

by Chef Brad

Smoke has been intentionally applied to foods since it was first recognized that holding meats and other provisions off the ground near the smoky fires did more than dry them more quickly or prevent animals from getting to them. The hanging foods, treated to a smokebath, took on new and enticing flavors.

How to Deal with Difficult Diners

by Chef Brad

He doesn’t like where he’s sitting. He orders something not even remotely on the menu. His food is too cold, too spicy or both. He wants what he wants, he wants it now, and he’ll be vocal to get it if necessary — even if it means causing a scene.
