FWIW, I would make an excellent FOH person. Most nights.

I built the one out of Make Magazine. Works like a charm.

Maybe you and matt should open a restaurant... you run the charcuterie/lounge/gastro pub that sells a bunch of ***** selections like duck/pork belly/braised everything/sous vide ribeye/and sausage while Matt is the judgmental self loathing chef in the small place upstairs for the fancy people.

Manton will run FOH, judge everyone's tailored clothing and after service will tourne a bunch of vegetables in the hope that one day matt will approve and let him work in the kitchen, his true desire. You will also have the most well appointed bomb shelter of any restaurant in the country. In order to ensure that Matt doesn't lose his special spice for life, Manton will secretly ensure that only white between between the ages of 30-55 from the Bay Area are allowed to eat at the restaurant.

Conne will be the one in the bar running up an absurd tab entirely on his credit card, ruining his personal finances but providing the steady cash flow that you guys would need for the crucial first couple of years of running your place. And artisan fan will be the crazy bearded asshole outside with some obnoxious sign.


Thanks for including me you stupid ******* *************.

He knows you would not work at a place that does a lot of sous vide.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't a certain budding culinary star say part of the reason he left a well known Healdsburg restaurant was due to this technique being overused?

I said I didn't like working somewhere that only did sous-vide. But a piob and iammatt restaurant would not be like that.

I am now truly regretting not picking up that SVS for $100 a couple months ago, even though my oven would have to have been removed in order to accommodate it. Thanks guys.

You would also need a torch too. Man, that's just so much fun to use.

I have a torch. It was the first kitchen item I got, because I am a fun kind of guy.
