Funny (sad) story. A cook at the restaurant I recently started slumming it at didn't know what poached eggs were when someone ordered them. We take in a class of differently abled people and help train them for a potential future in culinary arts. The life coach for the group is also an ex chef and had to make the poached eggs for my "head cook".

[@acey457]

poached eggs is when you boil the vegetables in a boil bag and then put a fried egg on it.

[@SéaFid]

​@TonyisKing343 What about the abled as opposed to disabled(which can mean anything from deaf to rain man) people who can't poach an egg properly?

[@digital_u4ia]

@@acey457 See, that sounds like you want sous vide vegetables, and a "hard" fried egg (just light oil in the pan). Poaching is more like boiling eggs to get deviled eggs or similar but already outside of it's shell. Instead of a high temperature to fully cook through; you use a lower temperature over a longer period just like you would a sous vide, but in a double boiler method instead. (Usually multiple small ceramic ramekins placed into the saucepan of simmering water, each holding an individual egg.)

[@dazediss6629]

Strange narration at the end saying that Aaron is finally acting like a head chef. He’s been acting like a head chef since the first minute, just the bozos he’s in charge of don’t give a fuck & the bosses with the exclusion of Scott seemed happy for that to happen.

Update on the restaurant: Jack’s Waterfront closed in December 2010, which was around two years after the Jack’s Kitchen Nightmares episode aired on TV. Shortly after the closure, it reopened under new ownership as Dockside Jack’s in March 2011. However, it was permanently closed after a month and the three owners sold it back to the previous owners.

When you have a kitchen crew like that, who refuse to communicate and disrespect the chef and their bosses, the best remedy is to fire the worst one, then there will be a couple that will quit but the rest usually fall in line. 20 years in the industry and that's how it's always worked best along with treating each other with respect and understand that we're human.

[@nathyiawatson867]

Truthfully Scott and Aaron were the only ones who weren't the problem, and maybe the other bald owner who seemed to be helping in the front throughout. AJ was a waste of salary and contributed nothing while in the restaurant, and Aaron's kitchen staff was super inept. His son is to blame for spinelessly letting him drain 100k(!) knowing that AJ did nothing at all. The idea that they had to force out Scott from being involved is wild when you see during the show that he's actually competent and willing to do anything to help; he should've been kitchen and/or hiring manager. Aaron was decent as a head chef, but he should've seen much sooner that his staff was lacking and incommunicative. Better staff could've been in place before the show was even made, and chef needed Scott to come in and demand the respect for him. And if truly didn't have the authority to change it, I don't know who in particular to blame for using frozen seafood and dyed tuna while so close to the great lakes, but that's just ridiculous lol.

dried seafood is more hygienic than fresh also if you dehydrate a fish it will taste like dried fish fillet (dry taste) but once it's fully dry it will make good for a Dry chowder, dried fish chowder

And worth saying regarding the “decorative” fish in the small spheres on the wall. They are Samurai fighting fish. Historically, they were always kept in ponds like regular fish and brought out in the small bowls we see just for guests to *briefly* observe their beauty. Then they were returned to a big living space. That’s somehow been misconstrued. It horrifying that that tradition has been misconceived to think those fish somehow can live in such small spaces.

Gordon should open a food museum, where he always take one thing from the fridge (like the stone risotto) and put it on the ceiling, and when the food falls then from art becomes performance XD

[@Clayton-h4q]

Chef might not have had control of the menu but he does have responsibility for keeping a clean kitchen. No excuses.

25:44 BEST BE GETTING THIS GUY HIS FOOD,He's shaking, He's HANGRY😅😂😅

[@danagray9709]

The one kinda scary owner needs to be moved into the kitchen to expedite. Him being scary will be an asset as he calls out the dishes that need to be cooked and what needs to be improved. After all, who will want to piss that guy off? I certainly wouldn't!

[@joshheath4038]

How has Gordon never died eating from some of these places

[@arcuz7862]

He's too angry to die.

He ain't got time to die

One of the first Kitchen Nightmares I have watched where the head chef was an absolute beast.

[@malcolmporter4221]

Aaron was setup for failure but Scott showed he cared when he went back to the kitchen to have his back that was real

Never hire someone you couldn't fire.

Or you can't have sex with. Haha

[@jirigajdos4623]

One think whats in my mind is, that im very pleased on owners. How essentialy dont know how to run bussines, but they re open minded and willing to learn how to do it right. Not like many of others owners whos been in that show.

[@birgithiisjarv4465]

They closed in 2010 but it's far better than the usual were resturants are in too big of a dept and close in a few months

[@emilyanderson8945]

i have only worked in 1 restaurant and it was for a very short time before covid hit. there is no way the staff would’ve ever treated each other how they did here. i’m so glad they booted 2 of them. especially the guy saying f*ck you to aaron. you can tell aaron has a passion for his food and service

[@Danker19991]

The owners actually seemed really competent in this one. Just some bad management causing the problems.

[@IamNothingNowhere]

Yeah but the owners hired the guy

[@ontheroad8149]

37:36 men like him know they can bring the place down in an instant. They choose to remain quiet and friendly as their very appearance is dangerous. Loved how he controlled the rascals.

[@pakiman21]

Rumor has it that chef is still asking for that Fish Tacco.

[@pudnt]

Chef Aaron is a star. It's great to see when they're eager to learn from Gordon. I hope this place makes it!

[@bakaichigo]

Yikes those tiny fish "tanks" on the wall... That's sad for the fish (no, just because the beta fish came in a little box-like "tank" of water doesn't mean that's how they SHOULD live life) and that's also going to be a pain the arse to clean. All of those little bowls are going to need to be changed and cleaned regularly (notice there's no filtration in the small bowls, they're just open bowls on the wall with water) or the fish will die and the old water will smell up the place. It'd be best if they altered that after the fact to either be something that creates the illusion without the mess and fishprison or just got rid of that feature altogether. And the betta fish can be moved to better tanks and/or rehomed.

[@Tykal08]

Why u worried and complaining about it? It's not like you the one gets to clean it..

[@ronamirimi8454]

@@Tykal08 yes, but that's fish abuse and we need to spread awareness!

[@camptube7621]

Agreed. They don’t even seem to have filters. They will very soon need water changes. Even with filters there is hardly any water.

I think the reason Scott hunched over so much was that he was trying to look less intimidating.

Customer who was shaking and getting mad is the kid who took his ball home to end the game cause mommy called him in for dinner

[@levacfamily3177]

He’s a goof, how embarrassing that one would not only shake but worse admit to shaking over a meal. What else makes this piss ant shake? His kids talking too loud? His wife disagreeing with him? Hopefully him seeing how embarrassing this clip is makes him shake.

My Greek grandfather owned five restaurants in the Bay Area. He worked from 5am to 12am every day no days off. My father hated the restaurant business because of it. My grandfather always told me never open a restaurant. You won’t be successful in food unless it taste good consistent and great customer service clean and you never leave. That’s the life of a successful restaurant owner.

[@youmadhuh6375]

The problem here is there is no leadership.. no team work.. the manager should've been making sure the kitchen was up to par.. I'm not sure why Aj wasn't fired, his managerial skills was a joke. I would've fired that kitchen staff except Aaron..
