Went to a local restaurant supply store today, Was wandering around the used equipment section and stumbled upon THIS!! I had no idea they made such things! Had to be 4' long x 2' wide x waist high!! And only $2800!!! Hoss, you NEED one of these!

Me? I'll stick with the KA attachment! :laugh: :laugh:

    i worked in a meat department every now and then when i was employed at a grocery store in highschool.. i was normally a "grocery hog", but occasionally worked in the meat dept to help out.

    once was shown how to make sirloin tips. we'd open the sirloin cryo, then run it thru a similar looking dee-vice that would chunk it up and drop it into a gray plastic bin on the floor. the manager went off to do something, and while he was gone i ran a few sirloins thru it, changing out the bin when it got full.

    when he came back after a half hour maybe, he shrieked. i had a pile of meat on the floor at my feet. had forgotten to put a bin under it.

    i felt like an idiot... he said "ah well". and then scooped it up and put it all into a bin to be bagged and tagged. "hell. they are gonna cook it anyway" he said :unsure:

    They had used Globe slicers for $12-1500 too. Aside from the cost, where would you PUT one of those things!! They're HUGE!!!

    which is why i always laugh at the warnings that dry aging must be done under ultraviolet lights, in perfectly chilled and humidity-controlled environments. :laugh:

    Read Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain if you want a view into the kitchen - and he was at some good places, just imagine your local greasy spoon. Of course a restaurant inspector friend of mine always said he'd eat off the floor in McDonalds before he'd eat off the table at some "nicer" places.
