All work and no cooking makes Blakey a dull boy (picheavy)

Awesome food, Blake.  You really dig that squash, huh?  I've never had it or even thought of it until your recent showings. 

Again, great job!

Butternut squash is great! I was happy yesterday to see one sitting on the counter.

Grub looks good as always.

That machine is why I don't eat soft serve ice cream  or drink draught beer.  The cook looks great!

@thetrim‌ acorn and butternut squash have an excellent flavor. I try using produce etc as it is in season. Give some fall/winter squash a try. Ya may find you really like it.

So, you don't get fountain drinks, ice at restaurants, ice at the ice huts, slushes, snow cones etc? Believe it or not most are clean. This was an extremely neglected unit that hadn't been used in at least 8 months. It was the worse one I've seen. But, when seals fail to seal it happens.

what?? what's wrong with draught beer? noooooooooo......

 

squash is delicious, especially with lots of butter, salt, and brown sugar.

 

cooks illustrated has a side dishes magazine out now.  they have a butternut squash recipe that slices the squash into round circles before cooking, to give more area to carmelize.

Settled.  If I can find a squash, I'll do it this weekend.  Pics to follow.  Thanks for the motivation @NPHuskerFL
 Too bad it's a Husker off week

...and everything you buy at the grocery that's factory pre-packaged like ice cream, cottage cheese, etc.

@nolaegghead‌ working on industrial units I see low temp warehouse freezers and coolers that have a set maintenance schedule/cleaning and when they get close to borderline out of temp there are several alarms triggered. Some of which automatically call a supervisor so they can expedite a tech on-site. Same on larger restaurants that have high $$$ in their walk ins. It simply pays for them to be proactive vs reactive.

I'd agree and true most restaurants are pretty clean. but I still try to avoid it if possible. I have a four tap kegerator at home and I know what it takes to keep that thing clean. This video changed my view on draught beer. Lol my name is a very accurate representation of me One of my biggest fears it going out to eat and getting food poisoning and I end up s****ing my pants trying to make it back home

@NervousDad‌ again most keep them clean. Glycol units and draft beer and soda lines occasionally have to be flushed and sanitized. That is a disgusting video. I've seen very similar jobs before. So, I clean it up and go on to the next job. But, I understand your feeling on it.

Part of every drop of water anyone drinks was previously in the urine or excrement of billions of people (including Hitler), many with horrible diseases, democrats and republicans, and trillions of animals, some of them slimy and disgusting.  Only thing sure in life is WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!! AIEEEEE!!!  That said, I think I'll have another beer and watch the game.

there is a little known job that most people don't even know about...professional beer line cleaning. I've known the guy who for 33 years regularly steam flushed all the beer lines in practically every tavern in our SMSA with a population of 350k. He made a reasonable living at it. He told me early on the drawback was every tavern would give him free beer while he was cleaning and he would get home sh*tface every day he worked!
