OT-I am treading lightly here- the buffalo is firing on all cylinders-OT but ...

The thread about "now the college football season begins" or words to that effect has been totally buffaloed.  It was focused on Navy -Army Football played Dec 14, 2019.  Navy won (31-7) and after all the banter I posted a few pics of @thetrim coming thru (regardless of the five letter shipping company's best efforts) in great fashion earlier today.
And to continue-the sunset thread on Rockwood has been sunk. The Buffalo must be an Oklahoma fan...
FWIW-

Well the Buffalo is native to the mid west. Not sure exactly where since they roam.

More so The Great Plains.  I believe the land and culture were more desirable!

I wish he would get rid of the post by the professional chef, trying to pass herself off as a regular egghead!

Love her posts, always excellent. I’ll just never be on her level, I can live with that.

@Markarm4119 Dude, seriously, I'm not a professional chef.  I'm not a chef period.  My only experience in the food industry was a two month stint at McDonald's in high school, and I was a cashier.

frazzdaddy

@smokingal , don't sweat  the "game envy" post on. Your cooks are awesome!

If your only culinary experience was McDonald’s, then ol Ronald must be one hell of a teacher. I’m heading out for a job application come sunrise. 😉

Do not care where you learned your outstanding excellence in cooking, but should you, and a select few others, ever feel the need to not post your works of art, I think I certainly would find this forum less interesting and not worth my time.

Keep it rolling.

I believe this is sarcasm.  My goal is one day to copy one of the cooks @smokingal posts up and blow away my friends and family 😁

In the meantime, I eagerly await her next awesome cook.  Simpletons like me need direction haha

What I don't understand is how the buffalo will delete certain threads but we have an all time high of troll accounts on the forum.

We have a tendency to attribute certain actions to malice, when they can be explained much more easily.

All the world’s a stage,

And all the men and women merely players;

They have their exits and their entrances;

And one man in his time plays many parts,

His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,

Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms;

And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel

And shining morning face, creeping like snail

Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,

Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad

Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,

Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,

Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,

Seeking the bubble reputation

Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,

In fair round belly with good capon lin’d,

With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,

Full of wise saws and modern instances;

And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts

Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon,

With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;

His youthful hose, well sav’d, a world too wide

For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,

Turning again toward childish treble, pipes

And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,

That ends this strange eventful history,

Is second childishness and mere oblivion;

Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

As others have noted, I'm pretty sure that this post was not meant to be taken seriously.  With that said, having dined with the Dean of the Culinary Institute of America, and having eaten a fair amount of egghead food, I'm convinced the biggest difference between a professional chef and many of the best eggheads is in quantity and consistency.  Most of us can cook one great dish at a time.  Many eggheads can put together a whole meal of great dishes.  But it takes a pro chef to consistently put out dozens of great dishes of all types when there is a time crunch.

Pro chefs don’t have time to be messing around on this forum. They are some of the hardest working (and longest hours) folks out there. The restaurant biz ain’t no joke.

Yep.  They’re hustling.

So first I wonder who disagreed with this.  The average American work week is like 34hrs.  Granted reddit may have more anecdotal evidence, but let's take the 45-60hr work week and call it reasonable.  That's 30-70% more work hrs than the average work week.

I call that hustling...

I don’t know man.  Nobody owns up to anything when it comes to disagreeing or flagging posts these days.  

Anyway, some of the responses in that reddit thread discussed how some weeks can easily get to 80 or 90 hours.  This jives with the people I know in the restaurant business, who are all working their tails off. 

wardo

I would think that an owner/chef would be working 12hrs a day 6-7days a week so that does make even more sense @johnincarolina

This is the internet and it tends to be an echo chamber so I get people not necessarily wanting to chime up with differening opinions.  But ya some of the flags and such seem to be a little odd to say the least.  I assume that they'll just lose their validity over time as everything gets flagged.

It however seems this OT thread has further gotten OT, so my apologies @lousubcap
