Yes, I am fully aware of how odd the final cut is. And at the same time, I’m rather proud of myself for having the balls to attempt it. Just like the cookbook and this site, the idea sounded great while stoned out of my mind. The practicality of pulling …
First off, I’m not done cooking, I’m just done with the bullshit in the industry and working my ass off for other people’s businesses. I’m still available for private events, teaching and things like that. That being said, fuck the industry. The details on what happened don’t really matter and …
Let’s face it, some stereotypes are funny as hell and having worked in the industry for nearly 25 years, I’ve seen some things you can’t unsee. Please understand I’m not talking trash about any of these guys since I’ve worked with them all over the years and at the end …

ED note: I first published this artical 3 years ago and have since had several Sysco reps contact me to dispute various points in this article. Every time, I have invited them to go on record and every time, they’ve had some excuse why they can’t. These are the same …
