  • They need to charge less for guacamole when its only 2 small spoonfuls worth. Also why have I seen the cooks in the back not wearing gloves?

    Otherwise papacitos is good food.

  • do you wear gloves when you cook?

  • professor I don't understand what you are saying...

    I think if someone is handling my burrito and it is not ME handling my own food...then they should wear gloves for sanitary reasons.

    don't ever eat food outside of the U.S. then.

  • MegP, I'm not from the US and I've eaten plenty of food from my country and other countries in restaurants where they where gloves if they are directly handling the food without it then being cooked.
  •  » quote
  • i just thought it was a good time to mention that i am a former chef, and i never saw a customer pitch a fit about any food prepared for them by a white person without gloves, but plenty fits were pitched.

    to be fair, there aren't that many white people in open kitchens in brooklyn.

    europe doesn't count.

  • What do you mean awareness? Awareness about what! I am strictly talking about making a burrito that will not be cooked after handling it with bare hands....

    This has nothing to do with whether the chef is black, latino, white, asian, etc.

  • CA, really? then every restaurant i've ever worked in was breaking the law repeatedly.

    "chefs" are the worst. they straight up stick their spoons in for tastes all the time. the more "famous" they are, the more egregious their offenses.
  •  » quote
  • yeah, you're supposed to wear gloves for anything that's not going to be cooked in-between yr hands and the customers' mouths. every restaurant breaks the law repeatedly. also: the law is pretty stupid.

    good chefs carry multiple spoons, or keep tasting spoons around, or wash their spoon between tastes.

  • yeah. i know they're supposed to, but i've worked events with tons of big name chefs and they don't.

  • Do you know how hot kitchens get? Sweat gets in food all of the time. I really don't think you should be that worried about gloves.

    When I was still cheese mongering there was a woman who was ordering a raw milk milk mold covered goat cheese and nearly had a heart attack that I touched it without gloves. That amazed me. It came from the underside of an animal and then sat in a musty cave but oh no my hands (that I washed 700 times a day) could not come into contact with it.

  • Also God Bless Wikipedia:

    Debate over the origins of the chimichanga is ongoing:[4][5]
    According to one source,[6] the founder of the Tucson, Arizona, restaurant El Charro, Monica Flin, accidentally dropped a pastry into the deep fat fryer in 1922. She immediately began to utter a Spanish curse-word beginning "chi..." (chingada), but quickly stopped herself and instead exclaimed chimichanga, the Spanish equivalent of thingamajig.[7] Fortuitously, the euphemism was a well understood Indianism for the standard Spanish "chango quemado", meaning "broiled monkey", which the chimichanga resembles.

I recently took it off for a family funeral because I didn't want to start a fight with my shitbag Uncle Donny who would have thought I was wearing it JUST to provoke his ire. I sewed it back on afterwards and snapped three sewing needles in the process.

    In case anyone was wondering, the tangible cost of compromise is three sewing needles.
