Help make our soldiers time overseas a little easier
Through the coordinated effort of a food service friend and veteran, and others who have donated time and resources, a program has been started to send portion control packaged condiments to our brave soldiers fighting in Afganistan and Iraq. While I haven’t had the pleasure of tasting the MRE’s made for our soldiers to eat, I’m told that as good as they are, a little ketchup can make it taste much much better for one of our soldiers.
To bring a little comfort to our soldiers, Steve Armstrong is collecting case lots of the following condiments to send overseas to our soldiers:
- Mayo
- Mustard
- Ketchup
- Tartar sauce
- Horseradish cream
- Hot sauce
- Pickle relish
- Creamers (dried or liquid)
- Sugar
- Sugar substitutes
Please visit Steve’s website at http://www.operationflavor.com/ and find out how to send them a case of whatever you can spare. It would really put a smile on the faces of some of our countries bravest men and women.
Reading suggestion – The Chef's Commandments
I just finished reading my pre-publication, review copy of The Chef’s Commandments: Maximize your kitchen’s profitability by J.A. Mendez from Pineapple Publications. Good read.
To be honest, I have to tell you that I was interviewed for this book, and the publisher used some of my blogs and articles for content, so I may be biased. Either way, I suggest picking up a copy of The Chef’s Commandments for yourself. The author, Antonio, has done a great job of packing a lot of useful information about operating a successful restaurant into a 138-page book that only takes a few hours to read.
Antonio’s book delves into food cost control, marketing, menu creation, safety, sanitation and even managing employees. While it isn’t an “in-depth” study of any one of these topics, it does a lot to focus you in the right direction, so you know what areas of your restaurant or food service you should be looking at to obtain more profit.
At $15.95, this book is a steal.
I almost forgot. This book is the first of a series, so keep your eyes out for the next installment in The Chef’s Commandments: Happy Cooks, Happy Customers – A chef’s guide to employee management.
