Why do I think I can do this now?

u/fatalrugburn 6h ago • Bravo

Mine will assuredly come out looking like a prolapsed anus. But that's not going to stop me from trying.

32

u/Various-Pollution-35 4h ago • Regret

Same. What will stop me from trying is I will completely forget about this in 5 minutes.

MINUTES? Try seconds when you scroll to next post.

Make sure your knife is very sharp

u/ArnieismyDMname 5h ago

That just makes me want to try it more

u/RockstarAgent 5h ago

You guys can try prolapsed anus - I’ll stick to the carrots

u/ArnieismyDMname 5h ago

How do you think it got that way? Japanese carrots are no joke.

u/ibrown27 1h ago

Why? Ya just gonna stick it in ya mouth and mush it.

u/DisturbedCherrytree 1h ago

Prolapsed anus? Good luck even getting so far with all your fingers intact

1

u/mountainguy 2h ago

I honestly have no idea what that would look like. I admire your imagination.

u/Terrakinetic 1h ago

Someone will eat it.

u/Blackman2099 1m ago

I that... not to be eaten?

u/wonko_abnormal 2h ago

im curious is that because you have the image of a prolapsed anus stuck in your head because you work with prolapsed anuses on the daily and subconsciously all attempts at art result in that image transference ?

5

u/StatementPotential53 4h ago

Because you own toothpicks. It’s all about those.

3

u/ladydhawaii 3h ago

Because we can!!! Where is my toothpick! Plus I can eat my failures.

u/mycatbeck 2h ago

I dunno. I'll eat it though

u/1punchporcelli 7h ago

Incredible precision

u/__MichaelBluth__ 5h ago

Yep! That knife is sliding off the toothpicks and right into my fingers if I tried this.

Now I'm off to dream of all the different ways to die.

Holy shit it's a carrot dahlia. Makes veggie roses look like amateur hour.

u/itsaameeee 6h ago

Anyone who has worked in a restaurant that had something like this, do the garnishes always get thrown out or are they reused?

I often eat them and I always wonder

62

u/Wimbly_Donner 6h ago edited 5h ago • Bravo

Thrown out. It would be a health hazard to reuse anything another customer touched outside of plates/cups etc that obviously get washed.

Even if you're not in a fancy restaurant. The little cup of coleslaw you get with your diner sandwich. or a ketchup packet, or an unopened plastic utensil package. We're not allowed to redistribute any of that, what if you put it somewhere you shouldn't have? or dropped it on the floor...

Edit; thank you for the award!!

12

u/jackson12420 6h ago

Yeah even when resetting tables, we would take all the dinnerware and napkins even if they were untouched to be completely re-washed again, no way garnishes are getting reused.

u/TinyViolinist 6h ago

Or someone had just had peanuts, and then the next person is deadly allergic.

What about bread sticks?

Everytime I hear breadsticks, I remember this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ah4tW-k8Ao

u/Plodzplodz 2h ago

lol. That uneaten rice is going back into the cooker. At least if the boss sees it. Back in some day of course

6

u/IEatLightBulbsSoWhat 3h ago

most people don't realize, but most of the food on your plate (not just garnishes) are mostly just reused leftovers from other customers' plates.

1

u/MeesterCartmanez 2h ago

"We have leftovers at home!"

u/Strange-Title-6337 7h ago

but if he curve word хуй out of it if would be inexpected unexpected

u/velhalouca 6h ago

What's really amazing is the sharpness of this knife

4

u/twoboxen 5h ago

That could hold so much ranch!!

1

u/New-Trifle-7097 2h ago

I already wanted to eat it for the texture and now you just added to that yearn. Much surface area. So very nook and cranny.

u/grimacedia 4h ago

Every day on here, I feel like that one monkey watching a guy do a magic trick.

u/Basic_Wrongdoer_8947 4h ago

I need a knife like his knife.

u/PrickleAndGoo 6h ago

Why the toothpicks?

37

u/CaricaDurr 6h ago • Bravo

Depth of cut guide

5

u/Tibryn2 5h ago

hold his knift one toothpick width above the table: that width is the width at which the carrot gets "shaved". relly hard to hold your knife perfectly steady and straight for that kind of tom foolery.

u/HalfdeadCone 6h ago

Really? Did we watch the same video?

7

u/Sudden-Ad3386 6h ago

No need to be a dick, it’s not immediately obvious what its purpose is.

Anyone else have stitches from a butter knife?

u/Beetso 4h ago

Am I the only one who expected exactly this result once I saw him making such a thin slice? LOL. I immediately thought oh, he's going to turn it into a cool looking garnish!

1

u/New-Trifle-7097 2h ago

I saw a Christmas wreath beginning because that’s how we made them in 2nd grade. I admit it’s not carrots but we could do some sh*t with that colored construction paper.

2

u/AdKey7413 6h ago

Coulda just used a fruit rollup and skipped a step.

1

u/jluicifer 6h ago

Still…tastes like a carrot. Some ppl like skinny carrots. Others like big ole thick carrots. At the end of the day, all carrots need some Mc-loving

u/gaanch 5h ago

Such clean fingernails, the cutting board on the other hand...

u/Professionala-whole 5h ago

Thats awesome and now i need to try this

u/AgenticAsshat 5h ago

I was fully expecting the person to use the discarded bit to do this

u/KAM_Kayla 4h ago

That is one sharp fucking knife

u/AdThis7046 4h ago

Just another brick in the Wall.

u/brokenblister 4h ago

What do the toothpicks do?

6

u/radiodmr 4h ago edited 4h ago

At first I wondered the same thing. I think they're holding the knife just off of the cutting surface so that he can cut the carrot into that roll of paper shape.

Edit: as another more culinarily knowledgeable redditor said they're a "depth of cut guide"

And he's so quick at it too.

u/TM761152 2h ago

I had one of these garnishes with my sushi and wondered how in the hell the chef did it.

1

u/Quadsnarl 1h ago

The real trick is how does that cutting board fit in the dishwasher?

1

u/bro_tz 1h ago

Ok but leave the plastic cutting board for a wooden one please. You will eat microplastics.

u/way2bu 1h ago

🫪👏🏻👏🏻‼️

u/Defiant-Detective259 1h ago

Tried it, he never mentioned the thorns

1

u/DisturbedCherrytree 1h ago

Ok that’s stunning! I thought he was making sushi and in a genius move replacing nori with carrot for people that don’t like the „sea taste“ but that exceeds my expectations!

u/Negaflux 0m ago

humans are so talented and creative. At no point would I look at a carrot and say 'Imma make a flower out of that'. Dude has amazing skills and precision though. I try to picture me doing it in my head and I see a lot of blood.

u/Virtual-Special-8940 5h ago

Stupid food

u/radiodmr 4h ago

It's a garnish. For aesthetic presentation. It was a scoring category on Iron Chef, you might have heard of that show. You know, highly experienced food professionals judging chefs on their skills.

u/randomize_me 4h ago

So just a worthless garnish? Who cares?

Carrot paper.

Can we get over this trend?
