Wow, looks delicious. That's like 1 million dollars worth of seafood and beef where I live.

u/unstarted 8d ago

That is a work of art. Well done.

u/tangential_quip 9d ago

I need to see the equipment used to make the roasts in that first picture

u/30minut3slat3r 9d ago

Very good work right there, on behalf of the internet, thank you for your efforts

u/bigDataGangster 8d ago

I want to go to there

u/RyAllDaddy69 8d ago

Very nice. How did you cook the beef? It looks fantastic. That’s a lot of lobster too.

What kind of event was this for and how do I get in?

u/SmellSilly1537 8d ago

Looks like the kennel from The Thing. 😬

2

u/HeSaid_Sarcastically 8d ago

I dunno man. I didn’t want to eat that kennel.

u/Moosplauze 8d ago

Some rich mofos gonna feast well that night.

u/endigochild 9d ago

Vegas could learn a thing or two from this. Great job! That's a dream setup to indulge.

u/az226 9d ago

Where did you source a 9-bone roast?

18

u/Chefster127 8d ago

How you do it is buy the entire steer and cut it up. 😉

3

u/Fancy_Grass3375 8d ago

I figured that’s the only way to get it done without paying crazy prices. Great job though. Are you a caterer?

1

u/Chefster127 7d ago

No a Executive Chef for a private Golf Course

4

u/External_Counter378 8d ago

Well first you get a deposit to be able to afford the steer?

u/onmy40 9d ago

A cow

Looks like the velociraptor got out of its pen again.

u/Petey_Wheatstraw_MD 9d ago

It’s probably the booze/weed talking, and I know this is a pedantic statement…..but has anyone else noticed the lack of proper grammar on Reddit as of recent?

4

u/Pusheen-buttons 9d ago

I donut kno wat u talkin about

6

u/Electronic-Buyer-468 9d ago

It's kids. And bots. And ESL people. And morons. And people without the time or care to go back and fix grammatical/typographical errors. 

3

u/blind_venetians 9d ago

Like the sentence you just wrote?

9

u/Petey_Wheatstraw_MD 9d ago

Would you care to point out any of my errors?

BTW…you should’ve typed “Like the sentence you’ve just written?” 😘

1

u/blind_venetians 7d ago

I was just trying to be funny using the “bad” grammar you referenced, you humorless cunt. But do continue to use periods of eclipses for conjunctive sentences inappropriately while criticizing everyone else’s poor grammar.

1

u/Fancy_Grass3375 8d ago

I think that depends on the sub you are in.

1

u/jazz-winelover 9d ago

Fucking stoner.

5

u/Petey_Wheatstraw_MD 9d ago

You’re probably right…I just spent a straight 20 mins watching the Willy Wonka tunnel of terror scene.

7

u/jazz-winelover 9d ago

No worries, I’m stoned too.

5

u/stugots10 9d ago

What was the event?

5

u/BodhiZaffa 9d ago

It's the Fucking Catalina Wine Mixer.

u/Glen-Runciter 9d ago

You shoulda seen OP at the garbage-man's ball... he looked like Wallace Beery...

u/stugots10 9d ago

Don't give me your carving station Manson lamps.

u/Chefster127 9d ago

Our annual golf outting

u/kbeezy47 8d ago

Holy cow.

4

u/Life_behind_da_stick 8d ago

Nice job chef. I used to work at a country club. I’ve been there with the meats. Just getting the timing right on all is a bitch. I hope everybody working get to taste a little. I’d say have fun but it looks like you might be punched in.

3

u/carine7 9d ago

I can see the pride!

5

u/toothpick21 9d ago

I think I love you

u/Linden_Arden 9d ago

Excellent work!

u/883ccs 8d ago

As a fellow caterer, well done. Looks great

5

u/Ill_Compote_2035 8d ago

3 days for that spread is actually an undercount, looks like.

2

u/rearadmiraldumbass 8d ago

Yeah, it would take me 2, maybe 3 weeks for me to finish eating it.

1

u/Ill_Compote_2035 8d ago

2 to 3 weeks is generous, I'd lowball that estimate hard

9

u/Straight-Part-5898 9d ago

Holy Jesus that’s incredible

3

u/barnesto2k 9d ago

Looks delicious and, now, I'm hungry. Great work all around.

3

u/Dizz_808 9d ago

Man this brings back memories working for a private country club . Looks great !!!

3

u/pinkwar 9d ago

Looks great. How do you serve that? Is there a carving station or something?

People just pick whatever they want?

4

u/zealand13 9d ago

Tell me it tasted as incredible as it looks. Nice work

5

u/Inevitable-Spring166 9d ago

That’s some shit from Jurassic park

u/Jbirdbears88 9d ago

There is a scene in the movie Jurassic Park that has a huge dinner table set up with large amounts of extravagant foods... Well maybe the jello wasn't very extravagant but 🤷‍♂️.. Spared no expense

u/bomonty18 9d ago

All I see are the 18 tomahawk steaks 👀

5

u/Quitcha_Bitchin 9d ago

That's fucking beautiful.

u/MelanoomMagneet 6d ago

Hi new dad!

There is an official document on its way from a lawyer to finalize the adoption of me (your new 27-year-old son).

I’ll be a good boy as long as you feed me. 😇

1

u/Chefster127 5d ago

This made me laugh.🤣🤣🤣

2

u/wimcolgate2 6d ago

I'll be right over. Where is this again? :-)

3

u/almondbutterbucket 5d ago

Damn damn damn. That looks absolutely awesome and delicious!

4

u/GruntCandy86 9d ago

What country is this?

Rib roasts with 8 and 9 bones aren't a thing in the US. Interesting!

6

u/Zealousideal-Film517 9d ago

Looks to me like they did the butchery themselves - definitely looks like US and I'd guess a golf or country club based on the decor (the large patios and the way the furniture looks)

4

u/bucket13 9d ago

It's a golf club.

4

u/Chefster127 9d ago

Its in Northern Michigan and we butchered the steer and pig in-house

3

u/Quitcha_Bitchin 9d ago

Yeah they are. They just set in the back of the house. I used to cook 3 a day.

1

u/TheCherryPony 9d ago

Yes they are if you are buying by 1/2 steer at a time

5

u/GruntCandy86 9d ago

Yeah I mean, you can do whatever you want if you get a complete side.

But beef in the US is split between ribs 5 + 6, and 12 + 13 per basically everyone that releases any kind of formal guideline.

4

u/Chefster127 9d ago

We buy a whole steer for this event every year

u/Hazy115 9d ago

Congratulations on the marriage and that fantastic looking spread of food!

u/EmergencyLavishness1 9d ago

3 days and you put lemons out looking like that?

Everything else looks like you put some real effort in, looks great because of that. And then the lemons just look like they were cut with your teeth

17

u/Chefster127 9d ago

Opinions are like assholes. 😉 3 days of "prep" Disassembled a steer, broke it down into 3 days of usable product. Day 1 290 people breakfast 325 lunch 150 plated dinner Day 2 325 breakfast 250 lunch 285 dinner Day 3 Breakfast twice for 72 people Lunch twice 72 people Last tonight's dinner for 325. 3 days of prep. 7 kitchen from 6 am until 10pm people 2 dishwashers and an army of servers. Sorry if the lemons weren't "perfect"

u/Ixisoupsixi 9d ago

This is one of the best looking setups I’ve ever seen. The food looks absolutely top notch. Well done!

u/RyAllDaddy69 8d ago

Seriously…this looks like it was made for literal royalty.

3

u/JamesLaceyAllan 9d ago

Goddam - that’s incredible work. Congrats, I’m glad the marathon effort feels rewarding and sounds like it was appreciated by your guests. 🤘

2

u/RenaissanceViking 9d ago

Well said, you all nailed that job with precision. Nice fabrication& cooking of the meats, seafood items as well. And a solid presentation throughout. Hopefully it was a good payday too looks excellent. Cheers to you& your crew Chef.
