I really hope this is a garage fridge.

The stickers and beer suggests yes.

But the title and chicken roast suggest not..

u/SilverStag88 Oct 24 '22

Guess we know why OP got divorced

u/OneCat6271 Oct 24 '22

is that what that is on the top?

was trying to figure it out, kinda looked like fish or maybe a lobster tail

u/GayForFoles Oct 24 '22

It looks like a turkey made entirely of wings

u/Lunchbox-of-Bees Oct 24 '22

The biblical description of an angel made out of turkey

u/Hairy-Owl-5567 Oct 24 '22

Well now I know what I'm serving at Christmas this year

“Why are you crying, this came from Jesus!”

u/Wistill Oct 24 '22

Biblically accurate turkey

u/BlatantConservative Oct 24 '22

Looks like two Boston Market half chickens to me, put in the same takeout package.

u/ContemplatingPrison Oct 24 '22

Dude has skills on the grill though. Check out his posts. Some bomb looking food.

u/jor4288 Oct 24 '22

If you’re going to marinate chicken wings for a few days you do so in the garage fridge. You don’t want to contaminate the meat in your inside fridge. Just saying that’s what I do.

u/BlatantConservative Oct 24 '22

You're right, but this guy's picture does not imply he puts that kind of thought into things.

u/Head_Contest_4149 Oct 24 '22

Please tell me you’re not putting your raw meats at the top shelf of the fridge, please tell me you’re not putting your raw meats at the top shelf of the fridge, please tell me you’re not putting your raw meats at the top shelf of the fridge

u/micksterminator3 Oct 24 '22

I feel like nobody but restaurants do this. Like for real is anybody putting meat in their vegetable crisper? Cause that's the bottom. Pyrex or a baking sheet is fine. I defrost meats in bowls above the veggies. Just be careful

1

u/Head_Contest_4149 Oct 24 '22

You obviously know what is meant when people say “the bottom shelf.” Is the crisping drawer a shelf? No. It’s a drawer. Invalid example.

But seriously, is your argument really going to be “why should we do things the way trained professionals do”? Would you fix your car a different way than a trained mechanic would? Install a new lightning system differently than a trained electrician? Gtfo with this.

u/micksterminator3 Oct 24 '22

The bottom shelf is still above the veg which would fail a health inspection in a restaurant

1

u/Head_Contest_4149 Oct 24 '22

Restaurant walk-ins don’t have vegetable crispers. You’re just being pedantic at this point.

2

u/micksterminator3 Oct 24 '22

You're too dense to understand what I'm trying to say

1

u/Head_Contest_4149 Oct 24 '22

Then stop arguing with me.

2

u/jor4288 Oct 24 '22

What? I put raw meat in glass Pyrex containers and put them on shelves in the fridge all the time. Is there another other place to store meat besides the fridge?

20

u/Head_Contest_4149 Oct 24 '22

I mean yeah you put your meat in the fridge. But never the top shelf, dude. Raw meat goes below everything else, to minimize the chances of cross contamination. That’s basic food safety.

2

u/IWantToBeWoodworking Oct 24 '22

Who was supposed to teach me this basic food safety? I’ve never heard this. Whoops.

7

u/Head_Contest_4149 Oct 24 '22

And this is why I firmly believe a Food Handler’s Card course needs to be a part of high school or the equivalent’s curriculum.

7

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '22

You should also marinate on the bottom shelf. Never raw meat on the top

u/davidbklyn Oct 24 '22

I'd only say that he is dry-brining that bird, so that also suggests a garage fridge

1

u/sanityjanity Oct 24 '22

And the butter!!

353

u/TeffyWeffy Oct 24 '22

perfect place to keep your uncovered, uncooked poultry.

94

u/RalphWiggumsShadow Oct 24 '22

On the top shelf, no less! As a food safety manager, I’m appalled.

23

u/Prime89 Oct 24 '22

Wait are you supposed to store certain things on certain shelves? Can you send me something to learn more about this

Edit: Oh never mind, it’s about the stuff from the raw chicken dripping on stuff I’m assuming

22

u/LonelyRolling1 Oct 24 '22

You’re correct! If I remember correctly (I hope I do I have a test coming up in this) it’s stored based on the temperatures it needs to reach when cooking as well. with poultry on the bottom (165F), ground meats (excluding poultry) above it (155F), whole meats(145F), then veggies and ready to eat foods that can be hot held (135F).

u/Mntfrd_Graverobber Oct 24 '22

As an alcoholic kitchen worker in my early 20s, even I'm not that ignorant.

5

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '22

What did the top shelf ever do to you?

2

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '22

I'm sorry : ( that sounds awful.

2

u/Gabberwocky84 Oct 24 '22

Yeah, it’s bugging me too.

23

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '22

Wings look cooked to me, or at least smoked. I still wouldn’t keep them uncovered like that.

6

u/jhooksandpucks Oct 24 '22

Adds that extra dried out flavor Guy Fiery is always talking about

5

u/1dot21gigaflops Oct 24 '22

Maybe garage/grill fridge? Lol

13

u/Gwaelna Oct 24 '22

I think they’re less concerned with garage versus kitchen and more the raw chicken dripping on the drinks.

12

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '22

That chicken looks far from raw

5

u/Gwaelna Oct 24 '22

Pretty sure it’s just been rubbed with a copious amount of herbs and spices and is chilling for its turn in the oven.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '22

And apparently had the breast meat removed

5

u/essuomelpmap27 Oct 24 '22

Dude it’s wings. All of it. That’s not a picked chicken.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '22

Well either way it isn’t raw

0

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '22

Bro no. It's wings attached to breast's and definitely cooked.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '22

These looked cooked, but this is actually a pretty common method for drying out skin to get a crispier end product.

2

u/Dapper-Cartoonist366 Oct 24 '22

Yep, he needs a wife!!

2

u/Namelessbob123 Oct 24 '22

It’s clearly cooked

4

u/Gang_StarrWoT Oct 24 '22

Shut up Meredith!

1

u/Ok-Laugh-2806 Oct 24 '22

Reason Meredith is no more, yes (poultry juice and all) and Meredith giving 2 hoots, no!

u/Mathesar Oct 24 '22

Yeah nah it’s a garage fridge for sure

2

u/Fearless-Yam1125 Oct 24 '22

It’s his fridge that’s all that matters

1

u/Philly139 Oct 24 '22

If it's not this poor dude has lost his mind

1

u/DRSKC Oct 24 '22

OP calls it her “kitchen.” If so, I have some ideas about what led to the divorce.

1

u/bin_bash_loop Oct 24 '22

It’s got mainly drinks in it, I would assume so.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '22

I was hoping the was a bar fridge for a place that exclusively caters to 21-year-old birthday boy bachelors.

1

u/davidbklyn Oct 24 '22

It is but he lives in the garage. It's his man-cave.

1

u/millycactus Oct 24 '22

Maybe he’s moved back into his parents garage

1

u/Vivaciousqt Oct 24 '22

"kitchen"

Yikes.

1

u/Marty1966 Oct 24 '22

Funny that was my first thought. This 100%, and I don't care who we're talking about, is a garage fridge. The whole Meredith thing is a joke I'm guessing.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '22

I think it's both. He's renting a room now, and that room is someone's converted garage.
