50 Ways to Kill Your Cook Staff

The kitchen is a very dangerous place. I was reminded of this recently while breaking down a trade show.  Four weeks afterwards, and I’m still recovering from painful second and third degree burns from hot deep-fryer oil.   There’s no doubt about it.  If you want to maim or kill somebody, the commercial kitchen is the place to…See More

Their Steaminess Was Brazin'

When Sal and Amanda discovered that she was expecting, they started dreaming of the heights that their future little Salamander would surmount.  Despite his gas problems, they were intent on raising him properly.It is that very sentiment which causes the parents of foodservice equipment to continue naming their offspring…See More

Another Shopping Season

The last thing that I want to think about during the winter solstice is more shopping. Yet, here I am pondering the greatest spree that that the foodservice equipment and supplies industry has to offer. It comes only once every two years and thankfully, it is in a warm place in the dead of winter. The NAFEM show in Orlando, FL, February 7-9, 2013 is many things to many people.  But, at its heart, it is still essentially a bazaar in the fine traditions of the country fair, the medieval market…See More

Count On Me For Counter Intelligence

This may be the oldest of all foodservice fixtures known.  The humble counter has served us since antiquity.  Separating the server from the patron, displaying the wares, maintaining the integrity of the food, or just facilitating the transaction, the counter has been a (sometimes invisible) component of our foodservice world for millennia.Originally ensconced in pharmacies, counter restaurants gave birth to the fountain soda industry.  Quick-service (formerly known as “fast food”) restaurants,…See More

It’s About The Food, Stupid!

I was reminded how insular the foodservice equipment and supplies industry can be when I went to a recent meeting. While attending the SFM’s workshop for vendors, I noticed that all talk centered around the procurement of comestibles. Supply chain management for the foodservice contract management firms revolves around their food buys. The purchasing by these largest of end-users pay scant attention, if any, to E&S specifications.Although this is a mostly proper strategy for contract…See More

Hi Joe, I'm new to fohboh and was looking for some local (NJ) members in the groups I added to my page today. I happened upon you and found your blogs and subsequently your "food for thought" page on your website very interesting. We're not exactly neighbors, as I am esconced in the lovely Pinelands of Ocean County, but still NJ nonetheless. I tried subscribing to your "food for thought" but was having some difficulty getting the page to load. I'd like to add you as contact mostly because I like to keep everything pertinent to my locale. I like to maintain business contacts within the state of NJ as much as possible. Would that be alright? BTW, I'm so curious... how did Cliff, the "well credentialed professional chef" get that sweet gig?

Regards, Kitty

I wanted to personally invite you to join our discussions in regards to cheeses at the Cheese Group on FohBoh. Every week we introduce a new cheese and invite you to find it in your area, buy it, try it and then dicuss it with us. We could use someone like yourself who could give us some good, positive feedback.
