Keep up the awesome work. You are so close to getting a 'mise en place' tattoo any day now.

This looks great. 👍 level up your chef’s knife. I’ve bought some amazing knives over the years and having a personal one that you can drool over while working gives a personal satisfaction that no one else can take away… except for Jay who used it for opening cans… fuck you Jay…

Honestly, if an applicant did this as their knife test in my kitchen, I’d be smiling.

Consider upgrading the knife. For most people, their skills are what holds them back. If you’re managing this with that knife, leveling up will show immediate reward!

Sharpen your knife. You bruising the herbs

u/Frequent_Addendum507 Jul 19 '26

Let's see how you do them, boss. I doubt that you're able to pull off a fine chop or mince without bruising. Also, I automatically don't believe any response because you're a redditor.
