inA guy at the Rockford shop tour made me rethink roughing passes
Guess I have been living under a rock with my 70% stepover this whole time, sounds like Dale just saved your shop a bunch of money lol. Funny how some old guy in Rockford knows more than whatever training program we all sat through years ago. So what feed and speed did you end up running with that 40%, because I might be stealing that setup for my next 4140 job.

inPSA: that clogged drain in my rental took 11 days and 3 plumbers to fix, was it worth doing myself?
Been there with tree roots, worst money pit ever.

inRant: stop putting cold butter straight from the walk-in into your hollandaise, I caught two cooks doing this on Saturday
Oh man, cold butter in hollandaise is a KITCHEN CRIME. That stuff will break your sauce so fast and you just stand there watching it curdle like an idiot. Sorry you had to deal with that on a Saturday of all days, that's brutal.

inThe pitmaster at a gas station in Alabama changed how I trim brisket
That old guy was right and it took me way too long to figure it out. Spent years leaving a half inch of fat on there thinking I was protecting the meat, and all I got was a greasy mess with soggy bark. Trimmed a 12 pounder down to about a quarter inch a few months back and it was like cooking a different cut altogether. Bark actually set up crisp instead of steaming, and the flat came out just as juicy. The fat cap doesn't soak into the meat like people believe, it just sits there and keeps your rub from doing its job. Now I trim closer than I ever thought I should and I'm not going back.
