I can't stand the "SHOEMAKER"

For those not in the "biz", a shoemaker is a cook or even a chef(heaven forbid) that takes shortcuts or doesn't care about the quality or integrity of the food he or she puts out. Watching them or working with them kills a piece of my culinary soul.

For example:

• When the SM(ShoeMaker) uses a canned product instead of fresh
• Puts roux(a thickener made from equal parts in weight butter and flour) in everything.
• Microwaves anything not just steaks.
• Fires food way too early just to have it sit in a hotbox for hours before an event.

These are just a few. I will be back I have to go grocery shopping now.
