Prior to starting Bud's Best in 1991, Bud Cason owned and ran Greg's Cookies in Birmingham. He purchased the business in 1970. Sales were only one million dollars per year. In 1983, he purchased Bishop Baking Company (a snack cake company) in Cleveland, TN. He sold the two companies in 1986 when revenues were 23 million. Bud had to sign a 5-year non-compete agreement.
Bud's Best Cookies began construction of the 89,000 sq. ft. building in 1991. The first cookies were sold in April of 1993. Sales for 1993 were 1.8 million. Bud Cason started a whole new concept (bite size cookies) and very few of his "old" customers were willing to switch brands. They were still selling the full-size, economy cookies. Bud was now making an upscale, bite size cookie.
Since 1995, Bud's Best has been contract manufacturing for a national baking company and won the "Co-packer of the Year Award" in 1998 for manufacturing excellence.
We started the third addition to the factory in 2001, and it was completed in 2002. We added an additional 47,000 square feet of warehouse space and extended one of our 80 foot ovens to 160 feet doubling our sandwich cookie production capability from four thousand to eight thousand sandwich cookies per minute!
We have two other lines that make wire-cut and rotary cookies, and we can make around 3,500 per minute on each of those lines. The total capacity (output) is over 1 million cookies per hour.

Over the years our facility has grown to over 130,000 square feet, and our Safe Quality Foods (SQF) is a food safety program that meets the requirements of Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). The Program was formed to boost the confidence of consumers toward food manufacturers and provides independent certification that a supplier's food safety and quality management system complies with international and domestic food safety regulations. This enables suppliers to assure their customers that food has been produced, processed, prepared and handled according to the highest possible standards. Our plant is certified to SQF 2000 Level 3 which means that we not only meet the Food Safety requirements, but also the Food Quality requirements.

Hey guys, I'm barely starting to make my own food more and more and am pretty happy with how this came out.
Chicken breast, spinach, blue cheese, walnut, and a balsamic reduction.
Any other folks who are barely learning how to work the stove and such? What recent things are you proud of?

That looks dope as fuck.
Been trying a lot of shit out lately, and my favorite that actually turns out well is salmon with a maple/soy marinade. Emptied the marinade into a pan and reduced w/butter and citrus and it was a decent sauce. Served with stir fry bok choy and turnip.

So /ck/, I just got a 12 inch lodge cast iron the other day, I seasoned it, washed it, seasoned it, washed it, seasoned it.
I tried to make some burgers in it tonight, and they stuck a lot more than I wanted them too, so I washed it again and put a light coat of oil on it.
My question is, since it's still sticking, should I season it in the oven a few more times, or just keep cooking with it until it builds up naturally. Also, after every use when I clean it, when I rub another coat of oil on it, should I be heating it or just let it stay there?

Damn. Thanks dude. I'll try this. Don't have a self-cleaning cycle on my oven though so I'll have to find a way to strip the seasoning I've already put on there.

Just enough to come through in the finished product, aka too much. Use your own judgement instead.

Just one bottle. Maybe a little bit less.

Somewhere between a quarter and a third of a cup.

How would this seasoning go on pizza? I like my pizza plain and with oregano, garlic powder, and small thin layer of hot sauce (I would add a lot more but it overpowers it)
I love the fucking smell this Chinese five spices thing gives off though, reminds me of the star anise and clove with tea cigarettes I used to roll (for obvious reasons). Would it be gud for pizza? What seasonings do u usually add

maybe in a curry or a pasta, but not on pizza

Just had it
Not bad
But it's kinda sweet from the anise and clove
Just fennel and cardamom would be better

wasabi
try it
i'll not guarantee
Anyone have any good ideas for cooking/baking with whey protein?
General rules for cooking with whey:
>whey is ALWAYS 1/4 the recipe
>must use a flour (oats, coconut flour)
>must use a moisturizer (cottage cheese, sweet pototoes)
>needs a binding substance (eggs, egg whites)
Cookies, cakes, pies, pancakes, breads are all great, but I'm looking for something more out of the box.
Here's a link for more info:

i know this isn't cooking but i like your thread and you're going to take my bump whether you like it or not
>1 cup yogurt
>2 scoops whey
>1 tbsp powdered peanut butter
>sugar
mix this and stick it in the freezer overnight for a protein froyo thing in the morning. It's gonna be pretty hard but if you want a froyo consistency you're going to need to stir it every couple hours but fuck that noise.
I use this recipe to get a fat chunk of my protein macros in before i leave the house and hit the gym. It feels like some sort of futuristic super meal.

Anyone in the service industry here? Managers or anyone in fine dining?
I'd really love to serve in a fine dining setting but I don't have prior experience serving in anything close.
A VERY popular spot in my city is holding open interviews this week and I plan on paying them a visit.
I've been serving for over a year at a higher-end chain ($16-$25 per entree) but didn't learn a few key things that would probably be really beneficial. To be specific, I don't know too much about wine like how to differentiate between them or their characteristics. Also, I won't be turning 21 for another few weeks.
Would this be a deal breaker for the hiring manager?
I would seriously love to work there.

one thing to understand is that regardless of the "class" or price of a restaurant. the people will still 60-70% of the time be completely shitty.
the higher the price point the more shitty the complaints. Be prepared to deal with that on the regular. also expect to work with a lot of people who don't like your job as much as you do.
(was a bartender then a "mixologist" for 4 years)

>people will still 60-70% of the time be completely shitty
That's basically a given. I don't care too much when the check average will be at least $60-80 per person without booze
>higher the price point the more shitty the complaints
I could see that, but the last point will still apply
>expect to work with a lot of people who don't like your job as much as you do
doesn't sound like anything will change
I'd actually like to work in the bar too. How did you get into it? And what are you doing now?
>>
>>7351594
It will probably depend on how much they need another employee.
When I hire, if I've lost more than one person recently, I need to fill the spot more quickly and care more for experience/qualifications. If you aren't 21, with at least a prior year experience, or you don't seem like a fast learner, I'm not interested.
If I'm just hiring to build a crew then I don't care as much about your age or experience. If you seem capable of learning and have a good attitude, you're the person I look for. I can train you to do what's best if I have time to.
So I guess just don't be a dumbass. Be pleasant and not too chatty. Be eager to learn.

You ever made your own cheese, /ck/? I wonder what I could add to this. If I add bastard saffron it's basically cheddar, right?

How do you add saffron to that? Unwrap, put saffron in and then mush it thoroughly?

I guess so. I added bastard saffron (i can't remember the real name, but it's similar to saffron for a hundreth the price) and salt. It turned a little yellow. I think it probably needs to be reheated and mixed with some kind of oil in order to make the type of cheddar you typically find in stores.
>>
cheddar cheese has to be cheddared, you fool. you made yellow queso, which is fine, but cheddaring is a lot more work and time. like 3 months, minimum.
Well well, what do we have here?

Hello /ck/, I don't come here often, but I'd like your advice. I decided this afternoon to break my vegetarianism, which I held to for several years. My question is how should I ease myself back into eating meat without fucking my shit up.
I started with a turkey wrap today.
Thanks

try insects like crickets or mealworms
Anyone here suffer from bad GERD or acid reflux?
I'm on medication which helps, but my diet is pretty limited. I avoid a lot of processed and fatty food, and have some pretty awful restrictions on what won't set me off.
>Very limited intake of dairy
>No onions, tomatoes, peppers, citrus or high amounts of sugar
>Heavy fats and sauces are out
>Many spices set me off, especially cinnamon, garlic, tumeric, pepper and cumin.
While I'm making do cooking my own meals, and eating pretty healthy, its all bland as fuck. I'm just wondering what I can do for seasoning or making things taste better.
I'm also interested in what people with other dietary restrictions do to cook around them. So if you have stories about that I'd like to hear them.

Allergic to dairy. There are vegan products that do a good job as replacements.

I get terrible acid heartburn all the time. Probably because I eat all those things you mentioned in massive amounts and have no plans to stop. I keep antacids handy all over my flat and in all my coat pockets and just eat half of one whenever I feel the acid.
I thought I was lactose intolerant once (turns out it was just from eating a LOT of bad yoghurt). I switched to coconut milk and it wasn't bad at all. I still use coconut milk instead of dairy sometimes out of preference. It's great in porridge. Pretty good in pancakes as well.
