Fuck the chef!

If you're here as a visitor, welcome! I have no idea how you found this site.

As many of you may know, according to good manners when someone gives a toast "to the chef!", the chef cannot drink. You don't drink if the toast is to you. This is annoying so, we toast at the beginning of the meal by exclaiming, "Fuck the Chef!" I get to drink! Yay for me.

This is the dinner menu at our house. Since no one can give me suggestions of what they want, I made this website with most of the things I know how to cook well. When I ask the question, "What would you like for dinner?" I don't want to hear, "I don't know." You now have this site to figure it out. Yes, substitutions can be made. No, I'm not making latkes every week. Yes, I can make vegan things (I actually prefer it, but I cook for these meat-eaters). Also, please eat your vegetables.

My Apologies

We are fresh out of the following dishes:

  • I Don't Know
  • I don't Care
  • I'm Not Hungry
  • What Do You Want
  • Whatever

If you want something like these things, you need to find a chef who can read minds.

What the Fuck is a schedule?

It's what we're eating when, dahlink.

  • Monday: Rice/Beans/Pasta
  • Tuesday: Chicken
  • Wednesday: Poker Night
  • Thursday: Lighter Fare
  • Friday: Fish
  • Saturday: Leftovers/Date Night
  • Sunday: Family Dinner. The forecast: 90% chance of red meat.

Unless I change my mind, that is.

My default meal setting is bread, butter, and wine. Happy hour starts at noon.
