A line cook at a diner in Boise told me to stop "fixing" my sauces and now my plates come back clean
Last Tuesday I was drowning in tickets at this 40 seat diner in Boise and every plate kept coming back with half eaten sauce on the rim. The guy on the flat top looked at my pan and said "you keep adding stuff because you're scared, just taste it and stop." I cut my sauce down from 9 ingredients to 4 that night, so what did you learn the hard way from someone who barely looked up from their station?
