i told 'em if you really want to see where we're developing best practices and get involved, this is the place. because i figure the best way to talk to people is not to talk around them. i think we should have inspectors around here and i wanna make a case. in Maricopa County AZ we have a pretty good working relationship with our inspectors. they are not only professional, they got these optical thermometers and they can tell temps just by looking and at least two of them ain't bad looking either. I don't mind getting inspected by at least two of the Maricopa County inspectors but my wife does. My wife seems to have an aversion to me taking off my clothes for any woman but her. I still haven't got up the guts to tell her i was born naked. she seemed to handle the kids being born naked ok but i'm a different story in her book.
anyways, i invited the inspectors. i invited them to inspectify us. because if this is a restaurant professional's forum, the inspectifiers are professionals too. and i know it's a moral offense to tell any chef how to run his kitchen but here's where science meets food service. the threats we deal with are bacteriological or viral or fungal pertty much. so as science evolves, we have to as well.
yup, there's something of a scientist, a chemist in every good cook. there's something we do that's an intersection of science and chemistry and something way organic because science doesn't make people go "yum" or make kids run up to you or dogs lick you or cats trust you. everybody loves the hot dog man. i call it alchemy for lack of a better word.
so in bringing in the inspectifiers, we might hope to reduce this thing into a formula. many have tried. nobody can express us in numbers yet because we have something all people want. and it's not just hot dogs. it's science and that other thing, the secret word. the word we sling with every dog but never explicitly say.
it's the word that rhymes with "glove" or "dove". but that word can easily be expressed by saying "shut up and eat your hot dog".
anyways i told the inspectors this is where we hang out so maybe that will be a benefit or i just screwed you guys over royally.
