Isn't Trey the man you should be asking about FFE stock ? LOL I remember him keeping up with it daily at the Academy. Including 5 minutes after his road test. GOOD TIMES.![]()

Top Chef Truckers ...hmmm watch out Ice Road truckersakdennnis said: ↑Culinary school grad, huh? Oh, it's on now boy! We'll have our very own reality tv based competition. We'll call it "Top Chef Truckers". Yeah, that's the ticket! Or we can do a food network show about how to cook on the road. We do recipes like "Manifold Manicotti" where you cook by taping the entre' to the engine exhaust manifold. Or how about "Engine Cowl Seared Steak au Poivre"... but that technique only works in the desert...or Texas in July.
I'm old school. I did an apprenticeship with the ACA. I don't miss it for one minute. The profession is stressful, thankless, greasy, hot, smelly, dirty, long hours, and chefs tend to die young. Hold on a tick. It just dawned on me that this is the way a lot of disgruntled truckers describe trucking! What are we getting ourselves into?!
And speaking of "disgruntled", have you ever heard anyone say that they were feeling "gruntled"? How can someone be "disgruntled" without first being "gruntled"? It's these deep questions about the universe that keep me awake at night.Click to expand...
I like that idea hahaha.....yea i went the the French Culinary Institute in NYC as my culinary career went on i realized as you did that no it was not something i wanted to do for the rest of my life i love to cook for my wife and i but not in a restaurant.
Which came first, the chicken or the egg??

That's usually where my flaming fat bombs...er, hamburgers land when I start flinging them...mmm, serving them from the conflagration...uh, hot grill that inevitably happens whenever I cook.THE PLAYMAKER said: ↑chad you have a front row seat in front of the grill. i guess you would be the guest of honor. after all you did bring this team of new FFE drivers together!!!

THE PLAYMAKER Thanks this. -
Yeah, it's actually fun and rewarding to cook for friends and family. Cooking professionally is more akin to self mutilation. Or, in my case, self immolation. My wife is also quite good in the kitchen but baking is more her thing. Good, because I hate baking.lionheart0901 said: ↑Top Chef Truckers ...hmmm watch out Ice Road truckers

The old chicken and egg question, hmm? The French have trouble understanding why we Americans have so much difficulty in correctly answering this fundamental question of existence. The chicken and the egg arrived simultaneously. The French decided (I'm French-American btw) that life was simply not worth living without either the omelette or coq-au-vin. So they demanded that God provide both eggs for omelettes and chicken for coq-au-vin tout de suite. And since the French are usually correct in matters of gastronomy I'll go along with their answer. And did I mention that I'm French-American?Last edited: Oct 23, 2011

FFE stock 1.76 up 2.04% on Fridays closing. Been out here on this run for a month and a half now. The miles are consistent around 5400 to 5700 a week, but there was that week of 6200. Truck still running great. By the way Dennis we have surround sound for the TV now. Gearing up for the winter runs now. I should be around the Academy next week so whoever is cooking I like my steak medium rare.

Anyone who wants a good steak past med rare should stick with hamburger...or beef jerky...because that's what an overcooked steak is.
Have they firmed up your training dates yet? I mean, when are you going through trainer training?
And I shant respond to your rooster quip. 'Tis beneath my dignity, as well as the overall lucid and erudite tone of reparté common to this stimulating and highly intellectual forum, wot wot? -
