$35 Donut!

[Daviso27]

As some of you may know, I am a Chef at a 4star/4diamond hotel/resort...We had a VIP call our room service wanting a donut, not a dozen, not 6, not 2, but 1....1 f#%%&% donut...(We have a nominal delivery charge, and a 20% gratuity fee, 7% tax and then you are billed what ever you order) After everything was said and ordered, the donut cost $35!!! The reason for this is that we cannot sell 1 donut, we sell 6 or 12...there is no "1 donut" button!!! So i took it upon my self and make it a $35 donut!

A little fruit garnish, some rasberry-port reduction....there you go!

Nice looking stuff. My wife just got a job as the Pastry Chef for Lucca Cafe in Irvine.

She's not used to working everyday, so she's just getting used to it.

Ye're bloody brilliant, mate. I'm studying culinary arts actually and this gives me some good ideas.

P.S. I just watched "No Reservations" today too for the 1st time.

Great Job on the presentation. I went to school for culinary arts. Do to the lack of money and some politics that were going on at the school, I decided to move on and get a job. To this day I still think it was the biggest missed opportunities of my life. I can't say it was a mistake. I can say that I have learned a in those years after that. One of these days I would like to go back. I absolutely love to cook for others.

Wow thats cool, I'm another thats a Culinary School Grad. Actually got a new job, and I'll be working for Jimmy Sneed at a Hotel. Not too big on pastries though, I'm a line cook.

Looks tasty! I'd order one, but just not for $35.. maybe a dozen for that price.

Im all about the hot line also, but we have to be well-rounded...The donuts are ordered from a local bakery, all i did was the plate presentation...I'll post up some different things Ive done later on...Maybe start a "Daviso's Smoke Kitchen" tread!

I'm thinkin he ordered the $35 donut because he could. Remember all the crazy bets you ever had with the boys and when you were challenged to do something you'd order a $35 donut, hot dog, etc etc?
