629 Deficiencies in Restaurants
(Thank you friends for watching leisure, Mu Oro in the wind, Zijin Court, I don't want to be so shameless, Guangguang 123, professional is not professional, xiaojun2006, Jian Shao, mountain wind cracks, is this taste regardless of the monthly pass encouragement)
Today's people are enthusiastic, and Liu Heming is also tired enough.
To his surprise, the two most popular dishes turned out to be the pork and stir-fried ramen, instead of the usual truffle steak and pasta.
Alex's business is also very good, and a small pot and a small pot of stewed goose are also on the table one after another. The turnover is no less than his, and the guests know that the little one can't do it as fast as he does, and everyone can afford to wait.
Liu Heming finished the menu at hand, and Alex was still looking at the soup in a few small pots. This small pot stewed goose can also be said to be the signature dish of the little guy, and the current craftsmanship is not much worse than Liu Heming.
When he had free time, Liu Heming found a nail, ordered it outside the restaurant, and then hung up the small sign that Gary had sent.
In fact, he wanted to give some thanks to the Michelin Red Guide, which is a big recommendation for his restaurant.
And now he is also very confident that as the ranch and Xiangshui Town are built more and more perfectly, more and more people will come here to play.
At that point, the restaurant will not just be a small restaurant in the countryside, but a true Michelin-starred restaurant. As for whether it is one-star, two-star or three-star, he doesn't dare to guarantee it, the only thing he can guarantee is that the quality of the food in his restaurant will get better and better.
waved to the chefs who were busy in the restaurant, and called everyone out, including the waiters outside and the assistant chef in the back kitchen.
Then I talked to those reporters and asked them to take a family photo for everyone.
This is that Locke hasn't come back yet, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered them, and Locke would have been able to get all of these things done.
Guests don't mind, after all, it's really a joy that the restaurant has been recognized. Even if they are unrelated tourists, they are happy for Liu Heming.
Liu Heming hugged Alex, and Tang stood deeply beside him. This is the chef, and the location should be highlighted. Then all that was left was the rest of the chefs and waiters, and they stood in a big group.
The reporters are also very helpful, this is considered a help, and everyone is willing to help. Everyone helped take several shots, there are long shots and close shots, let Liu Heming choose slowly after the shooting.
"Gary, do you think there's anything else we need to improve in our restaurant? I really want to get stars next year. Isn't this inside information in the hall?" After taking the family photo, Liu Heming came to Gary's table and asked.
"Haha, Mr. Dexter, of course not. If you want to get stars, the most important thing is the quality of the dish, which can make people forget after eating. Gary smiled and shook his head.
"Actually, judging from the situation I have tasted now, I can already take a star, and there is no problem at all. But I'm not an unannounced group for tastings, they're real foodies. β
Liu Heming was a little puzzled, didn't they all say that Lao Mei likes to go straight, they also pay attention to politeness, just now I really thought that they would definitely meet the standard.
"In fact, the most important thing to improve in your restaurant right now is yourself. Gary continued.
"I, although I seem to be very casual when I cook, and sometimes I will fry several portions in one pot, but I can guarantee that each one tastes the best, and it tastes the same as stir-frying alone. Liu Heming hurriedly said.
"It's not that your food isn't tasty, it's like this pot meat, I eat it great. You know, in the past, I rarely ate pork. Gary said with a smile.
"The point is that you don't cook every meal in a restaurant, which already affects the quality of the restaurant's dishes. According to the information from the unannounced group, only six people have tasted your food, and the rest have not tasted it. β
Liu Heming is a little embarrassed, and the co-authorship problem is still on himself. But I really don't want to go around the stove every day at noon, I'm just a wild cook, and I'm only a part-time job here.
"Mr. Gary, is there anything else?" Liu Heming asked again.
"I don't know anything else, every member of the secret visit group will have their own assessment criteria that they think are key when they come to make an unannounced visit. They are all very picky people, and it is not easy for your restaurant to be directly rated by everyone as two red knives and forks. Gary smiled and shook his head.
"I'm very vocal on this point, and the waiters in my restaurant are recruited to provide the best service to the customers at the time of the sign. Liu Heming said with a smile.
"It's fair to say that I'm a little condescending on my side. If they are placed in the high-end restaurants of those big cities, they should be the most important place to stay. β
"Now my restaurant focuses on Chinese food, and there are many dishes that they have not been exposed to before, so they have to re-learn and strive to master all the ingredients, methods and tastes of each dish. β
Gary nodded, "I can see this completely, their quality can be fully reflected when serving everyone, maybe this is also a plus point given by the secret visit team." β
"Speaking of which, I do think of an area that needs to be improved. It's just that you have a smaller wine stock in this restaurant, and it's all some popular brand table wines. And if you want to be a high-end restaurant, you can't do it without some representative wines from well-known wineries. β
"Well, I also know that when it comes to drinks, it's our restaurant's weakness. Liu Heming said with a wry smile.
"The representative wines of those well-known wineries, even if we have the money, can't get them now. They have their own distributors, and they produce very little good wine every year, and they are almost all booked by collectors and restaurants all over the world. β
"The wines at ChΓ’teau Eagle are fantastic, but they won't be in stock for at least three years. I'll see if I can try my luck in wine-producing regions such as Bordeaux in France, Veneto in Italy, Andalucia in Spain, and Cape in South Africa. β
"My restaurant has always strived to improve the quality of its dishes and provide the best quality to everyone, and I will maintain this standard in terms of wine. So get some mid-range wines, which are not as good as these ordinary wines now. β
"Then you have to hurry, in fact, there are not many top-quality wines produced every year. Gary said with a smile.
"The quality of the wine depends on the vintage, and in recent years the weather has not been particularly good, and the various appellations have been affected. The supply of top wines is about 3% lower than it was five years ago. β
"And now there are more people who like to drink wine, and there are some beginner enthusiasts. They have also joined the wine tasting team, which has also increased the price of wine a lot over the years. β
"It doesn't matter, after a while I will be able to make my own beer and glutinous rice wine in my restaurant. Glutinous rice wine is a kind of sweet wine, and it can also be regarded as a drink with our Chinese characteristics. Liu Heming said with a grin.
"And if I can't buy enough good wines, I'll make them myself and supply them directly to my restaurant. In this way, I will not worry about red wine in the future, and I will not take it out. β
Regarding Liu Heming's "bold words", Gary did not say anything. The willfulness of the Chinese people is also well-known over the years, and there are now many Chinese winery owners in the Napa Valley of California and the Bordeaux region of France.
But when it comes to making top-notch wines, it's not that simple. Every winery needs to have a master winemaker, and the whole winemaking process is very complex.
If you can make top-quality wines at will, then everyone can open a winery, and the price of top-quality wines will not be so high.
He didn't talk to Gary for too long here, and if he talked for a long time, he delayed the meal. The small pot of goose meat that Alex had stewed had already been served, and the rest of the time had to be left for Gary to enjoy his meal.
However, Gary's words did remind him today, and it was urgent for the restaurant to get higher stars, work hard to improve Tang Shen's cooking skills, and equip them with high-end drinks.
It's not that he hasn't thought about buying his own winery to make wine before, but he still thinks that it can be put on for a long time. Now I haven't even made beer in my ranch, so I don't think I'm in a hurry.
Now the Michelin Red Guide has given itself such a powerful recognition, if your restaurant can't get a high star because of the drink, it's useless for you to slap your thigh.
Tang Shen can't guide their cooking skills by themselves, they are just wild cooks, and they still need to hone their own skills. But when it comes to red wine, you can really research it in advance.
Mead, glutinous rice wine, and now they are all very good at tinkering with themselves. Although the winemaking process is more complicated and more considered, it should not be too difficult to add attributes to your own farmer.
However, there is a premise for this, the grapes must be picked on the land to which they belong. You can't get grapes from someone else's vineyard that gets 30% better.
High-end red wines in high-end restaurants are also standard. Otherwise, no matter how high-end your restaurant is, there is no high-end red wine supply, and there is always something missing. After all, in today's wine culture, red wine has always represented elegance and high-end.
Taking advantage of Tang Shen's happiness with them, Liu Heming announced that he would give everyone more bonuses this month. But whether it is a chef or a waiter, you have to improve your business ability to prepare for the future star.
It seems that I still have to work hard, and the brewery also has to urge me to make my own beer as soon as possible. Then you have to quickly touch a vineyard, even if it's not very big, and you have to make wine.
