Both of my baby bassets are off from school this week, so they are enjoying some video game time. My oldest showed me a beautiful garden that he was working on in his Minecraft game. Pretty awesome! Very creative. He also showed me a few animals that he had. Cool Cool. Umm… we have a backyard with plenty of room for more plants and such. I told him he is more than welcome to maybe do a little real life planning and planting. He looked at me like I was crazy. I decided not to mention the fact that we had real animals he could play with as well. Maybe take for a walk. I felt I would be met with the same enthusiasm as the gardening idea.

Blood Bones and Blisters: A culinary rant
by Tristan B. Jones
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs | Travel | Cookbooks, Food & Wine
FREE for a limited time
Chefs, Cooks, Kitchen Rats everywhere, this is for you.
I wrote this book for cooks. For the younger crowd just starting in the industry you can learn some valuable lessons from my experience. For the older folks that have been in this stress riddled drug soaked mad house for a while, I think you’ll get a few laughs.
The first half is an abbreviated version of my story in kitchens around the world followed by some assorted thoughts on our industry and modern F&B culture. I have made a lot of mistakes and done numerous things that many will call questionable, but I didn’t sugar coat it. This isn’t me trying to tell you what I have done is right. This rant contains both the good and the bad. I have held chef positions on three continents and I have built up more than my fair share of opinions along the way.
Travel, drugs, danger, foul language, and all levels of cuisine permeate the pages of my story in hospitality.
Restaurant kitchens will always be my home. If you feel the same or are trying to figure out whether they should be yours as well, I think you might enjoy this.Topics like things to look for as a chef hired to start a new restaurant, how to deal with the modern customer, regulations, foodies, the next generation of cooks, and more are covered in my own, abrasive style.
