Papapoopski needs therapy and food

[riser4]

Happy Thanksgiving. I was supposed to bake a pie tonight but it's late and the oven door fell apart in my son's hands today. Tomorrow I have to rig it together somehow and bake the pie and then roast a turkey breast. Peace.

[Meadow Skipper]

I laughed, I cried...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

[bennymac]

I love all the stories. But I’m glad we got a bit more about the waitresses and how they treated you when you were a teenager

Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

[Core Shot]

From my shithole to yours, I wish all of you the best.

That should be your signature

Happy T day.

Wishing and hoping I could eat your cooking someday.

I guess in the powder panic of a thanksgiving storm i missed your last handful of awesome posts, pappap. moar please?

[papapoopski]

I'll get back to it soon. I've been writing most days but it's usually for me. I save all of it but fucking hell some of it is just weird as hell and wouldn't make sense to anyone. I appreciate the encouragement.

I have been taking baby steps at moving forward with finding some justice. It's not so clear to me on how to go about doing this.

[BmillsSkier]

Thanks again PPS, and happy holidays to you as well.

I wonder if you’ve cooked with some of my old friends who were invited to cook at the Beard House. They hailed from Charleston, Cincinnati and Cleveland. Some were great, others, their crews were, and continue to be, great. You could have seen the difference between the two a mile away I’m sure.

Just chiming in to say keep it up P! Don't do it for us though (it does make for enthralling reading of course), do it for you.

[BmillsSkier]

Hope you're well out there Papapoopski.

Chime in when you can.

[stealurface831]

we miss you.

Ditto

[Danno]

I miss papapoopski. Hope he is doing ok.

[BmillsSkier]

Same here, I actually thought about this thread on "Bourdain Day" last week and hope he's getting the peace he needs.

[Core Shot]

He’s probably working his ass off since no one else wants to. And all the city folks want good food in the country while they “work” from home

So many restaurants here closed one or two days just to give the limited staff a rest.

No one will believe this, but I saw a car with an Arizona "Poopski" vanity plate on the freeway a few weeks ago. They got away before I could get a picture. Made me think of this thread, hope OP is doing good.

[skaredshtles]

I, too, miss Papa.

Same. I just read Kitchen Confidential again and thought about PPS.

[Timberridge]

He was like a literary supernova.

I believe you Dan.

Echoing similar sentiments towards our chef!

There's probably a lot of truth to this for PPS.



We eat out a fair amount and I've made a point to be extra gracious to the industry folks who have been through the wringer this last year, but damn if the labor shortage isn't fucking each and every restaurant we frequent.

Toss crazy food price increases in there and it's just salt on an open wound.

just found this thread and it brings back a lot of memories working as a bartender at a cuntry club. Great job, lots of learning from the chef, next time I'm back east I need to go pay him a visit in RI.
