So the one reason to go to Arkansas is to drive through a town named "Flippin," where everything sounds like a euphemism. Flippin Fire Dept. Flippin School. Flippin Police. Etc.

While that does sound charming, I don't know that justifies a trip to Arkansas

Reducing Fire Hazards: The Importance of Regular Hood Degreasing and Maintenance

Fire safety is a critical concern in any kitchen, especially in busy commercial settings. One of the best ways to minimize fire risks is through consistent kitchen exhaust hood cleaning and degreasing. Regular maintenance of the exhaust hood system removes built-up grease and contaminants, significantly reducing the chances of ignition and ensuring a safer workspace for everyone.

Why Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning is Essential for Fire Safety

In a bustling kitchen, the exhaust hood and ventilation system work constantly to filter out grease, smoke, and odors. Over time, grease can build up inside the hood, ducts, and filters, creating a potential fire hazard. Regular hood degreasing and kitchen exhaust cleaning help prevent this accumulation, keeping the system operating efficiently and safely. This maintenance is a vital part of any fire prevention strategy, especially for commercial kitchens.

The Importance of Regular Degreasing and Maintenance

Routine kitchen exhaust hood maintenance provides several advantages beyond just fire safety. It can extend the lifespan of your exhaust system and improve air quality within the kitchen. Here are some key reasons to prioritize regular hood cleaning and degreasing:

Minimized Fire Risks: Removing grease buildup reduces the chance of fires starting within the exhaust system.

Enhanced Airflow: A clean exhaust system allows for better ventilation, improving comfort for kitchen staff.

Energy Efficiency: Clean exhaust hoods operate more effectively, potentially reducing energy costs for your business.

Professional Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning Services

While some kitchen staff may try to handle cleaning themselves, hiring professional kitchen exhaust cleaning services ensures a more thorough and effective job. These experts have the tools and experience to clean every part of the exhaust system, including areas where grease tends to accumulate. This not only helps you comply with local fire codes but also gives you peace of mind, knowing your kitchen is safe.

Professional services can create a cleaning schedule tailored to your kitchen’s needs, whether it’s weekly, monthly, or quarterly maintenance. They also provide documentation of each cleaning, which is crucial for meeting regulatory requirements and maintaining insurance coverage.

Signs That Your Kitchen Exhaust Hood Needs Cleaning

Recognizing when your kitchen exhaust hood needs cleaning is vital for maintaining a safe kitchen. Here are some signs that it’s time to schedule a professional cleaning:

Visible grease or residue on the hood or filters

Smoke lingering in the kitchen longer than usual

Unusual noises or reduced airflow from the exhaust fan

Challenges in passing fire safety inspections

Addressing these signs quickly with thorough kitchen hood cleaning can prevent more serious issues and help keep your kitchen safe.

Protect Your Kitchen with Regular Exhaust Hood Cleaning

Routine kitchen exhaust hood cleaning and degreasing are essential for reducing fire hazards and ensuring the safety of your kitchen. By investing in professional cleaning services and maintaining a consistent schedule, you can protect your kitchen from fire risks, improve air quality, and keep your exhaust system functioning smoothly. Prioritizing regular cleaning not only ensures compliance with fire safety regulations but also creates a safer and more efficient kitchen for your staff and customers.

Hi! 18 and 20 for the end of year asks <333

hello friend! <333

18. A memorable meal this year? okay great question. so I was in Maine earlier this year and I went to fore street for a special occasion....this fucking restaurant. we opened with a summer salad, essentially radicchio, mixed greens strawberries, some sort of nuts, and some sort of cheese, and you can essentially get this salad anywhere but this is the best rendition of it I have EVER had, the radicchio was zingy, the lettuce was so tender, the strawberries were so good I thought they might had been macerated in sugar. and then to follow that we had smoked squid with cherry tomatoes and a pesto, and it was insanely good, it was genuinely fucked up how good it was. The squid was both part of the mantle and the tentacles and the mantle was so tender and chewy that it almost tasted like savory linguine. I had some roast chicken for my entree but the salad and squid really defined the meal for me. I also went to a restaurant here earlier this year, for valentine's day, and had face melting transcendent baba ganoush with house made gluten free crackers.....i was like wow so THIS is eggplant huh? incredible. like my entree for that meal was this amazing braised stew with pistachos and rose water that came beautifully prepared but the baba ganoush was the stand out. decedent, gorgeous, I want to go back so badly.

20. What’s something you learned this year? i learned a lot about US foreign policy during the aughts! I got better at conflict! I used to find it high stakes and thus to be avoided at all costs and now I just see it as a part of life! I also learned how to do knitted cables and how to waltz

thank you <333 have a good 2025!!!

[i-still-mask-because]

I still mask because I can't avert my eyes from the obvious signs that it has never gone away since 2020. Like, I'm often not even good at noticing subtlety IRL, but these signs are not hard to find. People are in denial.

AND I still avoid eating in restaurants because eating is the one thing you have to take off your mask for, and I am not doing that in some indoor and enclosed environment where hundreds if not thousands of people have been unmasked that day alone.

Also just... thank you so much for making this blog ^^;;

Not having soap in your restroom should be a health code violation.

Not having working sinks in a restaurant should be a health code violation.

If you cannot wash your hands in a food establishment, you should not be serving food.

i know all the recent recalls seem weird like they're everyday, but you gotta take people being off track and lack of training at best and people just not giving a shit at worst. there are companies providing next to no time to actually train employees because it's make money serve customers or make the thing as fast as possible no matter what with no room for the time for "silly regulations" and employees who are NOT trainers being told or expected to train new employees, which does not happen and if it does it's on the fly and doesn't always go well. next thing you know this company isn't doing things properly and their product is recalled for listeria. that company is a shit show on wheels and their product is recalled for salmonella. the next company has workers who aren't paid enough and don't care, the next one has workers that weren't trained correctly if at all, the next company is understaffed to hell and back, the next company has management on site that has never heard of a serve safe certification in their life, some times people aren't mentally present, it's not like we just came back off the heels of a global event that took many lives someone was family to or anything. did we forget about the housing crisis all the sudden? employee mental state matters too. some companies are figuring that out the hard way. the government isn't "recalling all the meat" or some shit for some agenda. some times the work places producing it are just a shit show because money is being put over safety by those at the top.

there's no one to properly train because companies do not want to pay for it. firing employees who need raises or refuse to cut corners, or for other stupid reasons like being late every now and again, (surprise, people have kids or family emergencies or are just stuck in traffic. shit happens beyond their control.) was a problem before, but now that corporate (insert company here) is trying to regain the horrendous amount of control they never should have had that slipped away from them in the pandemic when everyone had money from another source and competing with other companies these are the ingredients for a mess, we're just finally feeling the effects of it. of course there are recalls. look at your own work place, we know this is a problem, why are people surprised when the regulations that are supposed to prevent this from happening aren't followed and somehow shockingly it ends up in the thing those regulations were put in place to avoid?

After recent TikTok posts about mandolins and their dangers, I really want an episode (or even just a scene) in 911 season 8 where Clipboard Buck gets obsessed with giving everyone chain mail gloves for their mandolin usage.

Probably after one too many TikTok cucumber salad inspired mandolin calls where they have to find the finger.

Chimney doesn’t even own a mandolin and Buck’s like, “my niece lives there, you need a chainmail glove!”

Understanding Ventilation Power: Selecting the Ideal CFM for Your Kitchen Exhaust Hood Installation

When it comes to kitchen exhaust hood installation, one of the most crucial factors to consider is the ventilation power, measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). Choosing the right CFM ensures your kitchen remains free from smoke, grease, and odors, providing a safe and comfortable environment. This guide will help you understand how to select the appropriate CFM for your kitchen exhaust hood, enhancing both functionality and compliance with safety standards.

Why CFM Matters in Kitchen Exhaust Hood Installation

CFM, or cubic feet per minute, measures the volume of air a hood can exhaust in one minute. The right CFM is essential for effective ventilation, determining how quickly and efficiently smoke, steam, and grease are removed from your kitchen. An inadequate CFM can lead to poor air quality and increased fire hazards, while an excessively high CFM can be unnecessarily noisy and energy-consuming.

Calculating the Right CFM for Your Kitchen

The size of your cooking area and the type of cooking you do significantly impact the CFM requirements. For standard cooking ranges, a basic rule of thumb is 100 CFM per linear foot of cooktop. For example, a 30-inch range would need a hood with at least 250 CFM. For more intensive cooking methods, such as grilling or frying, you may need a higher CFM to ensure adequate ventilation.

Factors Influencing CFM Requirements

Several factors influence the CFM requirements for your kitchen exhaust hood installation:

Cooking Style: Heavy cooking styles like frying or grilling produce more smoke and grease, requiring higher CFM.

Kitchen Size: Larger kitchens may need more powerful hoods to ensure complete ventilation.

Ductwork Length: Longer duct runs can reduce efficiency, necessitating higher CFM to maintain performance.

Hood System Installation

Proper hood system installation is key to maximizing the effectiveness of your kitchen exhaust hood. Professional installation ensures your hood is correctly positioned and ducted, optimizing airflow and ventilation. Experts can assess your specific kitchen layout and recommend the best system and CFM for your needs, ensuring safety and compliance with local regulations.

Benefits of Choosing the Right CFM

Selecting the appropriate CFM for your kitchen exhaust hood offers several benefits:

Improved Air Quality: Efficient ventilation removes contaminants, keeping the air fresh and clean.

Enhanced Safety: Proper ventilation reduces the risk of grease fires and improves overall kitchen safety.

Energy Efficiency: Choosing the right CFM ensures your hood operates efficiently, saving on energy costs.

Noise Reduction: An appropriately powered hood operates more quietly, creating a more pleasant cooking environment.
