I thought that was the most pristine caul fat at first glance.
And on second thought, try using it as caul fat.

Incorrect, sir; this is a dream catcher and not a kitchen towel.

There's nothing like grinding out meals for $10/hour while watching the waitresses make $20 tips on them all.

The most literal cheesecloth ever. A brick of cheese will not fit through (if ignoring just ripping through that wispy ass line cook wedding veil)

It belongs in a museum of modern art at this point. Hang alone on a cement wall, call it "Kitchen #3" and auction it off for $2.7 million.

Is this the Towel of Turin? I think if you look closely enough you can see St. Bourdains outline

Feel like the guy at the linen company was grinning ear to ear when he put that in the bundle to be sent out

It’s the napkin for the garbage can table you set for yourself for your staffy. Maybe a nice bubbly water with a couple dashes of bitters and a cherry to up the fancy

That should be preserved in resin, a testament to the fact that hard work and ill use often leaves you a broken relic.

I think I remember this towel, it would have been 2006 Lakeland FL. She had some more thread on her back then. But not much, she was always a frail lass

This is very obviously cheese cloth that has been sent through the laundromat by mistake. Stunned to see so many people in this sub not recognising it

I sometimes wonder how the hell some of the more degraded of my bar rags stay in circulation. There are always a bunch that have huge holes or leave behind a ton of little fuzzy bits when you wipe stuff.
This one is on a whole different level. You should put it in a frame and hang it on the wall.

I don't know. I feel more like that used to be a towel. Then again, who can afford to retire in this industry.

That's a good cobweb for Halloween or freaking out the health inspector as a prank.

Pretty sure that was what Jesus was wearing when they crucified him... Very holy, no pun intended.

u/Sad_Bumblebee_6896 1d ago
My former chef would call any towel with holes the Sunday towel. Since it was the holy day. This towel is so far past being a Sunday towel and is an Easter only towel now. Cause Easter is the holiest day of them all

Normally they look like a tattered cobweb but this looks like a bride’s veil

Shitty towels grind my gears so much I just tear them up and throw them in the sack. They want "every" rag returned, so when they send me a shitty towel, I send back a shittier towel. Don't want to wind up processing a piece of trash? Don't send me trash

One time at this bakery I was working at, I reached into our bag of kitchen towels we kept in a closet and pulled out a fucking sock. It was a brand new bag too.

That's the type of towel that only shows up when you're already having the worst shift of your life

The coveted kitchen lace, you wet it and pop it in the freezer for a bit, then wear it on your head like the fancy kitchen bride that you are. Straight up elegance.
