I've considered getting Mise en place tattoo'd on my wrist but I already have a salumi-style primal cuts of pig tattoo on my shoulder and think it might be going overboard.

I've been busy. XP
My nights are being sucked up quite a bit, and will be until mid May. I'm in a vocal competition and I've been practicing about 5 nights a week.


How's this for catching up: If you go to Mikey's facebook page, he's wearing Dan Zettwoch's 'Grilled Cheese':

well good luck in that. jaden.


p.s. that's the shirt he wore while cleaning up the restaurant in the cutting block.

I'd buy it if my name were "Mack".

oh wow, talking about woot power

Awesome shirt. I don't watch TV so I don't know who the chef is but thanks!! The second I saw the shirt I knew I had to have it!! When I was in chef school wrote a song about my knives
I think I am now officially addicted to woot!

Well, as a chef-in-training, I love this shirt. Thanks, Woot!

Absent the explanation by TCRUEY........ this would be a stupid shirt.......

........and still, 99.9% of people will never get it and never understand......

so, why..........???

I really like this shirt... but as I'm not a chef (or that I even cook much) - I'd prefer another option with the knife stuck into the chest.

Yeah... that one would be perfect for me.

I've been in a mood.

No silly! Apparently while you were gone you forgot that derby shirts only run Friday through Sunday.

They come runnin just as fast as they can
Coz every girl crazy bout a sharp dressed man!

Regarding cooking, I would love a shirt with a microwave oven on it, and a phrase that translates to "Everything in Here."

Great product description this morning!

Carry on.

slowjam wrote:So wait, it's a cooking joke shirt?

guys its just a french cooking phrase that means to be organized when youre cooking.

its not about murder

its not a "joke"

but it is a shirt with a knife on it. so im in for 1.

Mise en Place is a term Cooks use to prepare before cooking or bakeing by premeasuring and cutting all ingrediants.

Basically you "put everything in its place" before starting to cook.

Youll see chiefs on TV that have the little bowls with all of the ingrediants in them so they just throw them together.

good point. any cooks out there? if we foodies buy the shirt, is it a show of support? or are we poser personal heroes?

ChefRAZ wrote:thank you. if you want chef stuff http://shop.cafepress.com/chef

Hey! Gimme a break, its my first shirt! I don't see your shirt up there!!! so HA!

my opinion is that regardless of your profession, mise also refers to balance in your life. its like a 5 second mantra i tell myself when ive got cooks yelling at me in spanish, tickets overflowing and pots boiling, or when my bf is yelling at me

I'd like to see someone in this shirt next to someone in the Mon Petit Chou shirt.

Can't you just see a murder scenario play out with these shirts?

Hahaha, this is the best possible reason to buy this shirt. Especially with the contrast between pink and black shirt colors.

You're use of "it's" as a possessive pronoun make's me cra'zy.

Congrats on your print Mikey I'm not a fan of sharp objects or a chef so the shirt's not for me. But clearly, you've made several chefs, cooks, etc happy today :D

This shirt was MADE for my lil' sis... she's at the CIA, is in love with her knife set, is endlessly brutal and would wear a knife proudly, and she's always yelling at me when I'm in the kitchen making a godawful mess.

Mise en Place Emily!! Why are you putting the onion on the counter!!!??! and what the hell is the rice bag doing on the floor!?

okay so that last part was a joke...... really.....

Somebody needs to send one of these to Anthony Bourdain. It would be perfect for when he's in some third-world country eating raw intestines out of a live pig.

Nah... surely Tony would request them grilled first.


Coincidentally, is that a new thing - keeping the pig alive while you disembowel it? L O L

It's amazing how people will just walk into
a tattoo shop and assume all artist are able
to actually tattoo. In this day and age, where tattooing is being done by people that can't even draw, and on the other side of the coin
there are artists that are changing the way
tattoos can be done.

I see new tattoos that are just TERRIBLE. I don't understand why people even try to find a good DEAL on tattoos
Cheap tattoos aren't good and good tattoos aren't cheap.

amazing.

Seems very fitting that the tip of the knife is pointing approximately at the heart.

You specifically get dressed for one room of the house? Do you change clothes every time you move from room to room?

I have so many black t-shirts, that one has to be pretty spectacular for me to actually purchase it. This one just doesn't quite meet that level of epic awesomeness needed.

If it said something like, "Please stop looking at the knife on my chest, it's not real and cannot hurt you." *Then in even smaller text* "The one in my back pocket however...'

Womp-womp...

In for one.
Big time food nerd right here and that statement has helped me out more than I could have thought. Specifically when I'm the only cook for 25+ people.

It's not about murder or violence, it's about cooking. Some people will get it, some won't.
Just don't think it's about hurting other people.

It would be murder if you attacked the Mon Petit Chou wearer... I mean, could you imagine the horror of chopping up the little mustache-wearing cabbage for use in your most flavorful stir fry.

mmmm Chinese sounds so good... even at 10:30am

"Its," not "It's." Check that grammar, Woot...

LMAO!!! I wanted this shirt the second I saw it...being in love with cuisine, and knowing many chefs in my area, I can't wait to wear it to the next "Taste of Kalamazoo" this summer

Kudos to Mikey Torres on a unique and quirky sense of humor (which we always can use more of on w00t!)!!

Here's a kind request!
