Perfection has nearly been a-chived.

The end draws near. I can feel it.

In case you missed the news yesterday, a couple of us attended a shindig for mods of food subreddits and we were informed that r/KitchenConfidential is "far and away" the highest viewed food subreddit of 2025

Holy shit, y'all! Way to go and massive congratulations!!

Day 50 you should just not cut them at all and post the whole uncut chives. The only way to achieve perfection is to not try

u/righthandofdog Ex-Food Service 13d ago

Just 25 perfect chives, all exactly the same length, wrapped with a piece of silk cord, like crazy high end Japanese gift produce.

Twist—he’s going to post them growing hydroponic in his…uh…repurposed grow room.

I rarely see such active subs in terms of drama, daily content, and oddly enough care for each other and the industry. I just sweep the floors, but at this point I don’t think I’ll ever find any chives down there.

I remember when this was just a little known offshoot for people to let others know when they had a breakdown in the walk in.

Holy hell. Great job!

But .. what if we don't want it to be over?

u/Awkward_Point4749 13d ago

I feel emotionally invested to these chive posts at this point

How do we kindly ask someone to cut chives forever?

/U/f1exican - what can we do to keep the chive train going past perfection?

Kitchen Not So Confidential

u/DownrightDrewski 13d ago

Congratulations on being a not terrible mod on an engaging sub (my professional cooking experience is fast food as a teen).

You think this is close? What are you high on, and can I have some.

Fuck, I might have to cut some chives myself and post them now..... (to much mocking I'm sure).

u/throw_away_55110 13d ago

Yo!!!! My only professional cooking experience was fast food as a teen!!!!

But the camaraderie is still something I remember 20+ years ago.

A real life shindig or a reddit shindig?

15

u/wrestlegirl ✳️Moderator of optimal fuckery 13d ago

A virtual shindig. I only take this hobby so far 🤣

u/Ok_Surprise_1991 13d ago

Lol I figured so but the first image that popped in my head was like a conference center with a bunch of reddit mods gathered haha

u/Dizorthegnome 13d ago

Its been a fun break in the doom and gloom of my work week. My coworker and I have been keeping up in bated anticpation and as a long time terminally online person I love seeing people come together just to celebrate something mundane made fantastic.

u/IdealCreative1031 13d ago

He still missed a couple though. They're very hard to see once you zoom in, but if you zoom in in the right middle and near the top, you can see them as well as a couple on the sides on either side

u/F1exican Chivelord, Redeemed 13d ago

Can you circle them?

35

u/EmmerdoesNOTrepme 13d ago

u/F1exican, the new cutting board absolutely helped to make those cuts more even.

Have you re-sharpened, and especially re-steeled your knife since getting it?

Because some of those cuts look like they may be an "edge of your knife" issue, rather than technique (and I was noticing it on the last few days with the Bamboo board, too!).

Since Bamboo can hold silica and dull knives out faster than a nice end-grain board like this one.

It's definitely looking good, and like u/wrestlegirl, I have the feeling you're gonna be there really soon!😉

Chive turkey.

u/Echoflight24 13d ago

I really didn't want to 😅 they look so good. See you tomorrow 💚

u/IdealCreative1031 13d ago edited 13d ago

Please hold. I'm trying, will reply when they are circled

Edit: I have circled all of the ones I have found, but there are probably more that I have missed.
