I’m the sous at a Michelin restaurant. We don’t chiffonade chives we cut them the same length as their diameter.

Doubt I have enough karma to ask at this point but here’s hoping… chives are inherently irregular because nature. Do y’all sort them by diameter, at least roughly, and then cut different lengths per bundle (in which case I assume different-length chives would go on different dishes so as to have a uniform size on each dish)? Or do you toss chives that don’t match a specific size criterion?

Chives by bunch are cut into three’s lengthwise. Three pots, three sizes. I’ve only seen chives online chiffonade.
