Ok, so I work at a Wendys one day a week. I just got off shift, and we close at 1am. At 12am I put a whole bunch of patties down on the grill, so I could start cleaning it by 12:30, and be done by 1am. That way I can walk out the door.

Well…usually we have a rush at 12:40-12:59. Except tonight we didn’t.

At 1am, I still had 15 big patties, and 15 junior patties. We’re supposed to chop them up into chilli meat, but I said fuck that. This massive billionaire corporation won’t even let us take home the food we’re going to throw out anyways. So I said fuck them, and took roughly 30 patties that they weren’t going to throw out.

Now I’m at home with a dilemma. I’m not going to eat 30 patties in a week. So I put the small patties in 2 ziplock bags, and the big patties into 2 other ziplock bags. I put them in the fridge, but I’m wondering. Should I just put 3 of those bags in the freezer, and leave 1 in the fridge to eat throughout the week? Will the freezer bags have any issues? The meat is already cooked. I’d essentially just need to take out a bag, put it in the fridge, and by the next day I could put it in the microwave for a minute.

Is there any issue with doing that?

    yea, you can freeze it. i’d do something like 2 big or 4 juniors per sandwich bag, then put those bags into a couple larger gallon size bags. pull out one of the small bags at a time to thaw in the fridge.

    back in the before times, when i could afford beef, i’d do 3-5 lbs at a time that way. now i just get 'em every now and then from my boss when they cook a few extra on the grill and she brings me a couple (home raised, the very good stuff). and yea, they’re often frozen when i get 'em from her, too.

    i do always make sure i get the cooked frozen beef back up to temp.

      Ok everybody, idea time. Why don’t we all do like a gofundme kinda thing for this guy? We could all chip in like $5. The lemmy has like 60k people on it…and if we all chipped in $5…

      Hey, new idea, let’s do a gofundme for me! 60k people? $5 each? Don’t worry Adarza, I’m gonna buy you some beef! And then myself a house.

        I’ll smoke you all the beef you want if i get to eat it too, Mr GiveSendGo scammer. I just want a nice plate of short ribs (I used to know the rib numbers and shit like the exact plate you ask the butcher for but the damn grocery chain fired the deli and butcher when they unionized.
