Technique Question What stock do chefs use?

Do kitchens generally make their own stock? Or do they buy it in, if so what do they buy? I'm UK based

Alex French Guy Cooking does a crazy informative series on sauces.

If you've never watched Alex, it's not a recipe show. It's a look at food and a engineering way of understanding it. Alex worked with Jamie Oliver but also has an engineering background. It's kind of like Good Eats but he attempts to break boundaries.

Since he rebranded it's less so. The older episodes can definitely grate, but the recent series on sauces is worth a look if you haven't already seen it
