This post kinda sucks,

but it's been a month since i've really written anything



Cooks are NOT front of house material, just fyi

Cooks choose to live the life of an underpaid skilled labourer because that is all that they can ever hope to accomplish without going into construction. Cooks can have coke problems, cooks can be complete morons who bitch about nothing, cooks can be unapproachable or grumpy, and cooks can get away with this because when it comes down to it- cooks are the definition of a sketchpad.


Definition: Sketchpad
-Noun
1. An ill-tempered and unpredictable individual
2. A societal reject

Professional cooks, as a rule are very ridiculous: last summer at the golf course we went through 3 Sou Chefs and evetually they just gave up on hiring them for that year.

The difference between front of house and back of house staff is that back of house can get away with perpetual mood swings and an overall shitty attitude. Front of house can’t get away with those things, they can have a shitty attitude but they can’t really express it to the same degree as a cook.


The Sou chef who is now doing easily the most horrid looking server I’ve seen to date (except for Denny’s servers at 4:00 am, but then again does anyone look good at 4:00 am? … well if there are people who look good at 4:00 am it sure as hell isn’t the Denny’s staff nor is it this girl.) anyway our Sou imagines himself running off with this girl and becoming a bartender at the exec inn.

Between his pan throwing, his cursing out staff, making servers cry and his overall terrible attitude I think he’d be an overall very approachable bartender… yeah.



i apologize for this post.

  • I like to think I'm a fairly sane cook. But I still fit in with all the coke heads and rejects at work.
