Food. Sexy, Delicious Food.

  1. Haha, Chicken Supreme is just a chicken breast with the wing bone still attached. It just looks nicer than your average boneless skinless variety.

    I work in a locally owned and run steak-house. We do a lot of steak and seafood, as well as some classics, like meatloaf, roast turkey, etc for the older folks. The restaurant was established in 1947 so we get a lot of old timers coming out for dinner. It's all high-end food that we make from scratch.

  2. Ahhh, that clears some things up :p

    "I work in a locally owned and run steak-house. We do a lot of steak"


    Hehe, sorry, I had to get that out of my system :D But seriously that sounds awesome. Did you go to a culinary arts program or did you learn on your own through trial and error?
  3. Haha, yeah, maybe that was a bit redundant. I have not taken a culinary program, I've just been working in kitchens for about 6 years now.
  4. Well fancy OuO Various ones or the same one as now? XD
  5. This is the 3rd kitchen I've worked in. The first was a small college cafeteria where we fed 60 people max in the cafeteria, but we also had a banquet hall that could seat 300 so we could cater weddings and receptions and whatnot.

    The second kitchen I worked in was another cafeteria, but this time for a very large university (Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario) where we fed 1000+ people every day.

    I was getting sick of the large scale food production style cooking of the cafeteria, so I moved on to restaurant work, and I doubt I will look back. The fast pace, adrenaline filled work environment of working a restaurant line can't be beat. I do however miss working the banquets. I always had fun with those, even though some of those days were 15 hours long. :eek:
  6. Ditto

    Hey, that's my saying!

    Lol
  7. 60 max a day or spread out in a week? OoO

    O.O That.. is a little much. The pressure would be intense right!? And also, yer Canadian or did you go there to work?

    I would imagine, though adrenaline everyday is a bit much... Are there many slow days or is it generally consistent? (I know slow days are on of the worst things possible, but I am curious XD)
  8. 60 per day, but a lot of them went home on the weekends so they were slower.

    It can be a bit much, haha. But yeah, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday are generally slower days. Wednesday, Thursday are a bit better but the weekends are the busiest.

    And yes, the really slow days drag on for sooooo looooonnnng. Those days we generally just clean the kitchen.
  9. I see XD Huh. With a college, you would think it would be busier :confused: This statement applies to both of those comments :p

    One would imagine, since you get so used to the fast pace. And that, in my opinion, is the worst part of any job. Cleaning, while necessary, sucks.
