Friday night was my first night in a real restaurant kitchen and I LOVED it! As dorky as it may sound it was such a high! One minute there are a few tickets at the window and the next thing you know the window is full and there are tickets pouring in. It was insane.
The hardest part for me was figuring out where the tables were! I started to get it my second night but I still got confused. Luckily most people are nice so they didn't mind helping me. Both nights I worked with another girl but she is in Cancun next weekend so I am on my own and I am nervous! The last thing I want to do is deliver food to the wrong table. Chef does not like it when that happens.
Speaking of Chef, everyone said he was mean but I didn't think so. I think he has high standards and wants the best from his staff. If you have ever watched Hell's Kitchen, Chef stands at the pass and makes sure the food is good enough to go to the customer.
There is a lot of noise and yelling in the kitchen, calling out orders, yelling "behind!", "hot", etc. It is organized chaos.
I have my orientation for school on Thursday. I feel a bit better starting since I have been in a kitchen, even though the only food I have touched is parsley and cilantro. Regardless I am nervous and excited to start.
Wish me luck,
Future Chef Ruby
