Grease, Burnt Knuckles, Alot of Sweat, a Few Cases of Fruit and Alot of Learning

Well, the title is basically my evening in a nutshell.

Grease - Scrubbed the Hoods this evening, tons o' fun!

Brunt Knuckles - That French top can get pretty hot and we didn't have alot towels.....ouch like alot

Alot of Sweat - I was in the weeds tonight, still on a menu I haven't cooked every dish on, some specials that we hadn't done fully and about 80% of the tickets were coming off my station. But with help from the rest of the line and my Executive Sous Chef there to help me, push me and guide me, we pulled out of the weeds, got back on track and kept our cool. The food being sent out looked great and we got tons of complements.....a couple told us there meal was better than one the had at a two Michelin in France. Like that's a flipping complement...and there meal came off MY STATION! So yeah! Rocked it tonight and learned alot on running my station, I did well for day 6 of running m station but its alot of work before I get it down and not to mention in 10 days we switch menus. Crazy, crazy, crazy but once you get in the flow and pace it feels amazing running my station!

A Few Cases of Fruit - Alot of fruit trimmed and cleaned up for a party....and theres only more I need to clean tomorrow.

and Alot of Learning - Of course a day at work wouldn't be complete without learning, thats why I love going to work, the fact I get to learn! I learned how to run my station successfully and things that Zack is helping me with. Also I had a good talk today with Zach, talking about the future because Jake told him that I wanted to spend 6 months in Europe so we talked about that and also some ideas I had for the future and he told me that he'd be more than glad to help me out! So I have a feeling I'm in a great place!

But thats all for now, good night all!
