Had to work again tonight. There are some things that I forgot to mention from last time. Like I saud before, the restaurant is in a hotel. So everyday you have to make food for club level also. So on top of prep and running back and forth between the main kitchen and the restaurant kitchen to make orders, you have to make the club level food. And the weekends, you have to create fish specials. So even more added prep to an already heavy prep load. And tonight's special sold extremely well, which helped my ego a little bit. The special was lemon sole, with a tomato risotto, and a pear salad. I sold out! So on some nights, all this work pays off when something you create is loved and enjoyed by guests and staff.
It was a Friday night and I was the only hot side cook. We had 60 reservation before 8pm, a little hectic. But luckily most were two tops, which made it a little easier. And after that push, it slowed down and had maybe 10 more walk-ins. Tomorrow will be way worse and I will have another cook. Thank goodness!
