put on your running shoes, Big Perm

I've been back in the saddle for three weeks now. I am loving life in ways I never have before. The kitchen is cleaner, the staff is more awake, and we are getting a new high temp dish machine next week. To top that the summer menu is 99% done, morel season is starting, and Interactive Sushi Class has come and gone. To top that I got a half dozen wine club recipes written, prepared, photographed and delivered a week ahead of schedule (thank you Cecil). What next?

I am taking away the cooks copy of the tickets this coming Friday and Saturday nights. I am calling all the food for service. The dinner staff has been reading their own tickets since I left 9 months ago. Since I've been back I've observed their methods of calling, cooking, and plating the food. When it gets busy they get sloppy, and spend more time reading that cooking. Clearly it is my job to be in the expo window and now that the kitchen is getting back to the way I like it I will be camping out there for the summer.

This weekend will put them and myself to the test. Our summer menu, summer hours, and summer rushes are just one month away. Also, we are getting a brand new crop of food runners. I wish them bitches good luck. What's funny is right now they think I am really nice.

Our staff is better than ever and I know there is no stopping the momentum into summer. I can't wait:

"All right boys and girls, listen to my voice, I will guide you!! All day from the grill I need 17 filet, 4 rare, 8 medium 2 with foie, 2 med well, and 3 well walking with 11 salmon, and 6 lamb, one rare no turnips, 3 medium, and a well no salt. How long??!!!"

I like tickets for the reason I trust very few people to call them out to me. I think about things differently and need to be confident that my expo understands how I think. I would let you call them out though.

Tell "Runs with food" to get that filet out to table 420 asap.
