Thank you Mr. Minor

"No" is the new "Yes." "Sure" is the new "I'll grab my ankles"

As a chef there is only one answer to every request..."sure." Never show that it bothers you even when the request is a complete pain in the ass. As chefs we do not falter. As chefs the only time we say no is to our friends and our lives.

Don't get me wrong, I love the challenge. First day back at Crazy Town last Friday I was given the charge of writing the summer menu asap, writing the mother's day menu asap, prepare to teach a sushi class in less than two weeks, get ready for Easter Sunday, get ready for Chef's Night Out, prepare a vegan menu for a party on Wednesday, get the kitchen back into shape, and take over all the ordering. Of course all this comes second to monitoring lunch and dinner service. "Sure" is what I said hoping to call some sort of bluff.

23 hours later I was asked if the new menu was done yet.

Maybe you should direct them to your website (www.WhyIleftThisCrazyF'ingPlaceLastTime.com)
or tell them you can only find certain accessories in a Size 7 or smaller. Then again, some menus write themselves (Chicken Atlantis!) and at least it is isn't the middle of your busy season. There is a fine line between a beast and a martyr. I personally prefer my lines a little blurred. Hang in there, OBD. We love you!!!

I love it. If I'm learning sushi well enough to teach it, then we are running sushi all next weekend for specials and amuse bouche. Sushi and Pinot Gris spontaneity. Never know what's gonna happen. Maybe I will turn the expo station into a sushi-land and teach the food runners to do it like Shingi (Fucka you).

Easter was a success thanks to the tasty ham from meatsaltbeerfagmusic. Chef's night out was easy and silly as usual. Vegans are eating Pistachio Currant Pate, Pearl Barley with Root Vegetable and Blood Orange, and Mango Passion Fruit sorbets. Thanks to a great team everything else will be easy.

I couldn't be luckier.
