The Food Network finished two days of shooting this morning. They filmed us for a new reality show to be aired at some point. I will email everyone privately and share the air-date. I have zero desire to be on TV, but I would like to get paid like I was on TV. Anyway it was very strange and interesting at the same time. We were told that 2-3 people were coming but 6 people showed up with more film gear then I have ever seen( see picture). We could have no radio because they did not have the rights to the music. We had to turn off fans, lights, ovens, and reach-ins. They need about ten different electrical outlets for all their shit. They enjoyed sticking cameras under peoples arms to watch us cut things. I apparently they wanted to get a shot of the vacuum sealer in action and one of my co-workers had to seal something over again so they could get a shot.
When the guys were loading their car they had to walk through the kitchen. The kept walking down the line with stuff and I was thinking how dumb they were. Then suddenly the leader asked if it was cool if they brought their equipment down the line. I of course said yes. I was surprised by their knowledge of how a kitchen works. They all said "coming down" or "behind you" when they were carrying loads down to their car. I was impressed. Although they do work for the food network.
I will keep everyone posted on air date and time. My plan for wearing Kitchen Convoluted" gear never materialized.

dude. really? the only time a restaurant i've worked at has been on tv was cause some people got salmonella and were all fussy about it
They wanted to talk with the head chef and owner. They were "miked" (sp) for most of friday and saturday so the jokes and bad language had to be toned down. I doubt you will see me doing anything but getting coffee or cleaning something.
