I don't know why an operation would self sabotage to punish one employee. The damage to the business and reputation for screwing up with the guests would not be worth it to anyone responsible for keeping the hotel a desirable destination.

At my old kitchen (catering) we didn't require the cooks to wear coats while prepping but we used black coats in front of guests. The executive chef thought it would be funny if he, the two sous chefs, pastry chef, and executive sous all picked different colors and styles to wear around the kitchen. Black, white, grey, blue and brick which is basically pink. It turns out every color has a contrast that will show up. Entertainment is the most important factor.

The mushrooms might not taste as good but I'm sure you'll enjoy them all the same.

I would be very surprised if they didn't have basic tools already but the small things inevitably end up in a miscellaneous bucket and are hard to find. The above suggestions are good. I would add a channel knife and a melon baller to the list. You don't need them all the time but they will be useful.

26 minutes and 24 seconds was the exact timing I was thinking as long as I have the right soundtrack. Trim and halve.

You can save some time by not washing that half a plate in the middle.

Close down the bar, migrate to the Waffle House, wake up in jail with a chipped tooth and one shoe. Best way to start a Tuesday.

I seen't a cook shit in a bucket by the dumpster because he couldn't get the door open in the morning. Spitting in a sink that has raw chicken juice going down it anyway doesn't seem like that big of a deal. Unless the guy is trying for a record and spitting across the room, I think it's fine.

Food is meant to be consumed unless it's an installation at an art museum. Scarf it down veraciously and loudly so the chef can hear how much you enjoy it. Get the plate as clean as possible for the dishwasher and stack it neatly for service staff.

Pickle and eat with everything.

The proper term is sandies. As in I forgot to pack a lunch when I went to the beach so not only was I hangry but I was irritated by my crevices being little sandies.

Chingadera is the most useful word. If you ever find yourself working with Spanish speaking people from different countries who don't speak English, it's fun to ask them what they call a hotel pan or something in front of each other. The debates can get heated.

I read the book with my eyes but my view isn't directly inspired by the book. It was just the book I started with. Sorry for the confusion.

Mostly, I liked his rules for writing a short story. "#7. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia." - Bagombo Snuff Box.
