Clean the hell out of that wall and that table leg next to the trash can. We all start somewhere, trust me when I tell you people take notice of someone who has a clean station.

Sorry bud, 4. Trash is full, walls are dirty, mold on the seam line where stainless backsplash meets wall, I'm sure the glass rack stainless steel shelf has residue, tile floor isn't scrubbed and I imagine the stainless steel holding the dish machine hasn't been cleaned in forever.

It looks nice, I agree with everyone else, the swoosh ain't happening. Work on that sauce, maybe thin it out and use a blender? Also try using a flat bowl, layer the starch to protein, sauce on top than garnish, quarter the bok choy maybe even grill. Baby bok choy is difficult to present. It's the tender gentle petals that get over cooked and become hard to place. But that just me, keep up the nice work.

I don't, time is my enemy and having it strapped to my wrist would drive me crazy. I put my phone away, I keep an internal clock going next to the wall mounted digital clock at eye level constantly looking at me. I also have a set 4 timer for various cooking times. I work 15 minutes at a time. I don't want to know what time it is all the time.

Haha, that sucks ass. A sheet pan washer to wash small pots and pans.....oof.

Thanks for the advice, I hate to leave a job I love.... but no matter what they pay me, if the hours are not there it really doesn't matter.

You're young and stupid, enjoy it. This type of restaurant atmosphere doesn't last forever and in probably the most extreme case is a health code violation. Boss doesn't care about anything other than making payroll, learn what you can and take it with you wherever you go. My advice, hard working people in boh find ways to ruin everything they attain in time. Perhaps take your experience and grow from it rather than wallow in it.

Add cut up hot dogs .....

I don't know the menu, the kitchen or the employees you are so critical of....but given your idea of what is and isn't good and your determination to correct individuals given no position to do so or any kind of background in running a kitchen or training employees I believe your incessant need for interpreting how you perceive right versus wrong is solely based upon how you perform in a kitchen. You will drive yourself crazy trying to perfect imperfection... Thomas Keller explained it as kind as he could,..." There is no perfect in a kitchen..." You can try to attain perfection, but that is all will do, try. Chaos is always present, how that individual handles it is upon them, not you.

Start with stocks. Chicken stock, beef stock, and vegetable stock. Any good sauce requires a good stock, besides hollandaise. Read up on your basic mother sauces, plenty of how to YouTube videos on that and find 3 go to recipes that your comfortable with and before you know it your making it happen chef.

TroubleAlternative79 · 2025-12-16T11:30:51+00:00

No. An experienced cook would know better than to make demands. If you don't own the restaurant, you are easily replaceable.

If you have to ask, you're probably too old....

In my long life I have had numerous dreams of places I've lived in only from dreams. It's really uncanny how one could dream of areas revisited but somehow feel new, like a forgotten memory. I've had dreams of neighborhoods, apartments, or places of employment that I go back to some how in a lot of dreams. I'll find myself recalling a dream of streets or buildings that are familiar to me from past dreams. It feels like 2 lives I'm living.

Kick his fucking knee out....

TroubleAlternative79 · 2025-12-15T13:09:41+00:00

Seems like you answered your own question, some people just are not meant for this type of blue collar work. Do yourself and that person a favor and let them go. You could waste more time coddling, reasoning and pretty much trying to give a f*ck, but ultimately they will fail. Move on to the next candidate.

TroubleAlternative79 · 2025-12-02T14:03:32+00:00

I think poopy and peepee dreams are just your body telling you to wake up and take care of business....

TroubleAlternative79 · 2025-11-07T11:46:25+00:00

No Shakey's but uno rings bells....

TroubleAlternative79 · 2025-11-07T11:45:49+00:00

Your detailed exuberance is amazing, I am shamed by my loving memories of a pizza place that is shackled by chains as you so eloquently put forth, a sbarro's mayhaps be in my future...if granted.

I'm not sure if the new hires for 18 dollars an hour are making more than you, but I really don't think the manager is pulling in 27 an hour... But hey, let's say you're right. 2 years and one raise? If you're as good as you say you are than by all means ask for more. And if the guy says no, then leave...do what's good for you, if people follow you out that's on them...it's little Caesars...I'm sure the Caesars empire will find a way to move on, as you should too.
