I have gotten to where I don’t see you anymore, Drew-I see Tim and Pam and Nicole and Bridget, etc. You're so good at this! Favorite part of my day is when a new video drops!

I kind of loved cooking alongside people who had a sweet and child-like personality!! It was kind of a nice break from the not so happy people.. myself included LOL

It's the dirty secret of running anything successfully: not everybody is up to speed, so someone has to kick behinds to get them there.
Physics in action 😉

Yup.
Had a rather… 🤔
Diminutive👌chef at the CC😏.
Just a little after Ratatouille had been out.
His name was Jeff.
Just like elementary school playgrounds, rhyming nicknames and put downs/puns come easy to a kitchen. Getting rid of them, not so much.
He was a short fuse on an even shorter stick of rage.
Ah … "little Chef" 😏

The fact is, you need a leader on the line, and a leader isn't always loved. He is respected though. Pickles is a sweet guy, but he can't run a crew. Thats why a food truck works, its just him.

The reason i decided to quit as a head chef is because you need to command respect
Not wish it, not demand it, command it
You need to be fast, aggresive and make sure every cook in the kitchen respects and listens to you, cuz if 1 doesnt most of the restaurant is fucked
And i just dont have the energy for allat

We just had the literal nicest kitchen crew to ever populate a kitchen the other night. One quiet new guy, one regular new guy. One 25 year old who had her first shift as a lead cook (steakhouse), new salad girl, first shift of expo for one of the salad/prep girls. It was so peaceful and nice and they actually killed it considering it was a slow night except for the 25 top and the 15 and 12 top that sat down within 10 min of each other.
