Final Fronteir

13 July 2002 Tuesday 2:52am Sydney (gmt+10)

I met Jan and we had coffee. I waited for 15 minutes and I really thought he wouldn't show up. Good thing he did... because I was really dying to have some caffeine in me. Hehehe!
Today's entry is called "The Final Frontier" for a good reason. It's my first duty in the grill section at this new place where I now work. And it's a big deal for me! ...because, like what I've said before, I've always been a Larder chef... but I started doing the other sections and eventually I ended up in the grill section... and they don't call it the GRILL for nothing... and of all days to start off it was a Friday... which is one of the busiest day at work. HOLY-STEAK!!!

It wasn't as busy as I thought it would be... but it was busy nevertheless. I spent my first hour in the section going through my "mental notes" from culinary school because it's been ages since I handled a grill section.

Anyway... towards the end of service time... just as we were cleaning up and packing away our sections this long docket popped out of the printer. It's a table of 23... and they're all having meat... different cuts... and mostly with different doneness (ie. medium-well, rare, well-done) and for a moment it made me wish I was doing Larder again. Hehehe!
But I got it out of the way... thanks to Malcolm and George, who helped me set up the plates. Then after that Monica turned up... out of nowhere! (She's of course working somewhere else now.) Oh coolness!
