If You Post It, Aparently They Will Come…
This will be short, I don’t have the strength to write much more. Yes, it is past 1AM. Yes, I am posting to my blog after an 11 hour dinner shift. Someone once wrote about my blog that it was proof as to why chefs didn’t write too many blogs. Yes, this is why.
Simply put, people saw the review, and they came in droves. If I am not mistaken, we think we had more people come in for dinner tonight than any other night before.
Damn.
It was hardcore. I am so thankful to my time at Tirolo for teaching me how to handle the heavy loads, and how to deal with the pressure of so many tickets flying at you for orderes from all sections of the kitchen. It was invaluable training for which I will be eternally grateful. But still, no matter how you slice it, a busy night is a busy night, and I spent hours prepping for a catering party as well as tonight’s shift, and I still had to refill most every single part of station at least once during tonight’s rush.
Here is everything I can remember that I had to restock while serving:
 I will need all the lettuce you have for tonight. And your neighbor’s crop as well… |
- Spring Mix Salad
- Baby Arugula
- Blue Cheese
- Grape Tomatoes
- Pears (3 times!)
- Romaine Hearts
- Dried Cranberries
- Pine Nuts
- Grated Parmesan
- Kale Leaves
- Lemon Slices
- Candied Walnuts
- Cranberry Vinaigrette
- Apple Cider Vinaigrette
- Caesar Salad Dressing
It was something I had never seen before at Vero, but you know what?…
I hope it happens again! I really do love this stuff!
Anyway, time for sleep - it is late, and I have to admit, I am pretty damn tired.
Stumble it!

Speaking of salads, do you know how to make “Honeymoon Salad”?
It’s easy….
Lettuce alone (let us alone)

Oh man, bad jokes are one of my favorites - don’t encourage me!
