MY PERSONAL SOUND THEME FOR THE NIGHT

My personal sound theme for the night is just Eminem in side the restaurant. I was already alone and I decided to play songs of this guy. Fast rapping is also synonymous to fast cooking. I needed to get the cooking done fast and rap music is just the mood for me. 

I also turned on my personal computer inside the restaurant and while playing the Eninem songs, a corresponding lyrics were also displayed so that I can sing while I am cooking. This chef is also a rapper and this is just what I needed for the night. 

SIDELINE FOR MY STAY

I will be going to LA for a couple of weeks and all my expenses will be shouldered by myself. I will be there for       seminar of chefs around the world. I told my assistant chef that my money is short for the trip expenses and I thought of having a LA job when I arrive there so that I can defray some of the expanses during my stay in LA.

I am a chef and I must practice it when I get to LA. Some of my friends who are already working there said to me that when I decide to work there, they will accept me as a chef in their restaurant in LA. Having a job in LA is the only way I cant think of right now.

HUNGRY AS EVER

I was in the kitchen doing my usual cooking task when I felt that I needed to have a food to eat. My stomach was like a drum beating to fast. I was really really hungry this afternoon. I told my assistant chef to take charge of the kitchen because I have some errand to deal to. So, I went out the kitchen immediately and went to the nearest burger stand and ordered a double cheese burger sandwich with fries and a large coke just to sooth my hunger. 

Every time I feel hungry, I always go the burger stand and order these things. Many friend chefs would laugh at me because of my strange habit as a chef. What can I say, I like cheese burgers and fries. Because I was so hungry, I ate two double cheese burgers and fries that very hour. After my stomach was satisfied, I went back to the kitchen as if nothing happened.

TWO THUMBS UP

This week is abusy week for me and my kitchen crew because the restaurant is expecting VIP's for the entire week. Last month I was informed that a delegate of ambassadors are coming in the restaurant. I was also informed that I will be the one who will be preparing for the entire week stay of these VIPs in the city. I was caught by surprise by this event. I have to cancel the entire week's menu and just focus on the delegates. 

There were five ambassador coming from different countries and I needed information about their desire for food. I met the guys just one time and my conversation with them was very important because by there I was able to ask them indirectly the foods that they wanted to be served on them. 

I was the one making the dishes right now. My assistant chefs were sidelined and were just waiting for my instructions. I don't want to make any major mistakes in this event. My name and reputation as a chef are all at stake here. I am glad that the ambassadors liked my dishes that I prepared for them. For the entire week of cooking for these guys, it was like a lifetime of cooking. Two thumbs up to my crew and my assistant chefs for a job well done.
