CHEF WISE MOVE TO SAVE

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

I have been a chef for about 10 years already. In that span of time, I was able to make friends with other chefs not just in my location but also abroad. Conversation with my chef friends usually happens every day and mobile phones are the easiest was to communicate with then and share recipes with them. That is why a am already hook to my phone plan and it is also costly on my part. in just one month of using my phone plan, I am always paying around 5,000 to 6,000 a month for call charges. Not to mentioned the phone issued to me is not what I wanted. That is why a shifted to Straight Talk. I am now using my Android on Straight Talk and it is great. In an average, I Call a friend at least 10 times a day. If I am using my old phone plan, that can lead me to financial problems. Since I am using my Straight Talk plan, I really save a lot. A Hook, line and sinker is al I need with Straight Talk. With Straight Talk, I get to have the most modern cellular phone and I save a lot. My chef friends are already disconnecting their mobile phone plans with different telecommunication companies and has already shifted to Straight Talk because of the services and the amount than can be save. For a chef like me, this is a wise move for me. 

COOKING TIMEOUT

Its durian season here in our city. Last night, I ate always three whole fruits of durian and now I am starting to feel the effects of it. Durian is very reach in protein and may cause to high blood pressure once you eat it overly. I feel the blood rushing through my veins and I needed to see a doctor right now. I was not able to do my chef duties because I don't feel good this morning.

I needed to rest o else I might get a health problems when I am stressed at the restaurant. My assistant chef is now taking over my duties in the kitchen and cooking for 2 days. I guess I over ate the durian fruit. Its a cooking timeout for me right now. Oh well, I guess I have to rest and stay away from cooking for 2 days. But that durian was the best. Durian fruit is also best to be baked as durian cake and durian pie. Very delicious....yummy!

CHEF MERGING TO ONE

My chef classmate in the culinary school called me this morning and offered me a good deal. He wanted our restaurant businesses to merge in one. The reason is that he will be moving to another country and he does not want to sell his business to other people. That is why he wanted to merge it with my restaurant so that his business will not be gone. Ownership will be 65-35 and that is a good deal for me since I am getting larger control over the business. Currently, I have 3 branches and his business has 5 branches. This chef is very close to me because she is like my brother and he also taught me many recipes.

I already consulted my attorney about the merger of our restaurants. By nest week, we will be ironing the papers for the formal merger. After that, my friend will go straight to London for his master's in culinary arts. I am very excited about our business plan.

TIMEOUT FROM COOKING

The week was so tiring for me. Three events were held inside the restaurant and I needed a break. I had a few hours sleep this week because of the event preparations and finality in the meals to be cook. I am just lucky to have a good cooking team and my assistant chef was spectacular. She was able to assist me well in the cooking in the kitchen. We were able to cook around 100 dishes for the entire three events and that was just good enough.

Next week will be another battle in the kitchen for we have a scheduled four events and we need a good strength to make the cooking more successful. I told my assistant chef and my kitchen assistants that this weekend is a holiday for all of us. This is for a job well done this week. I already posted a note outside the restaurant that restaurant will be close for cleanup. I guess this is good night to all.

CAKE BUSINESS IS A GOOD IDEA

I just arrive home from the daily cooking task in the restaurant. Today, I made a special treat to the customers who are loyal to my restaurant. I gave out some cupcakes to them. Every customer that dine in the restaurant, they are given a cupcake each person in the table. The cupcake giving is also another way of telling to my customers that aside from cooking their favorite dishes, a chef like me can also bake cakes.

Across the street where the restaurant is situated, I opened my cake shop. I really don't know the outcome of it but based on my observation, many customers are starting to notice the delicious cakes and pastries that I bake in the cake shop. There is one chef that I assigned to do the baking but I also supervise the baking operation of the shop.
