Psssssst. Vermouth is wine-based but it's not wine. I love vermouth. 2parts old tom gin 1 part dolin blanc 3-4dash smoked orange or lavender bitters Big, huge swath of grapefruit peel, express and drop into coupe. I shake mine and double strain because I like mine really chilly but you do you, boo. E: I prefer Haymans but Plymouth can be a nice sub if your bar doesn't have Old Tom.

I took some McCormick vodka, no name tequila, and a Tecate; swirled it with limeade, michelada salt, and lime wedges expressed and dropped in a perfectly sweaty Taco Bell cup. Holy poo poo that might be my new favorite cocktail. 16 hour shifts for four days straight. I am in a zone that scares me. edit: just got asked to do morning prep at 4am after getting home at 2am. Who's the loving liar on these forums that said hotel jobs were the poo poo?? fizzymercury fucked around with this message at 09:02 on May 20, 2015 |

Last day was today. New GM asked me if I was sure I didn't want to stay on and manage with him? He seems like a really solid boss, but I don't believe in the owners. So I cleared out my locker, got in my car, lit up a celebratory cigar, and drove home. Wonder what's next.

I've never really understood rigid anti-workplace dating stances. Act like adults, don't make a big deal of it, and agree beforehand to still do your jobs and ignore the inevitable efforts of your coworkers to damage the relationship purely for their own entertainment. I guess if your workplace is your career you might want to err on the side of caution, but to me this is nothing more than something to pay the bills and get me through school so I can get into a career I truly enjoy and take pride in. Not taking a shot at people who do this as a lifelong career, more power to you for being able to enjoy it and I know most of y'all are much better cooks/chefs than I'll ever be but I meet someone I genuinely have a lot in common with and enjoy being around (as opposed to "I'm a horny teenager and can't control my sexual impulses") I'm not going to automatically chase the thought away because I happen to work with that person. Now, I can understand policies/attitudes against two people dating when one of them supervises the other because that is almost guaranteed to be a headache for everybody no matter how many good intentions are thrown into it. Of course, this is all my personal experience and while I have been at this for 10 years, I've not been around nearly as long as most and I've always been more on the casual/chain side of things. At the risk of entering the dreaded territory of diary entries, it feels really really good to hear that someone you previously trained was singing your praises to your bosses. You know what doesn't feel good? Your coworker showing you that he can't get the gas grill to relight, so you maybe go back behind the grill and fiddle around for thirty seconds before discovering that the gas hose is barely hanging off of what is supposed to be a solid connection to the grill. I popped it back into correct position, but here's hoping that it actually gets inspected by someone with some actual knowledge and maybe, just maybe, fixed if necessary because if that hose happens to come all the way off well that's quite a lot of gas being pumped right out into the air and that grill isn't the only flame back there. Maybe I'm being overly dramatic but I know you do not jack around with gas and I'd prefer not to be victim/witness to what happens when a bunch of improperly contained gas decides to have a workplace relationship with an open flame. Oh, and there's this: "See, that's why I don't like sharp knives, man. Way too easy to cut yourself." Vorenus fucked around with this message at 15:14 on May 21, 2015 |

What bothers me a lot is the 'fresh meat' attitude towards women in kitchens, FOH or BOH. I don't give a poo poo if people are dating/loving within as long as they're professionals, but I think it's really hosed up to see a new co-worker and think that she 'gets down' while comparing her directly to meat.

I'm not drinking for a few months yet, but they surpassed Negronis as my favorite for any situation except as a true apertif (ie: having a drink without food but right before food: Negroni. With any kind of food, or if food isn't coming up right after the drinking: Boulvardier.)

Given that my restaurant is in a bar alcohol only compounds the problem. Also I don't give a gently caress if you both want Memorial Day off I need one of you to work, if you don't like it quit. You can't always have every holiday/weekend whatever off together to go gently caress around while everyone else has to work. (This isn't in my current place but earlier work places) You are there to serve the guests, not act out your irrational teenage bullshit in front of the customers even though you are 30 loving years old.

We already know A Man and his dog works in some shithole, and can't help but tell us how talent-less everyone is. It should be no surprise they objectify people. This industry is nothing but comedy gold. I sent a dumb teenager server home last night, probably going to fire him, cost me over $200 in comped food. Fucker didn't write down any of his orders, take any of his tickets with him. Just waited for 6 orders to all be ready at once and tried to deliver them all at once. So naturally 2 rooms didn't get their orders, and 3 got the wrong orders. He also had his radio off because he was on his personal cellphone arguing with his dad over computer parts or something, then disappeared for an hour while cleaning off the landings. Goddamn loving kids.

One of my exes is a general manager who dated the executive chef of her restaurant... this exec who was technically still married, an alcoholic, and oh had a kid too. How do you think that turned out when it went south? I never take pleasure in saying I told you so, but ugggghhh I feel so bad for all those workers. quote:At the risk of entering the dreaded territory of diary entries, it feels really really good to hear that someone you previously trained was singing your praises to your bosses. Eh, I'm sure I had plenty of LJ posts here if I go back to those days. On the one hand, it seems like 4 years isn't much time and all that, and what can really change in that amount of time. But four years ago, I was still in the kitchen -- not in school, not graduating, not working as a wine data monkey, not going to the back of my friend's car and taking some of his Milagro select barrel reserve and Michter's whiskey because "ugh I drink wine all day, I never have a taste for liquor by the time I get home." Things can change pretty drastically pretty quickly.
