Oh dang! ME TOO! Wow did that just trigger a whole bunch of memories.... I bussed in my teens and waitressed in my 30’s. Bussing was FUN but oh those waitressing tips .... $1000 a week in cash, until a massively broken foot ended my side hustle, and caused a chain reaction of events I’m still recovering from ...
But anyway - I love restaurant kitchens - at least the ones I worked in. Those big coffee pots were daunting. Needed a step ladder to reach the top.
My dream kitchen has stainless steel counters and a drain in the middle of the floor. THAT is a “professional kitchen”, aye?
Yes! I was the janitor on weekends and was eventually a short order cook!.............
