To soon Chef?

          Some people just don't think before they do or at least they don't try to i suppose. There is a class at the Culinary Institute of America where two classes have to work together. This class is banquets. It takes place for three weeks where we spend seven days working the front of the house as servers and seven days working the back of the house making the food to be served. Our sister class is the opposite as you can imagine so one class is doing the cooking and the other the serving, then we switch. As it so happens it was my classes turn in the back of the house and we were cooking with gas, metaphorically and literally.

          As it so happens, we were getting ready to open for service when I heard Chef yelling "What the hell!!! Where did the appetizers go? We only had half plated!!" The class went silent, apps team went in search of the missing tiny works of art they were in the middle of plating. The problem was, they weren't completely finished and they had disappeared. Low and behold there are the servers standing in the doorway waiting for the apps. One asks chef "We're running low on the apps when are the rest gonna be done?" Chef retorts " You didn't! Tell me you didn't take the apps out already!" Student replies "Yes, people were seated and we saw the apps sitting here ready to go so we started serving." Storm clouds begin to brew in Chef's head, here comes the maelstrom.

           "YOU DID WHAT!!!???" THEY WERE'NT READY! HOW COULD.... WHY DIDN'T.... ARE YOU SERIOUS? HOW COULD YOU START SERVING AND NOT TELL ME? I AM THE CHEF, I AM IN CHARGE OF WHEN WE START PLATING! YOU NEED TO ASK IF WE'RE READY OR NOT, YOU NEED TO......." This yelling continued for roundabouts of 2 minutes or so. the kitchen dead quiet and diligently working with heads down focused on task the tasks at hand. Once the storm was over, he commented about how proud he was of us and how he was glad we don't act like the sister class.  

         What need to be understood here is that servers need to clear anything food wise with the Chef or there will be hell to pay. All in all taking the apps without asking was beyond stupid, that's like taking an unfinished steak from a pitbull, your about to get your head ripped off. Just not smart. - 5 points for stupidity
