Welcome foodies!!!!
This is a blog that will take you deep into the kitchen wasteland abyss! I have spent about 10 years in the restaurant business from washing dishes to being Head Chef. I plan on taking you on a colorful and animated journey threw the everyday grind of a kitchen wasteland lifer. WARNING!!!! If you enjoy eating out this might not be the blog for you, but lets get real. Enquiring minds want to know what's really going on behind those kitchen doors, or do you??
For all of you out there reading this you can just call me Doughboy. I started out working at a Country Club when I was 15 washing dishes and never looked back. That's a lie I have looked back thousands of times, but still find myself in the wasteland. From 15-18 I had no worries and working in the kitchen was fun, easy and very mellow. I also got free golf and free food, WHAT PERKS!!!! I thought wow this isn't so bad, the pay sucked but I was enjoying myself. I worked with a few guys that seemed like they enjoyed every minute of work and now I know they were a bunch of miserable F#*@s. I should have known when I saw them everyday over the summer with dingy white shirts, cigarettes dangling from there mouth and smelling like Steele Reserve and peppermint schnapps. How in the hell did I think this was the life for me?? I soon realized that I was really good at what I did and there was more out there for me then the Bates hotel of Country Clubs.
I finally decided to move and with that i enrolled in Culinary school which to me was the biggest waste of money in my life. Yes, even more of a waste than those Garbage Pale Kid collector sets that I had to have. I'm not sure if it was just me who hates to be in any kind of school setting or if it was the five or six house wives that wanted to know how to properly boil water, really Suzy the homemaker really!!!! Lets not stop there, the man who ran the school had to quit half way threw because he had a nervous breakdown over his past being exposed. He was the Head Chef of a prominent hotel and was found in the break room in his tighty whiteys passed out drunk watching porn!!!! Who does that and how can you think it wont come back to bite you in the ass? I still didnt get a clue!!!
Oooops... Sorry foodies I'm hungry and that means its time to go. I will catch you all tomorrow to continue my fall into the Kitchen Wasteland abyss....
