Classic Rock all the way baby!

We do a little change up every now and then, but mostly the older classics on wklt-98, Kalkaska, MI.

My personal preference while working? Jazz and Blues. However, I'll never get my crew to go along with it....

Gilbo...........interesting approach theming music to kitchen prep. I like it but couldnt tolerate japanese pop whilst doing suchi or anything French unless its Cajun.

I used to succesfully clear stragglers from a well past closed restaurant wine bar by piping Sex Pistols through. It sure woke em up & they always saw the funny side.

Hulk, just some food for thought, The Japanese government did a time and motion study & found that playing music increased work harmony & efficiency. Tuborg decreases productivity although it sure tastes good.

On this theme ive invited a local Chilli peppers tribute band to play in the corner of my kitchen, for purely scientific purposes I shall earmuff one chef & leave one with full audio capabilities, they will then jointly cook a mexican menu & the winner gets a dozen Tuborgs.!

Soussweets what time shall we meet to hogtie the scoundral.

Default Mood Music

Just wanted to chime in “HEAR” a bit

There is nothing like the a little mood music to set the tone for some massive food production. So this is how I prefer to start my day off.

Morning
Strong Coffee about two quarts give or take and some Billy Idol “White Wedding” this allows me to clear my thoughts and reflect peacefully on the day’s production. When I think my staff is bored that early then I dial “8” on the phone and that activates the PA system and the whole building knows its time to wake up and smell the coffee.

As the delivery guys begin to make their rounds my preferred next selection is and oldie, Black Sabbath “We Sold Our Soles To Rock N Roll” Its amazing how much attention you get from the meat guy while this is pounding in the back ground and you reach down and bite the head off a tenderloin to check it for quality, lets just call that breakfast.

Mid Morning
Well time to soften things up a bit the next selection and one of my staffs favorites (which ranges from 30 to 50 people) a CD I burned with about 60 mp3s containing every ones Solicited Selections like; Metallica, White Snake, AC-DC, Off Spring, Rob Zombie, Scorpions, Aero Smith, Nazareth, a few Beatles Tunes, Van Halen, Bare Naked Ladies, Smashing Pumpkins, oh Yea Guns n Roses and for my good friend Cleveland Wilson (Jamaican) A few Marley tunes.

After Noon
Its either W-IOT (Toledo’s Only Real Rock Station) or Rush Limbah either one can get you pumped up for service.

It’s not uncommon to have to execute 1500 to 3000 off premise catering covers for this there is nothing quite like my cd of Floyd, Boston, Stix, Journey, Rush and Zeppelin.

It’s pretty funny when I am on vacation and return my boss says hey “Chef it’s been quiet while you were gone”. You think he may really mean’s it? Heck I don’t know, I am just being me…..

I once met Billy Idol just before an early gig before he was famous he played the big star routine so I hit him over the head with my skateboard, that woke him up,
