Yesterday was a classic example of the day in the life of a line cook. (see my post what a day for more info) and when the storm had finally ceased I did make sure the other two who were online with me were able to take a breather for a few minutes.

It was funny.. after the first wave they were telling me to go and finish my lunch but unbeknownst to them I had eaten it on the fly.. every time I had to go to the walk in I did a detour and grabbed a forkful and then went back at it!
