From another instructor " It all depends on how you hold your face"

when an ill-prepared garde-manger was on his knees, head in the reach-in telling chef he was looking for and item on a first course going up:

chef comments from down the line "should you be looking for a new job while you're in there?"


painfully methodical but likeable prep cook when sous chef pressuring to complete a task:

"don't harsh my mellow"
