Confessions of a Line Cook: introducing the f n g. again.

introducing the f n g. again.

for those of you not in the business, f n g means fucking new guy.  for the second time in around three months, i am the f n g.  but that's good, though, cause it means i got a job!  i was out of work for a week.  dropped tons of resumes but only got two callbacks.  the good thing is the second callback was for a place i really wanted to work.  the first place is a highly recommended steakhouse, but it's a bit of a drive, and the job i took is way easier to get to.  i also take perverse pleasure in the fact that it's just a stone's throw from the place i was unceremoniously dumped from.  although, i gotta tell ya, a week after the fact, i honestly couldn't care less.  it wasn't really working for me anyway.  i am glad that i made up with some people, and word on the street is that everybody knows what really went down, so it's all good.  although i did hear today from somebody who heard it was "a mutual thing" that i left.

ha.

anyway...i don't care.  everybody at that place rules except for one lying little snake-type creature, and that person digs their own holes, and kitchen karma works way faster than regular karma. 

anyway, new job!  it's awesome!  i rocked the broiler and the fryers.  made lots and lots of killer fish tacos, and cooked a ton of BIG FAT JUICY burgers.  new new place (i gotta find a better name for it) has a kick ass menu, and virtually everything is scratch made...just how i like it.

my pizza is done and the mets game is on, so i'm not gonna go on and on, although i could.  new job is rad.  love it already.

also glad to blog again.

I'm so happy for you. The OP website is very nice and the menu seems pretty awesome. A little big for my tastes, but I'm not the one working the line. FYI, dessert is spelled with only one 's' on the menu home page. Keep on keepin' on.
