Confessions of a Line Cook: "i need an all day call!"

"i need an all day call!"

ok, all day i need two fill-its, one mid, one mid rare, two buff sammies, four cods-two tacos, two sammies, reggae wings, one tuna, fried chicken salad shit, three burgers two mid one rare, three chickies-one lem pep one for a burr one for chos.  two half pounders, three tots, and an assfuckton of fries.  re-call?

so, i have become awful selfish about the broiler station.  three months ago i was scared of it, and at the beginning of each shift would ask "where do ya want me?" in hopes somebody would say "cold side" and not "broiler".  but here we are, months later, and i walk in and set up broiler and that's MY station unless somebody tells me otherwise.  i like a break from it once in a while but that's my station.  most of the food (75-80%) comes thru the broiler station, and on taco nights or burger nites nearly all the food comes from the broiler.  so i just decided a while ago that if that's where the food was cooked, that's where i was gonna park myself.  that's my spot.  power stations need power cooks.  cold side is fun though.

"i need four small houses, one sess, one ranch, a bleu and a balls.  two hot browns, an ultie grill, nachos with japs and guac, one o spin no red o, two med chick sets, a dip samp, and two focosh for bowls.  oh, and three cornholes.  and a brownie.  and no toms on one of the med chicks add x feta."

Real cooks always work the busiest station. That is what we are there for, to work and make food. The best jobs I have ever had sucked in the beginning, so maybe that will be the same for you.

What is a "Reggae Wing"?

we say reggae anytime we mean regular. we have happy hour wings, which are smaller, and we call those party wings, and the bigger, normal menu wings are the reggae wings
