I get out of hand sometimes lol. I do have a new found love of flat tops after working here tho

>>7783406
Wait, that's an ihop's kitchen?

that's actually mildly impressive

>>7783406

had an extern work in our kitchen from CIA. he worked in a few places before including a breakfast joint and whatever. we also hired a new sous that year, she couldn't even poach an egg or cook one over easy. he was way better than our sous, overqualified, and he was a bro.

last i heard he's working for a great place in the nyc area, running the show

Hell yea dude. Well flip a 260 person dinning room 4 or 5 times in a 6 hour shift. Granted it only takes at most 2 mins to fire anything on our menu but we have to keep up

Is that 4 flat tops?
A waffle maker at IHOP. I had no idea

Those flat tops are fucking spotless, the whole place is. Do you have overnight cleaners or is this just the chefs working with the scrapers then a clean down at end or service?

From a glance i thought it was denny's. But anyways im in the same spot you are OP but I got away from breakfast houses aka waffle house and denny's. I miss cooking at wafffle house tho but the one i was at was awful. I cook catfish now ;3

The flat tops where I work look like that after close, the cooks give them a go over every night as part of the close.

Professional chef here...

I worked in restaurants for about 7 years before I decided to sack up and attend culinary school. Honestly, I don't know if working in any one type of restaurant gives you an edge over anyone else.

When you first get out of school, you will get paid shit, make no mistakes. You will probably be given shitty tasks to work on. The best advice I can offer is to learn when to ask questions, learn when to keep your filthy nigger mouth closed, and learn as much as you can. Observe everything. Take mental note the way more experienced chefs are doing things. Be a fucking sponge, soak that shit in. Most chefs won't give two fucks where you worked at prior to culinary school.. .They will just view you as cheap labor they MIGHT be able to mold into something worthwhile.

Most kids just out of culinary school seem to have both a chip on their shoulder and delusions of grandeur. Don't be a nigger like that.

nobody has an edge coming out of culinary school unless daddy is friends with the owner. Working a high volume place battle-hardens you against panicking during service, but its a whole new ballgame when you have to work fast AND put out quality.
