Climbing the mountain
Bobby couldn't run the wheel
for shit
and we were getting
so far in the weeds
the tickets
were lined up
like a paper fence
we needed to teardown
so I took over
from the saute station
while still doing my job
I just had him plate
and we knocked
the shit out
the next day
I was the sous chef
and Bobby
was gone
in the wind
and I was on my way
for shit
and we were getting
so far in the weeds
the tickets
were lined up
like a paper fence
we needed to teardown
so I took over

and we knocked

Food of the gods
A great dish
is comprised
of so many things
great flavor
textures
aroma
counterpoint and balance
and visual appeal
it should leave
the diner
feeling like
they just had
a sexual experience
and want more

Ink
We all have scars
tattoos from the job
that remind us
of what we have been through
to get where we are
and scars
that do not show
from things we
have lost
along the way

Bad timing
I was reading the paper
the other day
and came across a review
for a place I had just left
It was a glowing review
of how the chef
had created a truly
international menu
that took you around the world
from appetizer to soup
entree and dessert
not one word
about me
even though
it was my menu
yeah
life sucks sometimes

The journey begins
I was working for about a month
getting a little faster
a little better
everyday
then Mothers day hit
I cooked over 300 meals that day
and by the time it was over I had mastered
very dish and how to juggle
sauteing 6 things at once
and cutting rib
after that night
I was ready for anything
getting a little faster
a little better
everyday
then Mothers day hit
I cooked over 300 meals that day
and by the time it was over I had mastered

Party of one
A lot of people think that chefs
are womanizers
while it may look that way
it is not the case
the fact is
a relationship with a chef is hard
too hard for many people
you work nights
weekends, holidays
basically you are always absent
and it takes it's toll
and when you are home
you are working on new recipes
menus & ideas
you can never know it all
but you also don't want
to be yesterdays news
so you read
go places to try different food
trying to perfect your craft
it becomes like trying...

Respect the dead
Jimmie.....dead
Tom.....rehab
Dave...divorced ...and on the run
so many of them
gone now
Steve..the carpel tunnel fiasco cost him a claw
man his pallet is genius
I use him now
as a talking dictionary of favors
because he has the same affliction I have
and that is why he loves it
and I love it
and that is why we do it
there can be
no other reason
we give up
so much for it
and it will eventually kill us all

The first act of the traveling Vegas Casino
Yeah, maybe we do drink
do a large amount of drugs
swear real loud and
smoke like a tire fire
but we work
hard
and we play hard
for running a kitchen
is like a magic act
the slight of hand needed
to carry off the night's service
would impress even
Houdini

Staff meals
In the restaurant
where I cut my teeth
we did what was called
a staff or family meal
before dinner service
someone would make a large salad
and we would take turns making the meal
usually pasta or something else inexpensive
it was that way
when I got there
and when
I became the chef
I carried on the tradition
at that point
when I was working
16 hours a day
it would often be
my only meal
the rest of the time
I sustained myself
of mugs of espresso
cigarettes
and adrenaline

So you want to be a Chef
This job
is insanity at it's finest
long hours
incredible heat
deafening noise and constant struggle
to make a symphony
out of chaos
it is the closest thing
to heaven
or hell
that you will
ever get in a job
you need passion and desire
to do this work
and you need to be
a little sadistic
sacrificing so much
for the art
for the food
it is not a job for the squeamish
or the lazy
some people will
call you
an egomaniac
and that is okay
because it takes
an undeniable...

You're still coming to work aren't you
I remember
the first time
I missed a day
of work
my mother
had
just died
and I had to go home
that was it
hit the homeage
for a day
then right back to work
in this job
you don't have time
to mourn
you put your aggression
into your cooking
and you don't even feel
the heat of the kitchen
not till service is done
and you walk outside
to have a smoke
and the night air
hits you
man that is a good feeling
you take the rest of your anger ...

Soul scars
I slept with my monsters
they would force me
to masturbate each one of them
till they were satisfied
then it would be quiet
and I could get some sleep
from Sid & Mary ( Opal ) a journey into the wasteland
available on Amazon
