First Week Review

Currently I am working in Garde Manger with a couple of character co-workers. There is Deniz who I work closely with. He has become our friend since he reminds us of our friend Omar so much. He is our go to person for any questions we have about culture, places, trains, translations, or culinary related questions. He enjoys talking to us and comparing the differences between Miami or America and Germany. He loves burgers and wants to travel to America and eat our gigantic cheese burgers. As well as Deniz there is Linda who is a second year trainee. As she puts it, in America we study culinary and they learn it. She is very friendly and nice, and a very hard worker. She speaks the most English out of the three that work in Garde Manger. The last one is Ray. He speaks the least English but can explain what he wants very clearly. He always has a task for me and keeps me busy. He is the fastest walker I have ever met! And when he is running around during service, it is best to move before he makes you. For right now, I am mainly prepping for service, and after our lunch and service begins I plate the Amuse dishes. For the most part it is all the same components every day, but I am learning about all the different ways the same ingredients can be made and plated. At the end of the week, Emma and I were so exhausted. It is definitely something we are going to have to get used to. 

I would upload photos of the dishes that I make, but  it is not working. I have been trying and as soon as it does I will. I promise!
