Although the conversation I had with him was brief (and over the phone), I just talked to The Chef de cuisine at The Restaurant. He seems incredibly laid back, and excited to work with me. (Phew!) After Googling his picture, I wasn't quite sure. People can look different in pictures than in person.
People. I have done my research, and this is a serious matter.
The Chef is the REAL DEAL, and his resume runs deep in the food world. The intimidation factor is beyond high. I think I am up for the challenge, though. I am anxiously ready to learn something new.
But, I have to say that the curiosity of Thursday is killing me. I have myself wondering how much should I eat before I go to my first shift? How many knives should I bring? How comfortable do my shoes really have to be?
I have the nervousness I get before a really hard ballet. Anxiety. Excitement. Trepidation.
The butterflies have flooded my stomach, and at any time could come out of my mouth, eyes, ears, or nose.
I guess I will find out on Thursday, when the unknowns will be made clear, and I will be either regretting my decision to take on this project, or giving my self a big pat-on-the-back for making such a good use of my time off this summer.
Either way....
Can Thursday come already?!

ReplyDeleteThis blog is a blast to read. And thanks for the great tips on salad making. After all the salads I've made and I had no idea about the shallots and pepper! Good luck on Thursday!
ReplyDeleteThe curiosity about where you are interning is probably going to kill me. Can't wait to hear how it goes on Thursday.
