The master fry cook!!!

So after being hired at the cheesecake factory, I was stationed on the fryer. Making french fries and deep fried items. The station pretty much required pure speed as most items cooked in 5 minutes and the snack menu items cooked in 1-3 minutes. The station was a two man station, one person cooking and the other one plating the food. Working was a game of cat and mouse, because you would always try and put the other person in the weeds. The weeds refer to having so many tickets that your backed up for days...  So when breaded items would come, the cook making the food would get into the weeds but when the snack menu came the person plating would get into the weeds. Breading food was time consuming for the cook and plating was time consuming for the person plating. It was a never ending game and it would only get more stressful when we would get slammed with tickets. 3o tickets in the window, expiditor yelling wheres this item, is this item dropped yet. Luckily for me I was trained by one of the best fry cooks in the kitchen. He went by the name of luis a cook in his mid 40's from honduras, mainly spoke in spanish but boy could he work the fryers like a pro. His ultimate quote line was whenever a food expoditer would ask him for something he would reply " I cant help you talk to a manager."  His last famous quote would be whenever an order would come in he would say "calamaria" it would be his way of protesting mixing ave maria with calamari. It was thanks to him that I mastered the fryer and could later call myself a master fry cook.
