Summary
Mise En Place and Mea Cupla are elements of my kitchen career I confide in and have taught me to be prepared and ready to learn from my mistakes without and ego on and off the line, Everyone's station is everyone's station. Helping each other to be prepared and communicate during execution is a key element in creating simpatico and a tight line. Everyone should be cross trained and on busy nights aces will go in their respective places. We make it tall, we make it pretty, and we make it fast. The guests eat with their eyes first, nd I subscribe to treating each service and plate with integrity.
