Line Cook - Port Orleans Resort

Walt Disney World
05.2005 - 09.2005

I worked with the company on an externship for about 4 months. I worked as a line cook at Port Orleans Resort. It was a food court, a restaurant and in the prep kitchen. Food court included burgers and prime rib sandwiches, homemade pizzas, and pie and milkshake shop.

In the restaurant section, I worked either salads and dessert or fried appetizers and soups. And for the prep area it included preparing bbq ribs, collard greens, french onion soup, and homemade crab cakes.

It was a great experience and helped in my development.
