Professional Cook with 20+ years in kitchens. My first job was a dish-washing position, and I haven't veered away from the Industry for any considerable length of time in 20+ years. I have worked every station in many restaurants, hotels, resorts and delis successfully across California, Idaho, and Arizona.

maintaining clean and well-stocked stations. Training of new hires. Regular kitchen and equipment maintenance and cleaning. Here, I do a little bit of everything, including prep and ware-washing, but my main duties are cooking for dinner service on the saute and broiler stations. I close the kitchen 6 nights a week and supervise two other kitchen employees
Preparation and plating of food for service, all shifts. Maintaining clean and well-stocked stations. Regular kitchen and equipment maintenance and cleaning. Here, I worked every station, and was responsible for prepping, stocking, and working the grill and fryer stations. The reason why I was there for such a short time period is that the Executive Chef left to open a new restaurant and asked if I would join him, and that is the Fort St. Station, where I am now employed.
