So you want to be a chef,

The kitchen is closed today and that means there is no money being made. However, there is still work to be done.

Third worst job is a deep clean of the deep fryer. You just can’t get away from the geeese and grime and nowhere a sous chef to be found.

Love delivery day, thank you Frisa farms for these beautiful eggs.
