Watching Kitchen Nightmares

     Right now I'm watching Kitchen Nightmares. As a certified Grill Cook I've got to say that this show is intense. Most individuals don't realize the pressure and stress a cook undergoes. If you don't have a store owner or responsible manager willing to take charge as the pressure heats up then you have a bad night with a lot of unhappy guest. As a writer I try to bring out and show what we go through in my stories. It is said that the best writers stick with what's familiar. I still have countless kitchen stories that have yet to be shared but someday I hope you have the opportunity to read them.
     For this year my goal is to develop what I have already written and work on a couple stories that have recently been started. I have my homework spelled out for this year as well. This includes working on those dreaded synopsis and building my editing skills.
     Changing the subject while I'm thinking about it. They say that there are some words you can use in your blogs that are profitable and will make you money. Some of these words include auto insurance, credit, school and of course electronics like computer's. I wonder how a person is paid by using these words? Seriously, no one I know would even click on the highlighted word simply because they are not visiting the site to buy something. Everyone I know likes to make purchases from Myer and Wallmart. If they are shopping online its Ebay or Amazon.com. This includes me.
     So what brought about this burst of useless information? I was checking out Alaskan jobs. I'd really love to live in that sometimes frozen wilderness. Even with arthritis advancing in these joints, I'd love to go Big-footing! There is also Moose hunting and lots of fishing opportunities.
      So this is today's dream! Let's all move to Alaska. I need an on staff doctor to assist with the pain and a job that lets me work on the computer. I only want to work a couple days a week and spend the rest of my time fishing and gardening. I need a chicken coop with chickens and some goats. Now, who want's to hook me up? Hahaha, I'll be your best friend for life as long as you don't stalk me. Try to stalk me and I will consume you because I am The Big Fish.
     OK, on this episode of Kitchen Nightmares there is rat droppings, cockroaches and rotten produce in the basement. The meat they are serving is green and rotten before cooking. The smell I would imagine is absolutely putrid. The condition of this restaurant is so disgusting that it would require a week or perhaps longer to clean up. Roaches are the biggest obstacle this kitchen faces. It can take up to a month or longer to completely get rid of them. Only constant vigilance, daily scrubbing and pesticides will take care of the problem. Even with bad management, any cook that allows standards to get that bad needs to find another job. If I accepted a job such as that I would personally call the health department on them. The economy may be bad right now but will not endanger my customers.

     In closing I'm sending Chief Gordon a "Hell Yea and Great Job" for the education and help he is offering this establishment. I hope they understand the blessing that has just been handed by Gordon and they make an ongoing effort to actively use the education that was offered to them freely.
