    #10- The Fear.

    The kitchen can be a very fearful place to work. Your order may be an hour late, a cook may call out, your dish machine may shut down during service. A lot of outside factors can determine if you can face those fears when you put the chef whites on. In this episode, we discuss and dissect some fears that we have had while working in the industry. We discuss how we got in and out of those fearful situations before it we were 86'ed. Alex also details his experience at Eddie V's Prime Seafood, and what it feels like to sit on the other side of the table when your entree is not to your liking... We actually may have made a weekly segment out of it. We made it to double digits in the episode library. Hooray!
