Day 7

A kitchen is like a battlefield. Everyone is constantly yelling knife and there's always fire. Everyone sweats and runs around like they're dodging bullets. The only difference between the kitchen and an actual battle field is people are carrying sharp objects instead of guns and the bullets your dodging are hot pots or pans. Like a battle you get battle wounds when crab cakes decided to attack back and won the battle against your oil burnt hands. Chefs are the master of this battlefield.


There's always a war going on no matter what kitchen you enter. Each day you work is a battle in that war. The battles consist of challenges you have to face. Here and Johnson and Wales the challenges are determined by what you have in stock at the walk-in fridge; the rules of the challenge is set by the Chef. The rules are basic, what you will be making whether it be a entree, appetizer, or a salad you have to understand the rules and then what you have in your arsenal to complete the challenge. Most of the time the Rules also come with any protein needed for an entree but everything else is a free for all slaughter to see who can grab the oranges, celery or syrup first.
