With Marcus and me at the library we went over Chef Laura’s demands. We knew our Chef uniforms. The breast pocket of the jacket can contain one clip-on pen, thermometer and notebook. The Chef’s pants are black and white checked like the other garments.
No facial jewelry such as in eyebrows, eye lids, lips, tongue, upper ear , or noise is not permitted. The only jewelry that is acceptable is one plain ring and one watch. The basics of the Culinary Dress and Grooming codes.
Then another student Tim came over. Tim was older about my age. There were very few of us older students and we pretty much spotted each other quickly.
Tim told us he had been a professional waiter in high-end restaurants and was burnt out. Primarily due to the Recession. So he thought of a change of pace and a new career if he learned how to cook.
It was great talking to each other and we knew we had a lot to do tomorrow.
