    Well, this may be a longshot but...

    I am the Sous Chef at a small, chef-driven restaurant in the western suburbs, and we are looking to hire a Line Cook who has a sense of urgency, a positive demeanor, and some similar restaurant experience. Pm me if interested. :)

    Someone who works on the "line". The line is the area of the kitchen where we cook food orders for tables. As in, not a prep cook, dishwasher, short order cook, or highly experienced chef that we can't afford to hire. ;)

    No, our profit margins are very slim in this buisness ;), but if you come in for lunch during the week, I will make sure your food is extra delish ;)

    I am actually in the process of revising the lunch menu. In a few weeks, there will be a heavenly pulled pork sandwich on the menu

    I might be interested in working a couple days a week for fun. I graduated from culinary school few years ago. Cooked at a few fine dining restaurants. Worked at Cafe Maude here in the cities on there wood fire grill for about a year. I'm not working anywhere right now I'm also not looking for anything for more then 2 days a week. Contact me at [email protected] if interested.

    Whatever. I can learn this, if you want someone who is available the next day, I can do it. I have cooking experience, and make most of my elaborate dishes (such as AUTHENTIC ITALIAN lasagna, chicken parmesean, alfredos and calzones) completely from memory.

    The thing to remember is this: if someone has experience, it doesn't mean they like it. I'd do this job and love it for many years since I've never done it before (I make food because I like filling people's bellies), but the guy you hire might not. Just remember that.

    Well, I'm horrible and call the Wayzata folk hippies as well, but they're the rich "I'll only give my dog FIJI bottled water" hippies.

    Most of these people's dogs live better than I do. :emo: :emo:

    I worked in the restaurant business for three years. Not that I'm trying to work on the line, I just know that it can be very hectic and it takes very good organizational skills and one must be able to multitask in a fast paced environment. Working on the line isn't necessarily about cooking fancy meals as much as being able to organize and plate meals along with cooking things at the same time. Depends on the joint too.

    I know, I guess I'm just upset because I see a lot of idiots working as cooks, when people like me, who need the work, are out of jobs.

    Case in point: I went to mcd's, and I trust the people at the local one, but ... they could barely get 2 dbl cheezeburgers and a single cheeseburger right

    and then, I go to Perkins, and I say "no mayo" on my sandwich, which somehow gives them the right to NOT include bacon (Or BBQ!) even if the sandwich comes with it.

    And I go away thinking: well ****, I can do this job better than these idiots, and here I am on unemployment still looking for work I enjoy. What the **** is up with that??!

    Very well said

    We are pretty darn fancy compared to Perkins, that's why I am apprehensive about starting someone who doesn't have a feel for how an industrial kitchen works ;)
