Chef

I never met Bourdain or Emeril
or Mario or Ramsay or White.
I have worked with a Chef
and she is like those chefs with
qualities of fouled temperament,
bullying, maniacal tactics. A
chef knows what they want.
Their kitchen is their realm, their
domain. They own it. To be
in a kitchen with a chef is to
serve them. Do your work quickly,
quietly, precisely and correctly.
Stay out of their way, do your job
right the first time. For God
sake’s – keep your apron clean!
