Last night for Valentine's Day we ran a four course prix fix for the lover's and a la carte for guests of the hotel. The PF menu was no problem and we cruised through the 10 or so couples that dined with us. The two courses that I had a part in the options were split between my station and saute, and almost every table ordered one of each. that's pretty much a layup. The a la carte was a whole different animal. They left saute alone essentially the entiere night. My station was crushed the whole time. which, lucky for me, i thrive on. I love that shit. because i've worked hard over the years to get to the point where I know how to get through it. and when i do, the feeling walking out from the 100+ degree kitchen into the crisp chicago air feels all that much better.
