I'd love to cook something here but this place is such an unholy mess.
Every time I come here I get sick and I know why. The kitchen is a cesspool, the living room worse and the only oasis is the room I stay in. The grandmother makes the food and does a cursory job of seeing that the place is clean.
Food stays out overnight uncovered. It's not a big problem when it's cold like it is now, but she does the same during the summer . . . the parade of ants is testimony to the happiness of the bacteria.
I swear, every time I come here I get diarhhoea, sweating, you name it. They're always sick with something, these people.
Yet, my god, a COLD! Doctor, doctor doctor! Twelve useless medicines! Powders, salves, unguents!
It's fucking crazy.
So I'm hoping tonight's yakisoba was cooked into oblivion because although it was quite good I already feel my stomach just warming up for the real party . . . just hope that automatic toilet-seat warmer is in good shape.
I surely ain't here for the food.
Hey Nick, I want to call the resto you mentioned, but what should I say? "Nick told me you need people???"
ReplyDeleteI've just had a cool idea about me entering the workforce...
I'm sorry you're not feeling well...how about having some tea?
The sooner you get home the better you will feel.
ReplyDeleteArlette, what you should do is call the restaurant and speak to Jeremy. I'm not sure what days he works, just call and ask when he does. He's the head chef, I think. (Call him "chef," that'll score points!)
ReplyDeleteHe might be very busy but if you call later on it should be okay (or earlier on).
Just say you know a Nicholas over the Internet through montrealfood.com because you have a similar food site and you're in chef school and if there is any kind of opening for anything around there. I know the turnover has been huge lately and I can't guarantee anything but Jeremy's a good guy (but he isn't in charge of hiring!) and he won't treat you badly. At worst he'll take your number and get back to you. At best he'll refer you to the manager.
Good luck, kid!
Ironman,
ReplyDeleteOhhh yeah, I am SO on that plane Friday. Just got to suck in the stomach, lower the head and go in with all barrels blasting.
I was able to climb the mountain; I'll be able to climb down it.
