What was it, who was it for? Details, Sir. Embarrasing details.
Once upon a time, so long ago I was a dishwasher/busboy. I know,,, I was 19 and you gotta work. Anyway, one Saturday night the idiot manager let the cooks go as it was around five minutes before closing. Then a party of about fifteen drunks comes in and I get recruited to cook. Having never cooked in a restaurant before it was a disaster. The manager hid in his office when he should have just told them we were closing and the cooks were gone.
Anyhow, some guy wanted a grilled sandwich made with some kind of shaved beef. I used the last four ounces of shaved been we had but it got lost with all the other stuff. I burned it. They ate for free of course, hell we should have paid them to eat that stuff. Everything else turned out okay though.
After that I got a job as a cook at another restaurant but that's another story and I got much better. I still loathe cooking for groups. I'm all for cooking intimate dinners though for someone special or for a small group of friends.
