Working for free in a kitchen is referred to as staging (star- ge). On friday and saturday I was stage in a new restaurant corton. The highlights were liquid nitrogen, a $12,000 white truffle the biggest to come into the country in 3 years and someone smoking weed in the bathroom of a fine dining restaurant. The menu was a bit over the top (wanky) at times with high tech plating, mostly done with tweesers. The 5 stage salad had over 20 components and if the circulators for the sous-vide cooking broke, (boil in bag) the kitchen would have to be shut down.
More on monday......
