Closed Kitchen Shutters
Wouldn't it be fun to run a kitchen? Pui, I mean restaurant?
I mean yea I know; conventional wisdom depicts that 95% of restaurants fail in their first year (though it's actually closer to 26%) and that makes entrepreneurship seem all the more slap-in-your-face sometimes.
I remember once we were having an all-nighter at Hoop's place and they aired this show on channel 5 called 'Kitchen Confidential'. It's really a very libertarianism/political/social humour kind of comedy sitcom(yea.. pretty dark and naughty.. haha). And I was just checking it out just now, sad to say they've canceled the show for good after a meager 13 episodes! I'm sure anyone would've enjoyed it. They showcase those celebrities you recognize but never know the names of, and I like watching celebritiesyourecognizebutneverknowthenamesof, so it's really a pity man...
So, a little tribute to the show that's really gonna be awesome but was cut off. If you reckon you'd like to watch the very short season I have the videos on my com, so I'll pass it to you. :]
Anyway I was talking about running a restaurant before I digressed.
I don't think it's easy to run a good dining outlet. I mean first you need like good employees and chefs, chic ambience, then the tools and ovens and stuff, paintings, good location, fantastic food, classy appearances, and the list goes on. But I think at the end of the day, when you're put out front to serve customers and see their satisfied stomachs and smiling faces, it's really gonna be worth it. Imagine owning a decent restaurant maybe somewhere along Duxton Hill, having brisk business on a tuesday night, and rushing in and out managing the flow of orders coming out from the kitchen. It's AWESOME.
Haha, I don't know, I just have a knack for human resource and stuff like that. I like seeing things run in order and efficiency and yet able to churn out good results.
