savvy

do not date anyone on staff. if they eff up, you are accountable. if you eff up, they are accountable. if you both eff up, more than once, at the same time, you’re fired.

parley

in one corner a cook contemplates a boning knife. the task at hand is to score the back of rib racks, it prevents shrinkage, his slow pace is protest.
