Lets just see.....

I know you are young cuz you stated it........ but that is the best training for the world than anything.

Do you know your wines yet?

Would seriously wait tables for fun..................

If was a nice place.

Last time Fried was waiting tables was at a wine bar/restaurant and would tell the chicks........

If it gets busy or loud, just grab your right ear and I'll come over.

Being a server helps if you know or like food.

Fried likes food and can explain it.

Would challenge the kitchen staff weekly on a cookoff. 

And would drag the Chef out into the Dining Room at least Monthly to shake hands.

My Chef was an introvert but he had a cool hat..........

I'd drag his ass into the dining room.

Make him appreciate it.

Fucked with the line cooks 24/7......... "yo...... can I get some soy sauce with this dried up mess??

Cook:  We don't have soy sauce

Fried:  Find some

Fried can cook and wins BBQ contests and shit and understands meat.

Good job AD

I never subscribed to the burn and turn tho.......... I would flare up the tableclothes and make a total production out of it.

Just not in my DNA..... aiming to impress.

Just too personally too into the food part to churn and burn.

I don't think I could do that.

For real........... Fried is a little bit of a dramatic to begin with but would FLARE the tableclothes like nobody's business.

If they wanted booze or wine............... was on it.

But let's get this straight........... I'm an actor.

AD......... the BEST training you will ever get.

Keep it up

But Fried rules Dining Rooms................. if nobody was bitching I would go grab Chef and say........ "nobody is bitching, come make a lap"

He's stroll out wearing the freaking HAT and shit.

Starting point dude..........

It all starts some where.

I started with food food first and ended up in a restaraunt but it can work backwards.

"Serving" is an actual "skiill" by the way AD........... KEEP THAT SHIT UP!!!!!!!

The BEST experience you will get.

Just don't let them suck you into any full time shit. 

Everytime I go grab a part time, they will load you up with hours.

Plan your excuses/reasons beforehand...........

You cant work Wednesday cuz bible study, Thursday is tennis, Friday is open, saturday is open, but Sunday is mass, Monday is family day........... etc.

Just don't get sucked into it cuz they will schedule you 55 hours a freaking week for a part time situation.

But man I work with a couple guys and gals that have been doing it for years and have and could work in fine dining restaurants but this is like their 2nd job. Those guys are damn impressive...I definitely have a different respect for servers now that I actually do it. 

You know good service when you see it.

Tips all wash out........ they usually show up but don't stress.

Flow is important........

And then that's when need the kitchen's help.

My last gig's kitchen hated me but they also loved me...............

They knew I ruled it...... but I still got major fucking lip.

It's not an easy gig............. dealing with the kitchen, customers, and managers.

BUT...... you will learn shit fast doing that.
