The Past Month Part Four
During my short term of unemployment I was doing cheffing nixers (I do them a lot) in a friend of mines restaurant, and one of the days they said they needed me to work the grill, now I was a chef full time for three years and half time when in college but I never ever worked the grill because I went from commis to pastry and never looked back so I was scared as shit that I wouldn?t be able to it, its all about timing and steaks, steaks are not hard to cook for yourself at home, but when you have 40 orders for steaks all done at differing degrees of doneness it can be mildly frightening, but, amazingly I did it, 102 covers all day and nothing sent back, I was delighted and then the next time I was there I wanted to work the grill, so now, I am the "grill bitch" when I work there, it?s a dirty job, but somebody?s got to do it.

I think for the benefit of any readers not from Dublin/Ireland, you might want to explain what a "nixer" is.
Don't chefs call a grill a "broiler" or something?

A nixer is when you do work for cash, and the tax man doesnt know about it. American chefs call what Irish people call a grill a broiler, when I say grill I mean like hot griddle thingy, ah it's too hard to explain, the really super hot plate with the lines on it that makes the black marks on steaks, that's the grill k?
