I love this excerpt from Anthony Bourdain. It was exactly how Tina felt about her mise en place and kitchen prep before service.
It also reminds me of the fundraiser we held, aptly named, to help prepare Tina in her fight against cancer.
I still use the term today in my FOH work and think of her💜
“The religion in kitchens is your mise en place, your setup, knowing where everything in your station is. There’s layer upon layer upon layer of people thinking about what might happen and how they’re going to be ready for it. And things go wrong, a lot. You don’t know how many people are going to arrive when. You don’t know what might break, what supplies might not show up. It’s a dodgy business. We can’t rule the universe. So we tend to try to control that tiny little corner of the kitchen we can control. Kitchens look and sound chaotic, but most of the time there’s actually extreme order.”
–Bourdain
