Culinary Slum

The chefs were in a lineup ready for the next dinner service. The pastry head ran around with a dough ball in his hand and his subordinate stood still with the coating batter bowl. The sous chef wanted to strike the prep chef for making the error of not peeling the potatoes before cutting them. The prep chef quickly dived to catch the potato the sous chef threw at him. The line cook wanted to pitch the idea of a new sauce for the lamb chops, but turned away. "One more mistake and it's a windup!", yelled the sous chef. "Mound the pie filling slightly in the center", whispered the pastry head to his student. "Trash is trash even if it's served on a diamond crusted gold plate!", the sous chef yelled again. "I wish we could hide in our own secret dugout", whispered the pastry head. "If our restaurant recommendation score will slump again, I won't balk from shutting down this culinary slum!", screamed the sous chef.
