My buddy informed me that his wife landed a job at Gramercy Tavern.
Buddy - Well, it's more like an *internship* and it's actually the top-rated restaurant in New York City. She's in charge of organizing the refrigerator. And it pays minimum wage.
CaptiousNut - But still it'll look great on her résumé and will be a tremendous learning opportunity.
Buddy - She has to start out at the bottom and pay her dues.
CaptiousNut- Yeah. Something will open up soon. She'll move up the food chain fast.
Buddy - But she doesn't know if she wants to work in that kind of restaurant or any restaurant for that matter. It's so crazy intense. People are always chopping off their fingertips and getting burned...
CaptiousNut - You know I was always wondering about that. I always wanted to ask these professional chefs: Chef Ramsay, Lydia from that PBS Show, et al, how many times they cut themselves chopping garlic and whatnot....And you see it all the time on Hell's Kitchen. Almost every season someone gets really hurt.
Here's the menu at Gramercy Tavern. Currently dinner is two courses and costs $86 per person. Good luck with weekend reservations!

Grammercy has a very interesting and intense corporate culture. They were featured in a book I just read called "Small Giants". Essentially great companies, not great big companies, that chose to grow without outside capital and within their (owners, employees) means and beliefs.
Slow out
