Hells Kitchen USA?!
Question:
Hells Kitchen USA?
I live in the UK, and download the series of Hells Kitchen every week. Julia is a 'short order cook'. Please can somebody explain to me exactly what this means?? Thank-you. (I also wanted her to win)
Answers:
its so cool that he's going to send her to culinary school! Short order (she works at a chain breakfast restaurant) means eggs, bacon, burgers, not exactly fast food- but family restaurant food as opposed to fine dining
wiki says
kitchen staff members at casual restaurants such as diners may be called chefs but are more often called "cook" or "short-order cook."[6] A chef may be referred to as a mere cook either to reflect a lack of formal training,[7] a focus on "home" rather than fine-dining cuisine,[8] or to imply amateur quality food.[9]
