Field Trip #3

This Tuesday at the Little Tuna was a little more challenging then the last two visits because I had to continue to build my cooking vocabulary and Darren made sure to quiz me on the terms he's been teaching me. I've learned the text book definition of caramelization, dredge and saute. I also learned several slang terms used in the restaurant business to communicate. For example, "on the fly" would mean the server needs the meal ASAP or when an order is shouted out the person meant to receive it will say "echo" to confirm that they heard the order. Darren asked me to visit this Saturday to see how things operate on the weekends (there is a lot more business on the weekends) and have dinner with my boyfriend; I'm really enjoying this experience so far and next week I will begin to start cooking my own meals.
