I start my first job on the line tomorrow afternoon, and the excitement has turned into nervousness. I've never cooked in a restaurant before, but I spent the last 3 years doing dishwashing and prep; both in fine dining and short order environments.
I was finally given the opportunity to cook when a local chef called and said he saw my resume. He hired me not so much from my experience, but because he thought I was passionate about food. He hired me as the main Garde Manger, working every shift but one.
Needless to say, I was ecstatic when I got the job. Now I'm really nervous. I guess it's stupid to ask and mostly common sense at this point, but does anyone have some advice?
It's Italian upscale dining.
