This video follows a full shift in the kitchen, from the early morning right through service.
I start the day making coffee after one of my colleagues couldn’t come in — I’m not a barista, but sometimes you just have to jump in when there’s no dedicated staff.
After coffee service, I help move the day’s delivery upstairs to the kitchen (we’re based on the first floor, so everything comes in downstairs first).
Then it’s time to prep today’s special. I was inspired by chalupas — not trying to be traditional or authentic, just doing something a bit different.
The result was a double-decker chalupa-style dish using tortillas layered with beef meatloaf, cheese, potato hash, salsa and a bean purée, served with black pepper sauce and chips.
A calm, honest look at a real working day in a kitchen.
Thanks for spending the shift with me.
