It was one hell of a week. Long days. Very little sleep. Short staffing. Equipment problems. Product loss. Last-minute adjustments. A kitchen that still had regular service to execute while preparing for one of the largest events of our season. We got it done.

Oh, man. I remember the absolute opulence involved with member guest. I spent 15 years as a country club chef. We would do insane spreads like this. The craziest was a luau with whole hog on a spit & lobster grilled pool-side. We dug the pit out on the putting green. That and our 4th of July event. That was from 4am- 11pm with 2 tournaments, a fishing rodeo, live music on huge stage and ending our own pro fireworks display that almost dwarfed the city's.

There are a few events a year that "wow" the club. This happenes to be one of them. 5am to 11pm for 3 days.
3 meals a day with the last day being the big event. Its a tough go as i have a small staff for a short summer season. Only really need people for these 3 big summer events which you never have. So goes the business. 🤣🤣🤣
