The past two nights I have had more major equipment problems than I ever have had. Thursday night about eight p.m. dining room is full, full rail of tickets, no problem , we are kicking it out just fine. I go into the walk in to grab more steaks. ITS WARM IN THERE!!! I look at the temp. its sixty five. My stress level goes from 0 to 70 in an instant. I yell to my sous,"Get over here, we have a major problem. " I jump back to the line, he starts icing down all the proteins. i am on my cell calling the repair guy, while still putting out orders and firing new ones. Turns out the freon had leaked out. Okay, problem solved.

Tonight, we get the first hard rain storm of the year. I am outside watching the streets flooding, thinking, "Well, this kills my dinner business tonight," I go back into the kitchen, my pantry cook yells to me, "Chef, there is water coming out of the hood!" sure enough, water is leaking out of the hoods, right over the deep fryer! I grab a sheet pan, put it over the fryer and turn it off. I am thinking, I have never seen this happen before. What do i do. The owner walks in right then, he sees what is going on and says, "What the **** do we do about this? " After awhile, it stopped raining in my kitchen. I obviously 86'ed all deep fry items. Right now I am thinking about tomorrow night. There is a parade that goes right in front of our rest. We are going to be packed and busy all day. What is going to go wrong tomorrow night?
