I worked in the kitchen of a fancy catering company for a year or two. One funny thing about that is that I was sometimes put in charge of main courses for big expensive banquets and things. I wonder what the people paying a lot of money for their food would have thought had they known that it was made by some college kid, not even by the real chefs.

I didn't like having to actually deal with people, but they often made me stand out and carve meat at functions because other kitchen workers looked too intimidating.

One thing that I liked being in charge of was setting up those big elaborate fruit and cheese displays with glass blocks, mirrors, etc. My co-workers made fun of the fact that I always liked to work big spirals into my designs.
