I'm evil

....or at least that's what some of my co workers tell me.

I've mentioned I'm the cook at a local bar and grill and I have a trick to get people to eat. I have a 6 burner grill, 4 deep fryers and a flat top gridle where I toast buns, saute' onions, mushrooms etc and a huge hooded fan that runs the length of the kitchen and believe me when I tell you that thing can move some air. Now, we serve bacon on a lot of things like bacon cheese burgers, BLTs and I'll put it on anything if you ask, so many mornings when I go in, I need to fry bacon for the day.

....I don't turn the exhaust fan on.

The whole place is full of the smell of frying bacon and I've had folks come in who said "I wasn't hungry till I smelled that " so they order food.
My co workers say I'm ruining their diet because they just can't resist when they smell it. Many times, when I saute' onions or grilling a burger, I turn it off, just for a minute, to let the smell get out in the bar, then I turn it back on.
It works.

Yep, I'm evil like that.

When I had my restaurants I did the opposite, I'd sauté up a big skillet of olive oil and garlic, turn on the extractors and let that aroma waft across the parking lot. People would wander in and say, 'It smells so good out there, I'm hangry'.

I wish I was there. I have a pretty small kitchen [ I'm a one man band, that's how small the kitchen is ] and a limited menu but I'd love to work somewhere where I could stretch my skills. I'm a damn good cook, not a Master Chef by any means, but I'd love to work with one.

...it's all fun and games until DB wanders in for your 'All You Can Eat' buffet.

If that ever happens, I'm throwing in the towel and going to the drinking side of the bar.

13 years was enough. I made a great living and worked with/met a bunch of industry household names. It was fun but now I have weekends off.

Just like they say that there are no atheists in a foxhole, there are no vegetarians when the bacon starts sizzling.

The smell of Onions being cooked, that would be enough for me!

I used to love Caramelized buttery onion sandwiches when I was a kid, so good!

Movie theatres used to pump exhaust from their popcorn machines into the theatre.
