Chef at Work


Chef at Work

Here is the guy who made my lunch. Besides him, there were three women cooking, serving, running the register, and cleaning up. He' sitting just in front of the register, by the way.

Here the chef is on his post-lunch break rush break. He's watching the Seattle Mariners (Ichiro) vs New York Yankees (Matsui) game (Yankees were ahead 6-4 when I left) on a TV that's bolted to the wall just below the ceiling and he can't hear it where he works (the exhaust fan is too loud) so he sits out in the dining area. At least when most of the customers are gone, he does. In a lot of raamen places the cook will come out front to sit and watch TV or eat. I've seen some who have a beer when there aren't too many customers. And usually they smoke, but this guy isn't. It's a pretty clean shop with a nice surprise in the back.
