A la Carte Cookery

Well here we are once again, but this time, cooking it up A la Carte!


Welcome to the Sage Breakfast Menu crew at Metro Community College!

Introducing the team:

Chef Perthedia
Chef Dawn
Chef Patti
Chef Randall
Manager Shawn
and overseeing it all, the renowned Chef Garvey!

So, A la Carte is all about handling the full breakfast menu by line order. Here is where the fun begins and I must say I am already having a ball serving it up.
Omelet no pork, ORDER UP! It's all about knowing the menu, working your skills and hustle, yes, more hustle. We're getting our hands right in the mix of it all. Tight quarters, side by side dependency on your counterparts and most of all attention to details. Now it is time to show the public just what you've been learning behind the scene. Tillman Platter hold the cakes, bacon wheat, ORDER! Well as you can see, even I am am updating you the orders just keep on coming. As I was saying attention to detail is very important. From person to person orders change variations can be made due to many reasons such as dietary, allergies, preparation preference well you get the idea. The thing to keep in mind is getting it right (Parfait no chips ORDER UP!)see they didn't want the chocolate with theirs. Well looks like the breakfast crowd is coming in pretty heavy now, check in later I'll let you know how things are going. Fried egg sandwich ORDER UP, Fruit cup ORDER UP! Rosti no bac, ORDER!
