A Rare "Day Off Eve"

Ahhh yes, its mid-week people and I couldn't be happier personally, because that means my day off is right around the corner. Ever heard of the term "day off eve?" Probably not because a former co-worker of mine at Olives named Jamal crowned that one...but I swear by it. It gets me through that final day just enough to make sure everything is OK before my brain goes dormant for 24 hours.

Yes, my days off are that important to me and I relish every moment I have of not doing a damn thing meaningful. Of course by the time tomorrow rolls around I'm sure I will have a list of things to do, given by myself or my significant other...you know they always have a few things you can do for them.

With the Pope in town today we were actually kind of slow. I wont complain about a slow night every once in a blue moon, so long as it is only that. We sold an overwhelming amount of Mahi today, and yet again, someone ordered it medium rare. This time, however, I made it as ordered...and it got sent back. Amazing! What do you say to that?? The guest asked for it to be brought up to medium at that point. No harm no foul, if you know my stance on serving Mahi medium rare, sent out a moment later as the guest requested.


By Sunday I should have more details on the upcoming Chili Cook-Off sponsored by DC101 as well as my graffiti art show in NYC with friends The Higher Concept. I just got confirmation that the date was set in stone for June 8th. Now it's on The Mad Chef to come up with a few different appetizers to entertain the masses, I cant wait!!
