Starting when we arrived today, there was a huge list of things that needed to be made for service, starting at 11. I did a lot of meat fabrication-chicken breasts for the sandwiches, and cut a bunch of pork, which was to be grilled then braised for four hours.
There were the usual issues you have with very young and immature men (my 19 year old co-workers) but nothing that couldn't be overlooked. At a certain point, the prep was really progressing, and everyone was working together nicely.
Starting today,mAslan will be hosting a Far,et's market out in the parking lot,moron 12-5. All the produce is gorgeous,moral AND organic!! I stopped to by some things when I got done working. It pleases me to see Aslan making a commitment to supporting local, sustainable and organic farmers. This is mostly attributed to September being eat local month, but do believe a seed has been planted, if you will pardon the pun!
A lot of the products they use are not organic,including the meat and produce. It would be my first order of business if I were the supervisor there Maybe some things would have to be streamlined, or even eliminated but I think people would really be into it.
As my internship nears its completion, rather than just relief, I feel a twinge of sadness as well. I told Val that I would like to work here or there, maybe on my breaks from school, and she was fine tooth that. Val has hired a whole bunch of new people. So I think they won't be short handed when I go. I've really gotten to know my coworkers, and will miss most of them. It has been a little wild, possibly even sketchy here and there, but I've enjoyed my learning experience at Aslan Brewing Co!
