    damn! you’re making me miss my time working at an Italian place. nothing fancy but I’d always cook up some pasta dish before close. usually was ravioli with spicy sauce (kinda like blush), Kalamata olives, and this stuff we called curry seasoning (idk it was just a bunch of spices). 10/10

    The only closing snacks we get are cigarettes in the parking lot

    I would not want to give myself an extra dish to scrub at close lol

    the Enchilada is one of God’s perfect foods that He blessed us with to show His love

    Oh god I just made enchiladas yesterday and now I’m maybe making them today also.

    Fuck me I almost dusted my whites off from storage and applied.

    I used to love the tacos and fresh refried that the crew would make us during cleanup. Some of the best food I’ve eaten was cooked while breaking down a kitchen.

    Absolutely a closing snack. Good man! (Or whomever)

    I got heartburn just looking at that – which means it’s probably the bomb

    I remember being a young, bright, excited server for the first time. And the first time the kitchen staff made us all dinner at the end of shift it was teriyaki wings, to eat and some to take home. I’d never had anything so delicious.

    Gotta say, if I had been offered enchiladas I might hold those guys in even higher esteem in my memory. XD

    (Kidding, of course. They went out of their way to feed me consistently at a time in life when I was broke and vulnerable as hell, like a kitchen full of chain smoking, tattooed, cranky ass older brothers.)

    Half-baked Imo’s pizza driven from St. Louis by our executive chef to the Chicago suburbs. We’d finish baking it in our wood oven and send it off to BoH and FoH together for the night.

    Closing snacks have been rare in my 20+ years experience. A native, I obviously love Chicago tavern style pizza, but St Louis’ Imo’s has a special thing going. Was even better when it’s your boss bringing it personally after a good weekend shift.

  14. OrganizedChaos65

    Looks great. At the end of the night though, heartburn on the way……

  15. bakedBeansalad

    Work is coming home with you that night 💩

    Look, I’m not even gonna front: this is the type of snack that’ll get all the servers blushing and flirting with you 

  17. unwell34

    Hell yeah! I’d be stoked to have those when I finished closing up.

  18. RoeMajesta

    your place closes when people still have the will to make more food?!

    looks good

  19. immersemeinnature

    Gods I need this so bad right now

    That looks like love.

    I’m here coz you lot are as funny as hell.

    One of my jobs I always worked with the same crew every Wednesday evening for a few years; and it was the absolute best crew.

    We always had food, good food. I’m Aussie but one of us came from Arizona, so his tex mex was great for us.

    I named us the love shift, and they’re still my equal fave crew to have ever worked with.
