Chapter 17 First Day Of Work

• Ember
• I'm feeling pretty great and nervous. It was my first day of work in the kitchens of Moonlight, and I am determined to learn as much as I can. I went from being a leader, to having to learn again, but I am determined to rise up in the ranks to become top chef. I do plan on looking into a school here in Miami so that I can finish my degree. Leaving the culinary school in Tallahassee was hard, but it was to keep myself safe here.
• I put on my outfit that I received from Jax. We were going to be riding together to go to work today. He said it was so we wouldn't have to burn the same gas to go the same distance. I was pretty happy with this arrangement. My outfit was all white short sleeve chef coat and white pants to match. Red buttons ran down the chef's coat. I had my hair in a back ponytail with a hair net over it. It was a requirement for those with long hair to keep it pulled back with a hair net to keep it in place. I looked perfect. Jax's outfit was a black button-down collar shirt tucked into black slacks, with his black shoes. He had a name tag pinned to his right side and wore a red belt. I loved how everything was color coded, so you can tell who is who. The chefs wore all white. The servers wore all black, and the hosts/greeters wore white shirts tucked into black pants. The cleaners wore all gray. Jax and I arrived about 30 minutes earlier than normal, which was fine with me. It would give me a feel of the kitchen before anyone had arrived for work. I walked through the big kitchen, marveling at everything that was in place perfectly, from the knives to the plates. There were so many stove stops and grills. There were about four huge refrigerators and freezers. In the middle of the kitchen was a huge prep table with many cutting knives on the side.
