Everyone Wanted To See Gourmet George Cook

The cooking show was almost ready to start. The crowd of people were seated in front of the raised cooking area. Carmen spoke to them for ten minutes until it was time to start the actual show. This was called ‘warming up the audience.’ It was good to see that all the seats were filled this afternoon.

She walked over the set to make sure everything that was needed was in order. Looking over the pots and pans and utensils was part of her job. Soon, the chef, Gourmet George, would rush out on stage after she introduced him. As usual, the audience would respond to the applause sign and the famous cooking show would begin. It would be saved on video and televised next week.

On the granite counter top were knife sets ready to perform every possible chore. Today Gourmet George would be slicing chicken breasts in half to make a new chicken cordon bleu recipe he worked on the previous week. He planned to fill it with the expected bacon and cheese plus one secret ingredient. She made sure the two cutting boards were in place. She wondered to herself what that secret ingredient was.

She put another kitchen knife set on the counter behind the place where he would stand. Sometimes he used two of the same size. It was unlikely he would have the time to wash one to reuse it on the show. Neither of them would. It was another employees job to clean up after the show.

She gave everyone a broad smile and told them how happy they were to have them there. Places everyone she announced to the crew. Next she announced that Gourmet George was on his way out. He came out on stage and smiled as he waved at the spectators. He told them he was glad they were there.

They applauded loudly. He kissed Carmen on each cheek and they chatted for a few minutes. Chef George told everyone what he was cooking for them today. They applauded again. Of course they knew there wouldn’t be enough food for everyone. He did pass out free cookbooks to everyone and that compensated. Carmen stood by waiting. She would help with the preparation of the dish.

She adjusted the position of the wusthof knife set on the gleaming counter. She might have to reach for them and didn’t want to come between the chef and the lens of the camera. They already had the dish prepared and cooking. They would prepare the second one on the show. The first one would be shown to the audience. There was never enough time to wait for the second dish to finish baking while the show was in progress. The smell of albacore tuna was in the air, the crowd was exuberant and it looked like they would have a great show. Carmen knew instinctively that it would turn out well today.
