Like every other aspiring sous-chef regardless of previous experience, I started on the garde manger line on the right side of the kitchen, where salads and cold fish dishes are made.
CLAUDIA FLEMING, the pastry chef who left Gramercy Tavern to work for Pret a Manger, the London-based sandwich chain, has returned to the kitchen.
But the mission of Social Bite – whose food costs about the same as Pret a Manger and Eat – is to be much more than an upmarket soup kitchen.
Though we had to shout over the gunshots ringing out in the chorus of M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes," my dining companions and I were impressed that a place as rollicking as Garde Manger chooses to pay attention to what's coming out of the kitchen.
District manger: Arthur Strickler.
Aside from dining room and kitchen managers, there are only four of us in the office managing these three locations - Lucy and I and the finance and H.R. mangers we hired.
The word will be "manger".
But Manger is darkly winking.
In Manger Square, shopkeepers often outnumber visitors.
