Dell'z California Grill: The Intern

Location: Dell'z California Grill

For at least the past two years I have been cooking in the kitchen at Dell'z California Grill under Chef Rhandell Molina and his brother Ryhan. Ever since I started, they had me cooking on the line and preparing meals for the customers. One time I even had the opportunity to cook for a wedding party and busted out the chicken dish for the bride and groom. I suppose they have some trust in me becasue they allow me to do almost all of the tasks that need to be done. While at the restaurant, I have learned many skills and techniques by the chefs and cooks that work there. The restautant is quite small and there is a lot of help being passed around. Although I am just in High school, the guys at the restaurant are extremely encouraging and helpful.
I do not get paid (and I definitely don't mind) but in return, I get much of the knowledge pertaining to kitchens and food from the cooks and chefs and I often get to make my own lunch and dinners (One time chef had even let me cook myself a dry aged ribeye which was easily one of the best steaks I have ever eaten). My experiences at Dell'z California Grill has fueled my inspiration of becoming a chef one day. Although during dinner hours, it may get really busy and I may be disoriented, it is totally worth it because it is what I love and I keep coming back for more for that sense of accomplishment and satisfaction of serving a dish. I am forever grateful for the staff and Molina family for allowing me to learn and cook under their guidance.
