My Last Day

Today was my last day at interning at Ruth's Chris.  During this internship, I have learned so much about the food and beverage industry, how the restaurant business works in the back and front of the house, plus how to coordinate events. I loved getting to work in the kitchen but then also being able to shadow a server. It was pretty amazing to see the whole process from start to finish and that was definitely a highlight in my time here. This year I will be studying Hospitality and Business Management, I can put all my new experiences and education from here into my studies.  Now that I finally have some actual experience in the industry I could now be more excited for starting school! This internship has definitely set me up for success in my future!
See you later! -Jenny

Busy in the Pastry Department

Today I worked with Michael the Pastry Chef.  He showed me the in and outs of getting all the desserts prepped, mixed, cooked, and presented.  We made two types of cheesecakes, creme brulee explosion cake and our famous bread pudding.  For the cheesecakes I learned how to make and shape all the crusts for the cheesecake to go inside.  After all of that I got to practice writing in chocolate for the Happy Birthday & Happy Anniversary plates.  Its a lot harder then you'd think it would be!!  This was definietly a great days and I learned a lot about all the hard work are put into these delicious pastries!!
Until next time -Jenny
