2025-01-31 16:02:26 +0000 UTCI’m glad you had great management at one of the places you worked. You and Andrea worked Boneyard together? That’s so cool.

2024-03-06 19:49:56 +0000 UTCNever been to any of those places but Chef Brock is on some shows I've seen. He seems like he would be a great but intense boss.

2024-02-12 22:24:20 +0000 UTCYes I actually live just 45 mins from Nashville. Man I bet working for the Beverly Hilton was really good money!!

2024-02-12 10:24:12 +0000 UTCThere's one by me in Northern Kentucky and it was my favorite place for years 20 years ago but now we don't bother with it 😫😫😫 I'm always surprised it's still open.

2024-02-03 00:28:20 +0000 UTCDrew, I worked at the O’Charley’s in Franklin in 1996! Before that in high school I helped to open the first Waffle House in Columbia. Other places I’ve worked include the Brooklyn in downtown Seattle and a variety of places on Lake Pend Oreille in Sandpoint Idaho. I love your work and love that we have common roots! Oh yeah, I also worked in a restaurant on top of a mountain at a ski resort. Rode the chairlift to work and skied down after my shift.

2023-11-14 18:26:33 +0000 UTCOMG I worked at Country Kitchen in the early 90s. Ours was right across the street from a country like dancing bar (remember that trend) and they would flood us after the bar closed. 😂

2023-11-14 16:38:59 +0000 UTCYep, it's where the Golden Globes are always hosted.

2023-11-14 16:34:44 +0000 UTCHaha it didn't work out
Drew Talbert
2023-11-14 16:34:24 +0000 UTCWow!
Drew Talbert
2023-11-14 16:33:50 +0000 UTCBummer! That loaded potato soup was good!
Drew Talbert
2023-11-14 16:33:38 +0000 UTCAll I did was counter at McDonald’s when I was 15, needed money for Duran Duran records. Slipped on grease and fell on my ass delivering a double cheeseburger, hid in the walk-in when a woman ordered 25 Big Macs during dinner rush. But I hit a cool record convention near Chicago after my months of work to start my collection! I still have them to this day, I’m 56.

2023-11-14 00:27:04 +0000 UTCWhoa! That's quite the resume... I'm from the Midwest so I'm not familiar with any of those establishments. I waitressed through hs, college, grad school & my first 5 years teaching at one establishment, but by the time I was finished it felt like I had worked at several more. The owner kept expanding. He went from a very small, pizzaria with only 2 waitresses per shift to a full blown fine dining Italian restaurant with valet service. (lol)

2023-11-13 20:08:19 +0000 UTCIn all fairness, the last manager I worked for was pretty decent, but the damage was done. Ever see an abused animal trying to be rescued? That was me.😔
Gwen
2023-11-13 18:04:14 +0000 UTCThis was actually not part of that chain. It was spelled Capitol. It was a one-off place in this swanky hotel. I’ve never been to a Capital Grill!

2023-11-13 17:36:19 +0000 UTCAll the O Charlie's near me are going out of business and I hate it.

2023-11-13 17:16:14 +0000 UTCI know Carrabba's 😂
Ken Forman
2023-11-13 16:50:37 +0000 UTC10 years at Capital Grille. Severe ptsd from one of our managers who embraced a shame based style. Almost every server over 40 was fired during his tenure and as a female over 40 I was told, “ do you know how hard it is for someone your age to find a job like this?.” In a much better place now. But it did take about three years to not flinch when a manager said my name.
Gwen
2023-11-13 16:13:47 +0000 UTCRound, round, get-around, you got around...I had one server/short order cook job. I swore, NEVER AGAIN. Never have, but it did teach me a lot about human nature, and making fixing for a meal stretch.

2023-11-13 16:07:28 +0000 UTCI know of Blimpie’s. But I’m from the Midwest. Started working at A&W when I was 15 years old (1993), then a waitress at Country Kitchen, then Little Caesar’s until I went to college. Little Caesar’s was my favorite job. I love pizza!

2023-11-13 16:06:49 +0000 UTCI love the "went to work somewhere for two days then went back to my old job" 😂 that's so what I remember from restaurant work😂
Angie Kritenbrink
2023-11-13 16:04:13 +0000 UTCI'm familiar with Blimpie and O'Charleys, (not those specific locations tho), and I've heard of the Beverly Hilton hotel.
