day Three at Ten Tables Cambridge

Day three at TT C....

Ripping the tiles off of an old floor can be tiring work. Nothing reminds you of that fact more than waking up the day after working on a floor with bruises on your hands and shoulders that are so sore it feels like you might have swam across the english channel. 

With the floors cleared the next part of our job was to clean and paint the walls. As you can see from some of the before and after photos below the addition of a little paint can be quit dramatic. 

Chef dave needs his tums to ease that stomach through these stressful times of opening a new restaurant. As you can see though they make him happy.

Let The Construction Begin

Dave and I got to work today on ripping up the kitchen at the new Ten Tables. Floors needed to be pulled up and the walls needed a lot of elbow grease to get ride of all the kitchen grease left
behind by the last inhabitants. The stove is in great shape, as long as you don't look behind it, the floors are a mess, and a lot of the walls have a lot of crap on them.

Luckily the stove is in pretty good condition... the rest of the kitchen is another story....














The scary dishwasher....


Day One at Ten Tables Cambridge


The owner of Ten Tables in Jamaica Plain, Krista Kranyak,  just recently purchased the old Craigie Street Bistrot spot in Cambridge along with current chef of the JP location David Punch. This will be my blog of my experience working for Dave and Krista as their sous chef. 
Enjoy.
