Turn and Burn

We did just under 400 covers for Valentine's Day last night. This is just about double our average number of covers. It was probably easier than most nights too. I think it was mainly due to our total over-prepping of mise en place, and the fact that we were operating on a special prix fixe menu. Our pantry station only had to deal with two salads, and two desserts, plus the occasional kid's sundae or split. Easy night. The restaurant next to us had something like 900 reservations. Don't know if all 900 showed, but either way, that would not be fun. We had two proposals in our place, both took place during dessert, of course. I'm assuming both said yes. I didn't hear any gossip from the waitstaff that told me otherwise. All in all, it was a pretty good night.
