Product Description
Product Description
The soft music is playing in the background as you enjoy the ambience, the company of another in the warm welcome of the restaurant, anticipating beautiful prepared food. Served by a chiselled Greek god of a waiter who is attentive to your every need, the seventh heaven is briefly yours. Like a theatre, restaurants can be akin to a facade of wonderful, carefully constructed scenery, but behind the scenes the stories are completely different. Imagine listening to a beautifully mastered classical piece of musical genius in the most wonderful of theatres. The scene is set; the crescendo induces chilling feelings in you evoking peace and harmony. The rise and fall of the instruments being played start to descend into an almost silent hum of layered notes, nearly bringing you to tears of emotion. You close your eyes to enhance the beauty...when Old Bert back stage decides to finish of a bit of work, and starts hammering away as loud as he can; whistling in time with the banging because he thought everyone had gone home. Chefs and Turkeys is old Bert with his hammer. Chefs and Turkeys is the backstage of the catering world and just when you thought it was safe to go into another restaurant.
