Had a prep day so smooth it felt like a fever dream
Last Wednesday I came in at 6am to break down a whole pig and a case of monkfish, and somehow every cut was perfect on the first try. Usually I'm fighting with silver skin or slipping on wet floor mats, but that day the knives were sharp, the walk-in was organized, and I was out the door by 11. Anyone else ever had a shift where everything just clicked like that?

Heard a chef say this on a podcast once. @shanec61 is right, just wait.

Wait, you broke down a whole pig AND monkfish in the same prep shift? That's like two totally different worlds of butchery right there. I'm genuinely shocked you didn't end up with pig fat all over the monkfish or something. And you were out by 11? That's insane. I'd be paranoid I forgot something major and start checking my knife roll every five minutes.

Enjoy that day because the universe will balance it out with a hellish one.
