Salmon Crudo

Not at all. It's a strange situation. We hemorrhage money. The thing is, the company I work for has a major restaurant in our city, but makes most of it's money doing catering. It is a catering company, first and foremost. We run the cafe so that they get by default every function and event that takes place at the museum (which also has really amazing gardens). So we're basically just filling space so that the company can do three or four $20,000 events a month at this establishment. As I said previously, it's a strange gig. This is the first time I've ever worked in a kitchen where labor and food cost were just sort of...inconsequential. So we service the twenty or thirty people a day who are visiting the museum and want to stop in for a grilled cheese sandwich or sala, and once a week i make three or four tapas that are delicious and beautiful but nobody buys because they just want a grilled cheese sandwich or macaroni and cheese. I changed the pricing to $6 for our tapas this week to see if it would make any difference in what people bought. It didn't. I did this salmon crudo, for six dollars, and sold two.
