Questions: Have you ever worked in a restaurant?
Do you remember your last part-time job?
Your muffins always look so delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt is a blessing to have a job which you love, I work part time in a Loccitane beauty boutique, it is a natural french cosmetic brand, I loved their products before I started to work there, now I love them even more. But the problem is that this way I spend more money in my work than I earn! Before that I used to work in Zara, it wasn't bad but this is much closer to my heart and I just love the products and the interior of the store.
I've never worked in a restaurant or a caffee, because I am scared of being awkward and pouring everything on people.
I've worked in a bunch of restaurants - serving food, and cooking food. If you find the right place, it's a great job to learn a lot and meet great people. (And make good money if you're waiting tables.) I actually spent this summer waiting tables two nights a week - my most recent part-time job. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm working in a restaurant at the moment! Love to do. I really like your vieuw at your life. 'as long as its holding water, it wont matter if its half-full or half-empty' Really like this one!

My last part time job WAS at a restaurant!! I was a server at a steakhouse! Fun work, really good (but bad for you) food!
ReplyDeleteI have NEVER worked in a restaurant. I don't think I'd be cut out for it. Its seems way too fast paced for me, I would probably stress out waaaay too much! I like focusing on one thing at a time. Except when I'm cooking, then I love having 5 things going at once :)
ReplyDeleteI'm also considering taking a trip to Victoria for the sole purpose of having a Green Cuisine muffin!!! Also the chance of seeing you!!
Have a great day beautiful :)
I worked at a restaurant for several months after graduating from college and I absolutely LOVED it.
ReplyDeleteHaha if you count McDonalds as a restaurant then yes, but I didn't last very long there...it is THE worst place to work in the world, and I'd never ever do it again!
ReplyDeleteSarah x
LOL...I worked at Outback Steakhouse....I was a vegetarian then too, OMG!! I was in college, starting my personal training business, needed flexible hours, cash money...disgusting food there...HATED that job! I WISH we had a 100% Vegan Restaurant around here! I am telling you, Kelsey, I am vacationing to Victoria just for Green Cuisine, maybe we'll bump into each other bearing muffins ;-)
ReplyDeleteI worked in a Sub shop when I was 14 until age 16, then I moved to a retail job :)
ReplyDeleteMy last part time job was working for Jenny Craig -- I was a counselor for the clients trying to lose weight. I would weight them, measure them, talk to them about exercise, meal planning, etc. It was fun sometimes but awful at the same time.
i want to eat at green cuisine!! i was a waitress at a truck stop when i was 18. bad idea!! my last part time job was in the computer dept at best buy. however, since college i've been working in my career field: biology so that's nice and i enjoy it very much!
ReplyDeleteOoooh! I want to eat there! All your food looks SO GOOD!
ReplyDeleteI helped out a friend at the restaurant she worked at for 2 nights. I am NOT cut out for it!! :)
ReplyDeleteI never did the restaurant circuit. I was more of a retail gal. I think the idea of waiting tables gave me anxiety. Although my friends always had way more cash than I did... lol
ReplyDeleteOmg, I waitressed in a restaurant for about 3 years and that was the worst job I ever had. Hated it. Now I'm always super nice to waiters and waitresses, unless they're super snobby.
ReplyDeleteGosh yes, restaurant, bakery, catering...you name it food wise and I worked there. What I can't get over with their muffins is the top on it. I want the top so badly! I am making blueberry muffins (I think tomorrow)...again, because of you!
ReplyDeleteOmg I checked out the menu for Green Cuisine it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI think I've made a note to self to try baking your muffins, because I have no idea where I could find those babies. :]
I used to work at Benihana? It was fun because the server's were young and cool. I ate a whole lot of sushi during my stint there.
Green Cuisine looks like an awesome restaurant w/ amazing baked goodies!
ReplyDeleteI worked at a restaurant 3 years ago as a waitress, and it was really stressful! I don't think I'd ever like a waitress job again. I was also a barista, which was more fun. :-)
Giant Muffin Top!!! hahaha looks very moist and yum!
ReplyDeleteI have never worked in a restaurant before...but I always hoping to open my own!
My last part time job was Express! Do you have those up north? It's this fantastical clothing store. About 95% of my wardrobe is still from that store... :)
ReplyDeleteAnd for the record every time you post about Green Cuisine I think of that one super deformed muffin you had that one time...makes me laugh.
Kelsey I think I need to come live with you in Canada :P That muffin looks super moist and delicious!
ReplyDeleteI've never worked in a restaurant and i've never actually had a part time job! I jumped straight into working for myself
I worked at Panera Bakery during the first 6 months of my college years...and believe me, the muffins weren't nearly as tasty as yours look! I had a great experience though and was able to take home a lot of leftover bagels!
ReplyDeletesometimes I think this blog should be called the muffin girl
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your muffins. The green cusine needs to open a store in TX.
Aww it's such a cute place!
ReplyDeleteI have never worked in the food industry but I have worked for the Seattle Mariners Baseball Club, Skyhawks sports camps and now I'm nannying :)
My last part-time job was working in an arena hot dogs, french fires and candy! Not exactly vegetarian, vegan or healthy... yikes!
ReplyDeleteI do really enjoy the food service industry though :) It was awesome to greet everyone with a smile and grab them whatever they asked for. Plus, I love making/prepping food so it was enjoyable :)
... that muffin? Omghsgfjfdjkdsnmfjkdsm!!
<3 Tat
I worked as a hostess at a roadhouse-type restaurant last summer and I didn't really like it. I'm sure if I had a chance to work at a place like Green Cuisine though I would love it! I would much rather work in a quaint little place like that!
ReplyDeleteI still can't get over the size of those muffins!!
ReplyDeleteYep - started in the restaurant biz at age 16 as a bus girl, became a server when I was 18, and worked until about 28 - always as a second job.
When my husband got laid off in 2005, I went back working at a private supper club - awesome money - I was making about $200 a night and I worked 5 nights a week.
Totally saved us for the 10 months he was out of work, but working a day job on top of that was a bit tiring!
I wish that I had a restaurant like that around here. Those muffins look incredible!
ReplyDeleteI worked at a place called Tippins, which served all kinds of pies. It was before my ED so I tried them all!
Seriously I want your muffins so bad! They always look absolutely AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeletexo
I've never worked in a restaurant but when I move to the city for university next year I think I'm going to try and get a job as a waitress. There's been times when I've had the opportunity to (3 times!) but I always get nervous and back out.
ReplyDeleteMiss Kelsey? When I finally make my way down to Victoria we absolutely must do a meet up and go to Green Cuisine!
That muffin looks amazing! This would be a great part-time job. My last one was at a gym for pre-schoolers, teaching gymnastics classes and working birthday parties.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of that restaurant. It has great curb appeal!
ReplyDeleteI worked at Dairy Queen, and I liked it! It was fun. The hubby worked there too (we worked there through high school and university) and we reminisce about it often :-)
oh lordy, that muffin looks amazing, goji berry??awesome! There is restaurant called the Greenery that reminds me a lot of the restaurant in your pic. Kind of pricey but raw and delicious! I worked in a bar, but never with straight food in a restaurant. I liked it.
ReplyDeleteFinally! we get to meet the place from where those lovelymuffins and scrumptious take out boxes come from!!! hehe
ReplyDeleteI'm working in a restaurant right now actually. I used to be the hostess and I hated it, it was too boring! now I'm the bartender and love every single minute ;)
What was your position on green cuisine?
seriously, why are all the best restaurants in your neighbourhood? lol....not fair! :)
ReplyDeleteand yeah, i worked in restaurants for 10 years before i realized i HATED it! the worst was having customers complain about the stupidest things. i still remember one guy who found a lemon seed in his pasta and wanted a free meal out of it. i mean, are you serious??? apparently, he hurt himself biting into it. RIGHT......anyways.... :P
I never worked in a restaurant, but I always wanted to. Instead I got a part-time job at a deli when I was in high school. Now I'm a vegetarian, coincidence? I think not :)
ReplyDeleteoh what a cute place! Some of my favorite jobs have been in the food industry!
ReplyDeletewhat a cute place! i can understand why you like it so much. i have never worked in an actual resturaunt before. i really love my job at the foodie store right now tho :) it is so fun to be around quality chow all day long.
ReplyDeleteI worked in a DQ and a Dunkin Donuts. Ack. I shudder to think about it now.
ReplyDeleteI also worked in a hotel as front desk clerk, and there was a restaurant inside. It was a great, high end place, and I made friends with the chefs so they would let me try out experimental dishes all the time! A huge perk!
Then, I spent A LOT of years working in bakeries as a cake decorator. My life has really revolved around other people's sugar addictions!
Thx for the blog comment :) I have never worked in a restaurant, but my hubby has when he was younger. I think working in a bakery would be very dangerous for me haha I love baked goods!! There's nothing better than a warm muffin and a bowl of fruit in the morning!!
ReplyDeleteThat restaurant sounds right up my ally :)
ReplyDeleteI used to work at Ruby Tuesday & it wasn't my favorite job lol. And wayyy back in the day I worked at a snowball stand (I made snowcones) and it sounds a little ridic now but I was making serious bank! lol
Why did you stop working there? It looks like a wonderful muffin......er, place :)
ReplyDeleteI'm working at the first job I've ever had now. It's not that great, but in this economy, I can't be too picky. It's part time, and it pays so I"m happy!
<3 Tori
One of my favorite jobs was when I was working at a coffee shop. I had to get up early every day to bake cookies and muffins before we opened our doors
ReplyDeleteI love that there are so many vegan and vegetarian restaurants popping up. It also goes to show that vegan can taste delicious!
ReplyDeleteThose muffins look amazing! Wish I had one right now.
I worked at a Friendlys once and it was a nightmare!!! I think I lasted about a month. Otherwise I stuck to coffee shops for a part time job while I was in school. Much nicer environment!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! I love big, vegan muffins!
ReplyDeleteI worked at a Don Pablos for a summer. Met a lot of cool people and had tons of fun. Then I worked at a Jamba Juice and eventually managed it for a year during college.
I currently have a part-time job at a running store so I get free running gear. Woo hoo!
I worked in a mexican restaurant during my summers and winters when I was home from college. Just thinking about it right now stresses me out. It was extremely EXTREMELY fast paced and i don't ever want to do it again lol!
ReplyDeleteThose muffins are ENORMOUS! Just how I like my muffins to be :)
ReplyDeleteI served in two italian restaurants - I hated it. People mistakenly think you are their slave. Noooo thanks.
Such a cute little restaurant! Looks like a cool place to work too!
ReplyDeleteI have never worked in a restaurant because I don't think I am suited for the demands of he public! I like being behind my desk drowning in paper work!!
Oh wait - I worked at Tim Hortons on weekends when I was in high school! I HATED the uniforms and liked the free coffee!
Mmm muffins are awesome :)
ReplyDeleteI still only have a part time job! Teaching little kids how to swim...which is very tiring, surprisingly.
oh my - that muffin looks perfect :)
ReplyDeleteThat place looks and sounds fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI've never had a restaurant job. I've only worked with kids as a teacher or in a daycare or as a nanny. The only job I've had besides that was Hobby Lobby. Ick.
I went to culinary school, that says it all! I hated doing restaurants! so now I'm a private chef and I tech kids cooking at schools.
ReplyDeleteI've never worked in a restaurant before, although I did work as a barista for awhile in college - so maybe that counts?
ReplyDeleteCan you please mail me one of those muffins? thanks;)
I never get sick of your monster muffin pics! And yes, I have worked in a restaurant...several times. I think everyone should at least once. It's...character-building. And yep, I have a PT job right now. I need some consistent cash flow rolling in to supplement the phases that my freelance work is slow.
ReplyDeleteOMG that muffin. Epic. Pure muffin perfection.
ReplyDeleteI've never worked in a restaurant but I've worked in a burger stall at our local farmer's market in the past, and I worked in the deli in a gourmet grocery store one summer as well. So working with food but not exactly restaurants. My last (and current) part time job is bookkeeping :)
If you worked in this place and STILL want to go back there, it truly is a testament to how awesome it is!
ReplyDeleteThat muffin looks AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, that muffin looks particularly delicious!! I used to work at a coffee shop and it was a lot of fun. Lots of free drinks and chatting with the customers!
ReplyDeleteI was a server for several years after high school and right up until I went to student teach. Despite the occassional crazy customer, it was fun and I really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteI've worked in a bar for a week. I admire the people who work in food service b/c it is so difficult & people can be so mean!
ReplyDeleteGreen Cuisine sounds like a great place! I love the idea of spelt muffins, and they look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI have worked with food since I was 12, OMG in 5 years that will be 50 years.....yikes!
Oh, yes...I waitressed for more years than I'd like to count! LOL That Green Cuisine sounds spectacular!
ReplyDeletei've worked in a number of restaurants (as a hostess and a waitress) and my first job was at a health food restaurant that reminds me of green cusisine. i was so clueless!!!
ReplyDeleteMy first part time job outside of my dad's window business, was a child caretaker for 16 crazy 1-4 year olds at a daycare. That's hard work.
