Blog For Snack Shack

                Working in the snack shack is a great experience in the real world of cooking as a business. I remember working as a cook back in the day, and it was really difficult because I didn’t have the skills necessary to succeed. But working in the snack shack helped me learn how to work in the high speed environment of a cook.

 

                Last time in the snack shack, I worked as the grill master, grilling hot dogs, hamburgers and cheeseburgers. I learned some valuable tips from pro cook Hoagland that helped me cook burgers and hot dogs correctly. Hot dogs are already precooked when we get them, so the way we cook it is by cutting it in half, and then cooking it on both sides, this helps it heat up faster, and gives a better crunch on the skin, which apparently people enjoy. Then on the burgers, I have to wait until the juice pools on the top before I flip it. To ensure that the burger is cooked all the way through. I’m sure that those tips helped me become a better, and more efficient chef.
