| In the backwaters of Louisiana, the place to eat was at Kalper's Kitchen, where unique and delicious fare could be found. Food prepared by the man, Kalper himself. He was always the force blowing full bore around his kitchen, letting no one and nothing get in his way. |
Sadly, a short
new sous chef, Whittier, was ignorant, and stumbled into the kitchen
whereupon Kalper promptly skewered Whittier with his newest blade, a nine-inch Miyabi Birchwood.
A squelched
scream gurgled. Hearing the thud, Kalper's three brothers,rushed in to grab Whittier by his Nike sneakers, and drag him to the
freezer.
One muttered, “Damn! That’s the third one this
month."
They tossed Whittier onto the heap of Alvin,
Sanders, and Simon. “Damn shame.”

Also, many thanks to Delores at Under the Porch Light who started this writing stir up, and to Elephant's Child who took up the slack when Delores' computer went all wonky.
Go on, with it! Fling yourself out into the unknown!

Snort... I wonder, does Kalper use those sous chefs for experimental BBQ?
ReplyDeleteHmmm...so many possibilities.
Deletelol hopefully they at least got paid well
ReplyDeleteThat is a good question.
DeleteHave to watch what's in their meat
ReplyDeleteThe secret is in the sauce.
DeleteKalpers or Scalpers?
ReplyDeleteWell, actually, calpers is some sort of abbreviation for California teacher pension. I decided to make it Kalpers, since his sous chefs have a short employment programs.
DeleteMaybe a little strange, I know.
Whittier (and his predecessors) really needed to understand that he said what he meant, and meant what he said. And the kitchen is no place for slow learners.
ReplyDeleteOne would think they would get a clue, eventually. A small restaurant kitchen has confined space. Accidents happen.

ReplyDeleteYikes! Perilous gig.
ReplyDeleteSome jobs should have Workman's Comp.
DeleteSkewered! Ouch! Great use of the words, I love it. But now I'm wondering about the barbecued ribs..........whose are they? Man or beast?
ReplyDeleteThat is a big question.
DeleteThey should put warnings on the job application :)
ReplyDeleteIf I were looking for a sous chef job, I'd check up North.
Delete...and I was getting hungry!
ReplyDeleteThis was great!
I'd love some Southern catfish right about now.
DeleteYikes. He's a little testy, isn't he?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to get in his way, figuratively or literally.
DeleteBrilliance usually brings about madness. That's why I'm glad I'm no genius a'tall. :)
ReplyDeleteThat seems to be the truth with some brilliant people in history, doesn't it.
DeleteI am popping in from River's blog to see what you did with the words...
ReplyDeleteWow! Well done! (Well, maybe not from Whittier's perspective!)
Yes, Whittier never saw that one coming. Short life.
DeleteThis is really a wonderful post.
