What's Cooking? Plenty!

Pour yourself a beverage, sit back, and take your mind off the state of the world for a while with these fascinating videos.  WARNING:  May cause acute hunger pangs in sensitve individuals.  And everyone else.

1. Short Order Cookery (1973) - This vocational training film shows how one man can cook everything, all at the same time.  Who knew that griddles had different heating sections?

2. Give Your Eggs a Break (1966) - Another vocational film, with some comedy relief thrown in.

3. Spider (197x) - Kenneth Osgood, a former Golden Gloves boxer, was a phenomenal short-order cook at a diner in New Hampshire. When you watch this film, you'll understand how he got the nickname of "Spider."

4. New Jersey's Busiest Diner (2021) - A look behind the scenes at a ginormous diner with 125 staff in the kitchen, serving 15,000 meals a week.  I know M.P. will love the mountain of disco fries, an old favorite of his - I like them too.  We also love chicken and waffles, a Southern treat that goes back at least to the 1920s.
