....It was my first shift alone in a busy kitchen and I suddenly understood why all chefs I'd ever worked with hated front of the house. It took every part of me not to fling a pizza cutter across the kitchen like ninja star.
From Crying in H Mart
...I was fired and he was promoted. When I called my mom for a little sympathy, incredulous that the restaurant would fire such an industrious and charming worker as myself, she replied, "Well, Michelle, anyone can carry a tray.
