Kitchen staff adapt to unplanned guests at Samy's Steakhouse
Samy's Steakhouse faces a surprise banquet swell from 28 to 34, then four more as Brad Nading Vo and Ts plan for extra plates. Sous chef Maria Vazquez and chef Steve Tzul describe rapid prep, with about 16 kitchen staff sustaining a 1000-seat hall and 500-seat banquet rooms. They routinely build in a 10 percent overage to cover unforeseen guests while maintaining steady shifts and teamwork on the line with Carlos Jimenez, who handles line prep and carvings.
