the fourteen table restaurant is named after the largest river in europe, starting from the black forest in germany and flowing into the black sea, according to stanislaus. danube has a staff of eight, if you count rafi, the manager. but from what i've observed, his job is to sit at his friends' tables, eat their food, drink their wine (which is literally theirs, danube doesn't serve alcohol) and talk enthusiastically in bulgarian. two servers work each shift, along with a dishwasher, rafi, and the only cook who works every shift, rafi's mother. a womyn in her late fifties, rafi's mom cooks all the dishes from the doumas to the chopska. mmm and it's all fresh eggplants and zuccinis and homecooked. the bread is always served warm, fresh from the oven, and the tarator is a guest favorite.
i trained today and i start tomorrow. a sweaty job hunting day well repayed.
