Notes and thanks: So here yo have my first foray into writing J2. It's taken an INCREDIBLY convoluted path to get posted. It started out as a 1500-word original ficlet for pyrebi (who is nearly always to blame for everything I write) back in October. Then I decided to make it my NaNo, an original buddy comedy with no slash. Then in December I went "fuck it, I'm gonna do it J2 after all" and finished it by the end of Jaunary. I posted it to my journal, filtered for pyrebi to read, and went to find myself a beta. Got a beta. And then about six weeks passed with no word from said beta, despite my emailing her asking if everything was okay. So here it is, mid-March and I'm FINALLY posting.
So huge thanks to pyrebi, looleebelle, and bobbinrob! No, seriously. Thank you!
I'm not a chef myself (nor would I ever want to be!) but I've worked in restaurants my whole life (it's sort of the family business). If I consulted any outside sources besides, like, wikipedia, I've forgotten in the four months it's been since I wrote this. I'm also not from Chicago, so I'm sorry if I've gotten that beautiful, wonderful city all wrong.
I've also put together a glossary of food and industry terms that might not be familiar to everyone. You might want to take a look at that before you read.
