Tip The Cook

It is the time of the year to tip your cook. If you are eating at a restaurant and your meal is exceptional - steak or fish cooked just right, etc, consider tipping the cook(s). Ask your server how many cooks are on the "line" - those that are cooking your meal per order, typically 2 or 3 or four. Send them back 5 bucks a piece. 5 bucks is a lot of money for a cook - they get about 10 bucks an hour, maybe 12 if it's a really good restaurant. 5 bucks is almost a pack of smokes or a beer after work. It will be much appreciated. They will be high fiving on the" line."

Merry Christmas!
