Sidewalk Transmission #2 Haute Cuisine at the Hive

I am downtown on my way to the Cathedral de St. Chaleigh. Distraction lures me from my path in the guise of powerful aromas: the food vendors of this city releasing grease scented steam from their alchemical kitchens.
I walk into a restraunt called The Hive, a trendy bohemian spot where small amounts of fashionable food is served on large white platters. It is all about the presentation. I ask the Maitre D for a table, but this stern looking woman insists that I have come here to work.
"This is your part time job" she insists, escorting me back past the mosaic of tables. Hipsters out on the scene dine in an atmosphere of candlelight, buzzing with the overflow of expensive wines.
The staff is busy: hustling, bussing tables, trying to pick their way out of the weeds.
Dodging my way past sizzling saute pans and angry cooks hyped up on adrenaline, I am led to the back of the building.
The owner of The Hive is waiting for me looking smart with black plastic spectacles, lips wrinkled in a smirk.
"You can clean the grills" he says.
There is a whole row of them all covered in the carbon char of burnt flesh. He hands me a wire brush and I go at it grudingly. Still, the cleanliness of the grill IS of prime importance. How can the masses be served when the kitchen is ill kept?
After I empty the ashes I will make my way to the Cathedral de St. Chaleigh, annointed with them.

Scientology Limerick

There once was an alien named Xenu
who told L. Ron Hubbard what he knew
he took Tom for a Cruise
while Katie Holmes snoozed
with cash in his hand he said "see you!"
