Standing Room only is probably the best job I have ever had. It was my first culinary job and I couldn’t have been more excited to be the assistant chef. SRO may seem like a very nice small gourmet shop, but there is a lot more behind the scenes than meets the eye. Not only is everything made in house by the Johnson and Wales graduate and chef, but he also has to manage the out of house operations. Yes, this means that SRO caters and wonderfully at that. The party could be for ten people, or 400 it does not matter as long as you put in your order and are willing to pay the bill. The store is organized beautifully by the intelligent and highly trained staff, which is over seen by CIA graduate Jack T. You can be assured that whether you order one of their specialized wraps, fish plates, fresh cookies, or fruit platters that everything will be pristine and on time. They deliver and set up, which takes away all of the pressure. Just a walk and a talk and let the aroma consume you.
