When I decided to go to culinary school, I had this vision of walking in and just having different food all over the place.  That, however is not always the case.  It seems that as we near the end of each phase, you could walk into any walk-in cooler or reach in cooler and find that there is absolutely nothing as far as food products go.  I understand that the ordering goes down to make sure we use the product we have on hand, but just find it ironic.  It reminds me of my refrigerator at home.
