The great chefs of this country from Madrid Fusion recommend measures to withstand the crisis that plagues us to begin to reduce the excesses. I personally agree with his thesis, which many people thought that the luxury gourmet restaurants would not notice too the effects of the crisis. They believed that his customers purchasing high-level does not affect this time. Unfortunately appears that these ideas were totally wrong for now that the storm really begins to increase steadily, we find that the harsh reality is that most people notice their effects. From Madrid Fusion
recommend us to lower prices and therefore intend to work with gender are cheaper, but always fresh and never poor. For this idea to be proposed the use of creativity, imagination and good taste as weapons to make gender more affordable dishes worthy of a letter from a gourmet restaurant and is able to tweak a little to low prices.
I personally believe that this solution may be valid even that is not without controversy, it is normal that many top restaurateurs think that the cure can be worse than the disease if they lower the quality of the genres they are used to their regular customers. Maybe the solution is in trying to find a middle way touch the cards in these establishments continue to offer these kinds of expensive luxury that customers are accustomed to, but at the same time offer more affordable alternatives.
this line is the recipe that I propose below. It is a puff pastry with foie gras and mango pulp mounted brik, whose land cost does not exceed € 3.20, which would allow us to offer it as a cold starter of our menu to a price about 9 €. In this way we would have an operating margin in the dish of 68%. As this is a dish made with foie think is not bad. There are two keys. First, the technique of cooking foie vacuum that allows us to minimize the losses, and second the foie used. In this sense to say that so far used foie extra quality micuit for the preparation of this dish, its price may be around 32 € / kg, however this time I've tried it with foie gras 1 st Mark Martiko that round the 26 € / kg and the result has been really good.

entry in this festival also bought well in advance: the last day that lasted the offer of 100 € for two days. This time I made sure not to go alone inviting that at that time was my girlfriend.
I left Madrid on Thursday afternoon, spent the night at my ex in Vitoria, and Friday morning we moved on so far has been the festival has made me most liked. Luckily it had marked all the way from the A-8 because the roads and streets there are super curvy. Despite of the entries made me a buddy who lived next to the BEC in Barakaldo (the official festival parking), if not for the posters I would have missed without a doubt. After parking we took the Metro to the hotel we caught to make things, eat and give prisita to reach Kobetamendi.

When we after we took a bus to San Mames side we climb the mountain, we saw Fito trying to park. He drove a big black car, those that sell American now (probably a Dodge) painted with tacky rock flare. After the story we: Sonata Arctica was playing on stage 1, so we went to the stage 2 to take place to see the Cavalera Conspiracy well as in Getafe touched me see quite far. We got to a safe distance to see them well but not receive Ostia. THE Cavalera Conspiracy traced almost gave a concert at Getafe, with the exception of playing I think Troops of Doom instead of Territory. We we boiled because the sun was pretty strong at that time. I liked a lot, but not my ex because he does not like groups such beasts. Here's an excerpt: Inflikted
Then came the turn of Apocalyptica, and I play to move to scenario 1. APOCALYPTICA
The cellists took to give all accompanied by a drummer and gave everything a man concert. Unsurprisingly people excited about the versions. I like Metallica lover declared ended up delighted. Some say they should not touch them and focus on their own issues, but I think if this gig would RICE half of followers. This was their setlist:
The only thing that bothered me was his performance that put the damn smoke machine and not a moment dimmed (as shown in my video). One
GAMMA RAY
moving stage again to see the "tito Kai", in my opinion one of the best power metal (less pure, whatever is to say). We achieved a good site too and enjoy the great show he gave us. As anecdotes, Kai came to the top with sunglasses and then got rid of them, but the most surprised us was nosed bassist, what Uncle, what energy, he kept quiet. Here's his setlist:
The turn of the Ministry was noisy cenarse perfect time for one of those nasty sandwiches and search site for see Halloween as people were beginning to crowd the stage 2. HELLOWEEN
Pumpkin The show gave thanks to "new" singer (sorry but the time that I liked about this group was when Kai) which is a very funny guy, because he lives in English jabbered Canary and got the audience in his pocket, but his voice does not convince me much. On the rest of the ingredients I can only say that I left because it seemed pretty cool statues, especially one of the guitarists that were it not had to tinker with a foot could have sworn that his feet were glued to the floor. But despite all this the concert I really liked. The bitch was that we missed the great moment when Gamma Ray also left the stage, played I Want Out Kai sung by the audience and threw lots of pumpkin-shaped balloons ... but we had to get a good seat on stage 1 for the legends of metal, Judas, and we took before I started the avalanche. They played these songs:
Finally the time came, the reason I went to Bilbao to see the living legends of heavy metal. Caught a helluva site on the right side of the stage, which was not very full because coming here to go to stage 2 had to turn around the sound tower. And he started the thing: the cover the last record (the face of Nostradamus) as background sounded bright blue while the intro ( Dawn of Creation) and when it was completed and began Prophecy is his eyes lit up in red. Showed all members except one, and we all wondered "where is Halford? As he approached the part of the song in which the climax comes the letter was followed up because Rob does not appear anywhere. And then the miracle of one side of the 2 nd of the 2 plants that emerged on stage consisted fired the God of Metal adorned with the trident is the symbol of their group and not beneath a robe see even one square centimeter of his skin and began to sing. Apotheosis. During the song moving all the attention focused on the 2nd floor of the stage like a rusty robot. With each song changed the background, popping the cover of the disc corresponding to the track played. In Breaking the Law was reached maximum madness, was along with the song Painkiller expected. When they played Death Rob came on stage sitting on a throne also pushed two guys wearing robes that covered his entire body. And the last surprise came with Hell Bent for Leather, as before the song was heard the roar of an engine and we knew what that meant: he would take the bike! And so, through the same door from which he emerged the throne the bike ridden by Halford, wearing a cap and leather jacket with studs. She sang the entire song sitting in the saddle. And that was the best, because for You've Got Another Thing Coming abused enough to make us sing the chorus. KK Downing and Glenn Tipton to say, are amazing, some teachers. very good drummer but spent the whole show by throwing a stick into the air and then did not contain even half (I once saw a worker who approached him to let the hand that had thrown all and had fallen to the ground). Bassist little comment because from my position was not seen and did not move from his corner. Here I put the setlist:
And that was it for the day, because from that we were busted, which I ex does not like Slayer and I already went to see them at the festival in Merida Via de la Plata as it decided to leave. Big mistake. We were not the only and the flood of people to catch buses were fatal. For me it was too hard because I'm used to the Metro in Madrid but for my poor companion Vitoria well ... Of course, the power to go to sleep at the hotel and not have to go to a tent is thanked lot.
And so began a new day. We left the hotel, we took the suitcase to the car, which was in the BEC! Barakaldo, and returned to the center of Bilbao to eat. And after giving a tourist vueltilla we went to the festival site again.

When we were playing Witchcraft or Tesla in scenario 2 and watched from the hillside comfortably seated on the lawn. We realized that the times were quite late by the time you started the group of former Scorpions, Michael Schenker (MSG). During his performance call my ex's uncle, who was patrolling there to be a momentín because it had to be taking place to the legendary performance of Europe. We stand in the same place from which we saw Helloween and prepared to enjoy the show. EUROPE
summarize his performance in one word: disappointment. Very Light I saw the truth. Separate issue was the sound on stage 2 that day, I think reason for delays in the schedule, but still leave us quite cold. They left "song" for the final and most cabreante was that while the initial tuning sounded ... There was no one at the keyboard! Hell, probably the only time in life that I will hear The Final Countdown live and recorded put us tuning ... too bad. These were their songs: Love Is Not The Enemy Always The Pretenders Memories Superstitious Sign of the Times Carrie
Commenting about the etched keypad went quietly to the stage 1 because we did not care much get a good seat to see the hobbit metal and that before the end we were going back to the stage 2 to try to see Blind Guardian best. So we saw the former Black Sabbath sit-on the side. DIO
I had placed much hope in this concert and I was frankly disappointed. As for Ronnie I have nothing to say, his voice is as exceptional as ever, but the group itself did not like for several reasons: in the first songs the instruments sounded much lower than the voice and had no keyboard, leaving orphans background melodies to many issues. His setlist: Holy Diver Killing The Dragon Do not Talk To Strangers Sacred Heart Rainbow In The Dark Temple Of The King (Rainbow) Kill The King (Rainbow) Rock & Roll Children Man On The Silver Mountain (Rainbow) Catch The Rainbow (Rainbow) Long Live Rock Roll (Rainbow)
After Rock & Roll Children returned to the stage 2 and we got in the same place from which we saw Europe. BLIND GUARDIAN
This was the most excited to show my ex because it is the group that likes everyone who went to the festival, and we are quite happy with his performance. Happier if we had left they had not touched paying the price for delays of hours, but that headline never expected. The consequence was that they played almost half an hour less than stipulated. must also say that the lighting was very sad (the stage was practically all the time in penumbra) and the sound of the instruments sometimes fading. We
No sooner was the last great song we went into the race to stage 1 to try to get a good seat to see the Kissing . Had in mind going to the same place where Judas saw yesterday, but the crowds made it impossible. So, to our dismay we were in the same place from which we saw Dio. Luckily there were big screens. KISS
For his performance I have only one definition: The Greatest Show on Earth. They have assembled impressive circus. I recommend without hesitation that if someone has the chance to see them live, although not a big fan like me, the advantage because they never see anything like it on stage. all had their moments of glory (some more than others, you know who's boss here.) All appeared to start falling from the top of the stage on a platform, Paul flew by a zip line above the crowd to the sound tower and sang a song from there, Genne later spit fire and blood, suspended by cables amounted to the top of the stage and sang from there another song, Tommy (Guitar solo) hit a single while throwing his guitar vengalas and Eric (drums) sang a couple of songs while playing as a platform they reached him and his instrument through the air. And as a culmination of all this, for Rock and Roll All Nite a shower of confetti covered everything. Simply spectacular.
For Saxon we no longer had the strength. Had been two days that we had given everything and we look forward to trap the car and get to Vitoria to sleep as soon as possible. During the last song we approached the exit to run away as soon as finished and anticipate the avalanche, and saw something that not everyone has the privilege of seeing, as the way to the buses passed by behind the stage, opened the Kiss fence to leave the enclosure just as we passed us. We were inside the security cordon that she ran to stop the flood of people behind us, so we saw them down the stage, get on a van with tinted windows (one for Genne, one for Paul and a third shared Tommy and Eric, to make it clear who sent it) and move to our side. Great shot for the best festival I've ever been before.
As with the Electric Festival, to see more pictures I refer to the official website section Photos.
In the section of the catering business management we dedicate today to the service space in the room. Everyone knows that the soul of a restaurant is its cuisine, this is true but in many cases a poor room service can greatly tarnish the good work being done in the kitchen.
Many times we eat at reputable establishments observed during the room service staff are committed serious errors and mistakes. The easy solution when we in this situation is the blame on the waiter who is moving from one side to another reserve a good red wine while carrying it to the client or the assistant who can not give a clear explanation to a client. But the truth is that responsibility must fall always in the direction of the establishment and in the middle and as the head waiter, that the safest thing is that in many cases no one has bothered to explain to the waiter as is customary offer the service of wine in that house or that assistant just starting to work, such as when, how and what explanations should be given to customers when asked.
The best way to have all these items checked is clearly defining what type of service is adequate and we give in our establishment, with which human and material resources we have to offer and what tools we to facilitate our team to get it. All this information is captured in a document that call room procedures manual. This manual will collect from the number of tables and seats that have the facility opening hours and closing, type of cuisine on offer, staff have in cinemas, its ranks and jobs assigned to each, etc.. This document likewise include the quality standards we offer to our customers, this will detail carefully from the customer's receiving process, to establish how each of the phases of the service, to the farewell customer. Also incorporate a protocol for handling complaints and claims, one for possible emergency care and minor accidents or incidents that may emerge propientre the customers etc etc.
The procedures manual will be accompanied by such documents annexes all computer tools , bursts, check list , and any type of document barrier to use room service, as photos will be mounted as the bar assembly diagrams of skeletons for Facilities, photos and tables are mounted so.
then provides a link from which you can download a real document as an example of manual procedures. This in particular what I did for a restaurant in Alicante Bol. Missing documents attached but serves to get an idea of \u200b\u200bhow to prepare a manual of procedures for the living room of his establishment.
not hesitate to contact with me by mail any doubt about it. Ideally
in a manual of procedures for each department of our company HR, kitchen, etc. You compare. We must also bear in mind a procedures manual to be a living element that must be correcting and constantly being improved. In the case of the operating room the responsible for the correct application thereof shall be the head waiter.
This time we will see a traditional recipe. This dish is an adaptation of the famous seafood gazpacho manchego made with game birds and hares. In the Alicante coast have been replaced by fish and meat as a result we have this gazpacho sailor.
1 red pepper olive oil. Four tablespoons Pebrella. C / S
First we itch the garlic with the parsley all very fine and reserve.
A Parisian Gazpachera or will the oil and go Fry onion broinoise we will have cut rather fine. When the onions begin to get ready you add the red pepper cut into small squares, squid cut into thin slices and the heads of the prawns. Once the onions and peppers are cooked withdraw the heads of the prawns and they will we get the substance and putting them in a Chinese crushing. The resulting juice will add to the Parisian. now add some tomato sauce and fry all together after a few minutes add the broth to rice, and season Pebrella We started cooking at high heat and then went down to simmer for one hour. After this time add the monkfish pieces and peeled shrimp, cook for 10 minutes and add the cakes. Check the salt, when the cake is soft and spongy have the finished dish.
NOTES The Pebrella is a Mediterranean herb similar to oregano, its aroma is crucial to the outcome of the gazpacho. The amount will employ depends on your taste, but personally I recommend using it in perspective as it is not nice find too much while eating.

Some authorities have decided to fight against accidents at work in hospitality campaigns impressive style of a few years ago used the DGT to reduce traffic accidents.
