User:Starvin'Dan

Starvin' Dan was a nickname I picked up while in college. I worked at Hungry Charley's restaurant in Syracuse, NY to help with tuition and living expenses. I started working the night shift on the food line, serving drinks, and after a while, working door security, checking IDs, and keeping the peace. One day, I had an idea - since staff started in the morning to prep for opening around 11, it might be worthwhile to open earlier and serve breakfast. The advertising was fantastic, with "Starvin' Dan the Breakfast Man'' cooking great breakfasts while the rest of the staff prepped for lunch and dinner. We turned a huge profit on breakfast sales (food costs were so low)! The only negative part was I went from closing the bar at 3 a.m., leaving at 5 a.m. to go home to arriving at work @ 6 a.m. to start breakfast. That was a tough transition.
