We almost always come into the "office" on Monday mornings - even though the restaurant is closed for the day. We've always got plenty of paperwork to do, orders to place, calls to make. Yesterday was one of those Mondays, and thank god. When we got here a little after nine, we noticed a little "frost" on the beer in the walk-in...never a good sign. The walk-in refrigerator was on the verge of becoming a walk-in freezer: the temperature was at 30 degrees and falling.
We shut it off and placed an S.O.S. to Glenn Morton, who arrived within minutes and replaced the failing thermostat. We lost some lettuce and the above bottle, which contained water with a thermometer in it that monitors the temperature... Just about everything else was fine...oh, those few tomatoes in there didn't survive...and I imagine we'll come across some other things that didn't like the chill, but for the most part we were very, very lucky that we had come to work yesterday morning. Glenn said it could have continued to cool down to the teens, and that would have been a huge disaster to walk in to on Tuesday morning.
