The prep work for NYE is in high gear this morning, with all the day cooks arriving an hour early to get a jump. The whole kitchen crew will be here by 1:00, and the night crew will probably be here until close to midnight. It's a long day, but not without rewards...like Procolino's Pizza for lunch!
Here are a few photos, with captions:
