Nice to see everyone enjoys music as much as myself. But, I have to say, after working in numerous kitchens for numerous chefs and one stint where I was el hefe grande, I like working sans music. When I was in charge I allowed music and in return dealt with all the problems that come with it. I have noticed that I can personally concentrate better without background music. I guess I don't mind it as much during prep but when service starts...all quiet for me!
