Application Question(s):
- Why Basil & Bourbon? What caught your eye — the scratch kitchen, downtown Bolivar, or something else?
- What is your personal weather report today — and how does it affect the people around you?
- Your "Superpower"... In a busy shift, what's the one thing you're better at than most people you've worked with? (Speed, memory, staying stocked, or just keeping your cool?)
- The "Drive You Crazy" Question... The eggs are on the wrong shelf. The tongs are in the wrong spot. Someone put the to-go lids where the plates go. Are you the one who keeps everything in the same spot every single time OR is it the spot that feels right to you at the time?
- The Post-Rush Feeling: It's 9:00 PM, the rush is finally over and the kitchen is a mess — but you crushed it. What's the first thing you do?
