I have to tell you I am used to hot temps here in AZ but this is the most miserable month temperature wise I have experienced in my entire life! It is absolutely brutal out there! We will have suffered through over a months worth of temperatures over 110F (43C). I have not lost a tree yet but if things do not turn around it is going to get tree ugly.
Holy carp! (Yes carp)
I remember the HOTTEST summers.. working in a very inadequately-vented Kitchen.... I wore meat thermometers hanging on the outside of my jacket pocket, and i advised my other chefs/sous to do the same as to take the ambient temperature around the head area..
Once it would rise to 115-125 over the grills and vats.. I’d make everyone cycle in and out every 20 minutes...
I remember a certain 128 degree (by my face) in the kitchen day... I started to feel somewhat faint AND “jacked up” at the same time... I looked up to my Line of tickets JUST as all the language MORPHED into hieroglyphics! ... I looked at my Sous, sweat POURING off me and (apparently) said, “I’m not even Egyptian.... HELP!”... then walked out of the building singing Steve Martin’s “King Tut”..to get some air (hieroglyphics is the last thing I remember)
Heatstroke is no joke!
I’m sorry for your situation.
