My Last Lunch.

This is Carlos, my favorite waiter in the dining car. He is standing at the wait-person station at the center of the dining car. When you enter the dining car, you have to wait to be seated. Since I am traveling alone, I am often used to "fill in" a table. Once seated they ask you to sign an order form including your car and room numbers. These 2 things are important to know. They will constantly refer to you as your car & room number. After taking your order (and everyone at your table) they clip the order forms together by table and stick them in a slot that drops them to the chef on the lower level. The food is prepared by the chef, who then places all orders for your table on a tray that is then put in a dumbwaiter. Our waiter, up above, opens the door and has everything for our table on a tray and ready to deliver to us. Condiments and drinks are prepared separately by our waiter. My lunch today was Morrocan Vegan Chicken, salad, and a roll. I also got a diet pepsi.
