Spray bottles of gold bond. Shower in that shit you'll be g2g

I was born and raised in Florida and just moved to the great lakes region so I would go mad without feeling warm for 40 hours a week. Also drink more water

Our kitchen is nearly 100F in winter, summer is crap. The key is hydration, without that you're always going to be in trouble.

Try wetting a hand towel and tying it around your neck. That will help.

i wear a loose t-shirt/polo, jeans and a bandana. luckily we have a swamp cooler hooked up to a vent above our line. we have 105F summer days. sweat through it man

Drink lots of Ice water.
I drink 4 or 5 pitchers of Ice water every shift. But i don't really notice how hot I am until after my shift and I sit at the bar.

A ton of water, and wet towels is how I get through it

Our kitchen doesn't get that hot.

Loose clothes and keep extra bandanna in ice water to swap on my head to stay cool. When busy though doesn't really matter time flies when you're pushing food out the window

> Also why aren't the kitchens air conditioned?

You're getting conditioned air from the dining area. Of course if the rest of the air coming into the kitchen is simply blown in from the top you won't get much useful cooling from that.

This. Drink lots of cold water (worth getting a double-walled bottle to keep it cold, otherwise it'll be warm before you drink much of it) and if it gets too hot wrap a cold, wet rag around your neck.

>tfw your line regularly gets up to 130F in the summer
>tfw while you're dealing with that shit and cranking out orders, a server walks into the kitchen for something- not behind the line, mind, just into the actual room- and immediately complains about how 'gross and hot' it is

>busy service
>laziest server on staff barely moving
