16. But grills throw off crazy heat

That's why I'm asking. Even with AC. I mean, the customer eating areas were very cool. But the kitchen? It was always hell.

Is it expected to be a certain temp?

I know people are cheering this, but what was expected? Because, again, the article says 90 degrees. Is that not ok around a grill? I've worked around a grill. That seemed . . . about what you'd expect around a grill.

Is it supposed to be better?
