Atlanta's best dishwasher, Rasul Abd’al-aquil, finds purpose, pleasure, and sanity in the furious pace of the kitchen. FWPro
. "Nobody has enough product where they can just endlessly pull out glassware, silverware, plates, et cetera. Everything has to be recycled, reused, and cleaned in between. Somebody has to do it. People don't realize there's a person back there whose sole job it is to clean those glasses and make sure they're crystal clear. Generally, they're going to be the lower paid people, but if you're smart, you don't pay them super low.
That's where a highly-skilled dishwasher like Abd’al-aquil shines. Over the past five years, he's refined his system to the point where he can step into any restaurant, get the lay of the land, and almost immediately impose order. "Everybody says the same thing. They'd be like, man, you wouldn't even notice it's your first day."
So does everyone else in Abd’al-aquil's kingdom, because they know if they follow his organizational system, everything will go smoothly. If not, they'll soon realize the error of their ways. "I am an alpha male, and you have to be like that to work dish. If you don't, you will get abused, mistreated, and people will just do you all kind of ways," he said, noting that he isn't running up against that issue currently, but encountered initial pushback at previous jobs.
When things are going according to plan, Abd’al-aquil essentially operates as his own team. "People will tell you, 'Rasul is two people,' and they're right. I let my eyes and my ears both play a position," he said. "I keep everything in front of me and I don't let anything get behind me cause if they get behind me, that means I'm behind. As long as I have everything in front of me and everything has a place where it goes, we'll get it done.
