As she entered her kitchen and employees were diligently focused on prepping orders of paleo meals for a client, Tamara “Tammy” Leibfarth yelled, “Corner! Corner! Corner!”

Shouting “corner” is kitchen behavior to let other cooks know that you’re coming around a blind corner.

Leibfarth isn’t in the kitchen as much these days, though — or at least trying not to be.
