Awoke from a dream about cooking lamb chops, to reflect that one area where Deadwood handwaves things a bit is kitchen staff. I can believe that Cy keeps his out of sight; maybe the Gem girls pull a second shift watching pots for Jewel; but E.B. and Richardson appear to be running the Grand Central entirely on their lonesomes - granted, it's supposed to be a terrible hotel, but they still have to somehow supply lousy food to dozens of diners every day. My local McDonalds gets crazy when there's a half-dozen lined up, and they've got four times as many workers and a modern kitchen.
Even when Hearst brings in Aunt Lou, she only seems to have Richardson to assist her, and one would think if she'd been head cook for a big house in San Francisco, she'd be used to more help than that.
