Just tell your boss what's on your mind and they may actually listen. Some times it's not immidiate, but usually a boss will appreciate a good worker and hook you up with what you want.
Indeed. I was actually in kitchen today; I haven't done it for over a year ago, and I need the experience to get my apprenticeship out of the way. They put me on fry station for the dinner period, and I made a comment like "This is the closest I'm ever going to get to kitchen..." After my break, they stuck me on grill. I made a few mistakes, but nothing major. I also learnt a lot.

I have blisters all over my fingers now, though.
