The man at center is dressed in white and looks down as he spears a piece of meat that sits on the pallet. A cook stands to the right of him and gazes down towards the pit. Another cook behind and to the left of the man at center looks to the camera while shovelling dirt. In the background at right, a pile of pallets sit on the ground and a lattice fence lines the park's back edge. A building stands beyond the fence and in partial view at left.
