A little snapshot view from a little mouse in the corner...this is what one would see if they were that proverbial mouse(i hate flies). To sit back and see what takes place in our kitchen at times is simply amazing. Usually always exciting and exhilarating. Sometimes utterly wild and crazy, and sometimes, just plain shitty. The less than great visuals are more so those times when we are just stressed and anxious...fatigued and overly high strung...exhausted and tired of a staff member who sees it as their turn to bitch and complain. Whatever! Here are some shots of a dinner we did for a special client who just wanted something inspired and cool. We were happy...they were stoked! Enjoy..
