So here we are...back where we began...toe to toe I stand, in front of you...again! A little rip off of lyrics of a staind song I have in my head at the moment. It seems fitting though...standing at the pass at the chefs table, directly in front of our guests, where it all started, pouring my heart out in front of them in my cooking...giving all of our team as we lay down the ingredients and give them love...the love that they so desperately deserve before being consumed. So many passed before today...so many yet to be explored. The cooking is never ending..always evolving and continuously refining. The guests we had the privilege of cooking for this time are regulars...amazing and simply awesome. They deserve our attention, our commitment and our dedication to the craft. For fuel in order to make good on this quest?...Good music, tasty wholesome fresh ingredients, extreme passion and excitement and a warm solid buzz of adrenaline rushing through our bodies! Above are the dishes of the night as it played out...good times!
