Restaurant professionals are an odd lot ... some simply have fallen into the industry by default ... yet there are those of us that are here because we've found a way to be paid for our preferred extreme sport. Adrenaline Junkies ... consciously ready for the next mad rush, whether it's due to a member of the waitstaff flaking, or because the nature of our restaurant venue just happens to be one of concentrated bursts of traffic volume.
Then there is that difficult-to-describe element of the joy of feeding people. The word "Nourishment" is trite here perhaps, but an element nonetheless. For those of us that are good at this ... it's not enough to feed someone ... we have to feed them something Delicious. We have to care about its creation ... even when we're making the Gazpacho in 4 gallon batches.
We also strive to stay healthy in a work environment full of empty calories, long hours, and high stress. While few of us have the luxury of selling food to people with our own food preferences ... we are the first people you invite to your potluck, and, admit it, you decided to have a potluck just because one of us was in town this week. Here we'll post some of those recipes we've shared over the years ... and hopefully discuss new food experiments as they evolve.
Here's to great Food!
Cheers
