A quick update


I realize that it’s been quite some time since my last posting so first a little update. 
Yes I am still in the hospitality industry but there are some changes.  It would take quite a while to go through them all and it involves a lot of personal drama that I don’t think I need to go into.  Suffice it to say that I’m still in the kitchen and that is still awesome.
The food I’m currently doing is less complicated than what I have done before but it gives me the chance to focus on other aspects of the business.
My current establishment is fairly new and it has been interesting to help the owners get up and running.  It has been a while since I participated in a restaurant opening and it has forced me to revisit and rethink some of the issues you don’t normally consider in an already established venue. I’m not going to outline all of them here since I’m set to move later this summer and open a new place in more of a managerial position and so I will probably address them in future posts.
I look forward to new and exciting things in the future and am also looking forward to some interesting dialogue from you as well. So feel free to comment and let me know what you think.  Even if you aren’t speaking with food industry experience I will relish your insight since I’m going to be touching on many other business related issues such as promotion and publicity, employee relations, purchasing and inventory, product sourcing and of course the food.
