Hello there food lovers and any fellow cooks that may be reading this. Well we are coming off the slowest summer inn south west Florida we have ever had. Now summer is always slow in Florida cause it is our off season. But the huge screw up of the BP oil spill did not help our matters at all. Now we are finally starting to see the snow birds ( local talk for tourists) driving around town. And all the shipping trucks with cars that the rich people have sent down ahead of them. So now the race begins in the kitchen. We have been interviewing applicants for seasonal positions. This adds more stress because now we are training new team members and most of them are only they for a pay check and are not a professional chef who lives for the trade. We are slowly getting into our weddings and corporate events. Every day is a juggling act of interviews,training team members,planning menus for events,ordering product,and then the actual cooking of the food for all the events. The kitchen is not the glamor life that the food network has made it out to be. And because of people watching the food network and being fooled to think that kitchen work is easy and leads to the life of a rock star the restaurant industry has suffered greatly. So stay tuned as we head into season and I come out with part two of this journey.If you are a chef and would like to get your jackets,knives,and cookbooks 100% then you have found the promise land.  Also stay tuned for great recipes and cooking tips.
