The Beginning...

So... welcome.



I've always dabbled in the idea of a "food" blog. But I feel bored and stagnant and tired of the endless experiments and the happy endings for the "at home cook". I am a food professional. I work in a restaurant every day... and I doubt my abilities, my education, my dedication, and mostly... my passion for food.

So this is a place for all of us doubters, worriers, and self-loathers. It is a place to inspire us to get back to the place we love most... the kitchen and the food. Because ultimately, we do love this, we are good at what we do, we do have a good education, and our dedication is a fierce tiger... and mostly... our passion runs so deep that the hate of it is as palatable as the love.

The idea behind this project is for me to explore my inner doubt and to combine my two loves: food and the written word. I can't imagine that I am the only one who has wanted to walk out based on "that look" your pastry chef/chef has given you, or when that special you worked so hard on... just isn't good enough. So please... send me your stories of self-doubt, hilarity, and love. Send me those moments of kitchen hell and tears and drunken debauchery. And perhaps if you want to just vent... vent. We are here... to remind you that in the end... it is worth it.

Welcome my fellow professionals... welcome.





And to those who aren't in this industry and feel intrigued by our experiences... well... let these stories speak for themselves.
