so now i'm in a bind. a good bind, but one none the less.

i interviewed at another place yesterday. a restaurant locally owned and in a Westin hotel in Avon. they offered me a job on the spot (which i asked for a few days to think over). Its a beautiful property and a beautiful restaurant. they do great food and lots of it....

my interviews went very well. the hotel position is at the Vail Cascade and it would essentially be the same position i do now (banquet Sous Chef) but at a much bigger property that does events up to 1000 people. I'm not looking for more responsibility right now, i'm looking to learn a little bit more. i will end up declining their offer even though...

i now have TWO interviews tomorrow. the first is a place i'm not really interested in working, but booked the interview because i hadn't heard from that restaurant. the 2nd is the restaurant i do want to work at. i'm stoked.

eh. i'm real frustrated that they didn't call today. i'm not taking it as a sign i won't be hired, but banking on them just being busy and forgetting. i was reaaaaaaally looking forward to putting in my notice tomorrow.

big day! lets hope i get some good news today.

short story shorter, it went great.


the executive chef i work for now even came in for dinner with his wife to personally give an endorsement for me. it was a really overwhelming gesture for him to do that for me.

i'll know on tuesday but its looking good!

i have a stage (that's staaaaaage, think french) tomorrow night at my 1st choice for a new job. the place changes their menu about every 2 weeks so i'll get to play with lots of fun things. i hope everything goes well

lost internet for a few days, but back on top now.


sunday was my buddy Drew's bro down before his wedding. we went camping in Pike National Forest which is about 30 miles south of Denver. it was cold, a little rainy, and i don't like camping. but it was super fun. i believe the total count for the 5 of us was 86 PBR's,...

well it was nice of this chef to call me. but basically he said "i saw your resume, checked your references, and figured i'd call you to tell you that i can't afford you."


its a complement at least.
