its kinda funny. when you're working and used to the heat you don't even notice the burns until its time to change out.

i am two days into my new job at Avondale and in short i love it. so far it is proving to be everything i've wanted it to be. the chef's are tough on you, but will always help you when in need. the other line cooks are serious, professional, and talented. the food is simple, but intricate to to cook, and absolutely fantastic. the...

last day at the sonnenalp tomorrow. can't wait to start my new job.

got all my paperwork filled out at Avondale today. Went in for lunch and to take care of that stuff. Lunch was handmade pasta in a veal and port tomato ragu with aged jack cheese fresh basil and a glass of Pinot Noir. super good. I sat right near the doors to the patio with a great view of Beaver Creek.

just today and then two days off.

this week has been super busy and i'm ready for some time to relax.


tuesday will include disc golf on top of Vail mountain, drinks, the free concert, and more drinks.

FREEDOM!!!


well, in 2 weeks anyways.

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.



RIP Michael Jackson

phew.

called the place today and talked to the sous chef who i did the stage with. he told me that he had yesterday off and thought that i had already spoken to the exec chef and worked out a time to meet and talk about compensation.
