So we were in the new place yesterday getting it all organized and cleaned up and we were about to start cooking stuff, when we realized neither of the ovens worked. That's a bit of a downer.
The repair guys are supposed to be out this afternoon to fix it all. $6000 stoves shouldn't be broken when you install them, I think.
Anyways, hopefully we...

So my last day at my old job was Friday. On Sunday morning, my new job called to say I couldn't start working until November, which left me in a spot to find a place that wanted to hire me for 3 months.
So I made a few phone calls and sent a couple emails, and 6 hours later I found myself as sous chef...

Thanks for your info! You're awesome, xo.
Gave notice at my job.
I'm leaving to work for my current chef de cuisine at a new job he's taken. We're turning around an existing restaurant, then in April, opening another one. The first is in West Hollywood, the second is right in the middle of Hollywood, at Hollywood and Vine. I switch jobs on the 10th September. My days of a 44-mile round-trip...

I look good in a Lai. Is that how you spell it? Good luck at the new job.

It is fucking raining here like a bitch! Fuck this tropical storm hannah thing... You are probably right. I am saying that on SG.. something he doesn't subscribe to or read.. it's more for me. I guess. Anyhow.. did you start your new job? No longer chef de cuisine? I wanted to become a pastry chef.. somehow my parents convinced me to become a doctor?
I guess I have been remiss in updating this at all.
Still working a lot, although this past week has been a lot lighter than previous. Not sure how long that will last.
My dad came out from TX to visit for a few days, which was pretty cool. We aren't much alike and don't always get along too well, but that's been improving the...

When a hot girl you met a couple weeks before calls you drunk from a bar down the street from your house at 1.30am, most people would race straight over.
Too bad I have to get up in 5 hours and go work a 15-hour day.
I didn't even answer the phone.

Any of you that read this stuff know that I've been in on the opening of a brand new restaurant the last several weeks. The place is going great, and I love the people I work with (mostly).
But it's also 20 miles from my house, and the gas prices keep going up, and it's costing me about $300/mo in gas to drive over there...

Ran into a guy at the bar the other night who's from Dallas. Knows pretty much all my old friends. Things like that make me wonder how I'd never met this person before.
First day off in 2 weeks.
Sweet.
Restaurant is going great, we're busy all the time. It's hectic and crazy, which is fine. Things are coming together.
If you're in LA, come on by Anisette for some lovely French food!

Excellent website - can't wait to see the final result!
Do you even know that Choucroute garnie is my favourite meal (well, you can actually see it in my current journal's mosaic)? I've got to come to LA now and give you real French attitude

Long days. Just doing brunch tomorrow, then open finally for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Monday.
It's rough ... we could use a few more cooks on staff. About to be a lot of long days, I think.
But it's good.

Opened for breakfast today. The LA TImes, NY Times, and LA Magazine were all there ... for fucking breakfast! It's going to be insane when we open for dinner.
