They tore my old restaurant down. Don't know who "they" are, but today there is nothing left but rubble and a bulldozer.
Once upon a time, I was a kickass chef. I still am, I guess. Just in a holding pattern. The only part of the restaurant biz I don't miss is the 70 hour, 6 day work week. I loved the adrenaline of Friday night on an hour wait and the printer spitting out tickets nonstop. I loved the heat and smoke and fire and smells. The transistion of raw product to edible pleasure, knowing that someone was having a sensory party and I was the ringmaster.
The writer Anthony Bourdain likens being a chef to being a pirate captain, and in some funny way that IS what it's like. A line crew is always half crazy, cranking out the beauty at 75mph until it's 1am and time to go drink your way down.

Canyon Cafe, Westlake Hills, Texas. R.I.P.

here's to you Canyon Cafe!

i know what a wierd feeling that can be.
there was a movie theater i worked at in college for four years. it's where i met my ex-husband.

i was devastated when it was smashed. i had to go take a brick from the rubble and save it.

i'm silly that way.
