To Grill or Not to Grill

To grill or not to grill, that is the question,
whether is nobler in the mind to prep cook,
the line, functions with canapes and plated dinners,
or to rise above the flame to own the stainless steel,
and by rising to become more,
to grill, to plate,
summer more,
and thus the native hue of resolution,
is steel brushed with the pale cast of thought,
this enterprise of great joy,
and gain the name of action,
sear, char, gently now,
the fair silvered grill on patio fair,
be all my work remembered,
and this summer to aid my days,
restaurant forth,
to learn...

For some reason Hamlet popped into my head after having a conversation with Chef J yesterday. It looks like I will be outside working on the patio for the next little while on top of doing my work with L.

As well I want to give a big shout out for the return of our Saucier A. We missed you bud and we're thrilled that your back. I can hardly wait to be regaled with tales of merry old England and the kitchen.

Oh well, off to work I go...

JFK once said; “We choose to go...not because [it is] easy, but because [it is] hard, because that goal will serve to measure and organize the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.”

Dream big and inspired today...

A la prochaine
