Fantasy Food Industry Job: Chef and owner of a moderately priced, cozy, casual restaurant with a great soundtrack and an eclectic and seasonal menu that is popular enough to find success in NYC, but not so popular that I can’t always keep a table in the corner reserved for loafing friends who drink too much wine, nibble on too many appetizers, and always overstay their welcome…
Nice blog Sherry.
The way you lay out your story/recipe is veryn good.
I suspect your site will appear in my blogroll if I’m not careful (in a day or two).
Stop by The Brutusphere (Either Brutusphere.com or Brutusphere.wordpress.com) when you can’t figure out what to do with 5 otherwise useless minutes.
Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much for your wonderful and gracious words about your experience at I.C.E and having me as your chef/instructor. I was googling myself for the first time, expecting to see a blank space and there you were, commenting on your experience and the interesting class you took. You have a great blog and I look forward to you revealing which culinary school you choose. Remember, you can’t make a mistake. Trust your instincts.
Thanks,
Chef Karen
