Bourbon is good for you
I was inspired by my friend Ethan Ray to give this blog a face lift with the intention of actually doing some blogging again. Friends and fellow chefs are spread abour across the country and it is really the best way for us all to stay connected and share our ideas. We are all busy and use our spare time to enjoy it with our families but we all love to cook. Even more so we all love to talk about cooking and what we like and dislike and what ever changing ideas and concepts are running through our minds while we are changing a diaper or having a late night drink.
Nicole, Madeline and I are heading up north to Wapakoneta this weekend for the wedding of Nicole’s brother Eric. We are making the wedding cake and just doing some general cooking while we are up there and are really looking forward to it. I might spend all day cooking at work for people I don’t even know and get a paycheck for it but there is nothing more rewarding than sharing your craft with family and friends. Neither of us are pastry chefs but I think we are going to put together a really nice cake for the wedding and there will be plenty of pictures to follow.
The new picture on my heading is from McCrady’s upstairs kitchen taken during our recent trip to Charleston and fantastic dinner and tour of the restaurant. It was a truly inspiring and humbling experience to see what was going in the restaurant. So much so we went back the next night for bar snacks and apps with my parents and also took Madeline for her first big dining experience. She slept the entire time but when you are 4 months old I guess it is acceptable. Pictures and some insight from our dinner will be provided soon.
If anyone still looks at this I hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to posting some stuff to look at and talk about once again.
