Change is Good

Posted on March 5, 2014 by priscilla • 4 Comments

This is my mantra of the moment. In the last two years I have experienced three of what psychologists deem to be the most stressful life changes. 2012, new relationship (after 15 years) 2013, new home (after 9 years) 2014, new job (soon, after 6 years) plus new home again Interspersed among those were some … Continue reading →

Staying in for Valentine’s Day

Posted on February 14, 2014 by priscilla • 1 Comment

Valentine’s Day is both one of the best and worst days of the year for restaurants.  It’s a great day for business, but is probably one of the most difficult days of the year.  The dining room and the kitchen gets deuced to death.  A 100 seat dining room filled with parties of two is … Continue reading →

Beyond Kitchen Doors: To Complain or Not?

Posted on January 31, 2014 by priscilla • 2 Comments

So they need to be scrubbed … Continue reading →

Now what’s next for me?  Well, there’s always Chicago.  For those of you who didn’t know, I flew out to Chicago last June to compete on a Food Network show and won the opportunity to take a position in the Windy City (http://blog.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/2013/09/chef-wanted-tavernita-update/).

Best Laid Plans

Posted on January 10, 2014 by priscilla • 2 Comments

After only three days of planning, I’ve just had to call all my cooks and tell them the re-launch is off.  It seemed like we were moving forward at a clip until the owner called me yesterday to say that he had decided to sell instead of re-launch.  It’s really too bad.  He had a … Continue reading →

Now that my cooks have seen the kitchen and the space, they are are really stoked to get in there and start making some food.  But first things first.  What we are talking about here is re-launching a restaurant.  It might be new to me, but not new to the neighborhood, and I’ve watched enough … Continue reading →

First Look

Posted on January 8, 2014 by priscilla • Leave a comment

Well here she is, my new home away from home.  One fryer, a flat top grill, an open flame grill, a six burner range and oven, and a salamander to serve a 50-seat restaurant.  That’s all folks.  Yesterday I brought my sous chefs over for a meet ‘n’ greet with the owner.  We went over … Continue reading →
