So here's a little experiment/idea that we'd like to try out.
In the last few years, I've spent many hilarious, frustrating, lovely, maddening, exhilarating, epic days and nights in the company of cooks and their ilk. And I've had the pleasure and the privilege of meeting some of the most stand-up, creative, (jaded, asinine, stubborn), amaaazingly solid boys and girls I'll ever hope to meet.
And when our worlds collide, when we get together for a few (...) drinks, or share a meal and a laugh and the stories start rolling out, I often think we gotta remember this! The nightmare services, the budding ideas and the finally realized dishes, arguments on which is worse - the trio or cinnamon stick garnishes, the glory of a "perfect" plate (whether giving or receiving) and the humiliation of stupendous fuck ups, the WTF of surprise fridge finds, Hall of Fame/Shame staff meals, sweet Tough Man Challenges...it all boils down to us loving what has been so rightly called, this thing of ours.
So here we are. I've invited some of my favourite kitchen boys and girls to share their stories/pictures/inspirations/nightmares about what makes them tick. (And what ticks them off - although it should be said that we're mostly about the love, right?) Yes. Bring the lovefest on.
I have a feeling this is gonna be a fun ride....here we go!
