Work (aka my life)

I moved up to NY hoping to work at this super well reputed place named Per Se, but when I interviewed they told me that there were no positions available and that I should check back....in about a year. Yeah, a year or so. That's a long time for those who thought they were gonna just walk on board, like myself. But looking back that was pretty arrogant of me to think that I could just walk into one of the best places in New York and expect a job. The Lord knows exactly what I needed. So, He lined me up with a job in a restaurant named Bouley. It has been around for about ten years, but has been consistently at the top in NY. It has two Michelin stars, which means its really good (the most you can get is three). It is intense. I mean really intense. I get a little bit scared whenever I make a mistake. For real. I'm learning a lot. This place might not focus on making everything as ridiculously meticulous or polished as Per Se, but the mechanics of cooking could be stronger (in my opinion). You need to be one of those dog eat dog, tough, fight fire with fire kinda cooks here. It's reputation is being one of, if not the most, challenging places to work in the city. I just pray everyday the I could live up to my ability, and focus on Him who gives it. Hopefully I'll get some pictures of the place sooner than later.

The Infamous First Blog

Well, I finally bit the bullet and decided to post some junk online. After all this time of scoffing blogs and myspace, I've finally joined the ranks of internet journalists out there. I'm sure you all are curious about the deep, dark inner secrets and going-ons of my life... So, I guess you'll be disappointed because I probably won't be posting anything of that sort. Really I just want to post some pictures and tell y'all about whats new in my world. So, here we go, I guess.
