Chef Wars Act 3

It took me awhile but here is the pictures from the round 2 chef wars dinner.

These were taken at Ted's on Main in Medford.

Adam and I had a really good time that night and Ted's crew was great.

I finally got some sleep

Well anyone that knows me and how much I work will be surprised to here this--- I finally got some sleep!

Not a lot ,about 7 hours but enough to finish the week.

We had a great time last night doing chef wars against Ted's on Main--we lost--- oh well. It was a lot of fun and Ted is a great cook and fun to work with in the kitchen. He inserted a little excitement and enthusiasm when I was feeling a little run down.

I have pictures from both dinners, his place and mine that I'll post by the week end.

5 more days and I get a day off! 1st in over a month!

Chef Wars Act 2

This time it was a little harder then the first.

I had a really good time cooking this part 2 of this dinner series but it does let me know there's no place like home. You just know your area, your stove and are bit more comfortable in your own kitchen.

I want to think Rich, Marianne and the whole staff at Andreotti's for a great evening.

And here's the pictures.

On to the 2nd Round

I won!

Just a quick update.

Wanted to let everyone know that I had good time at Andreotti's on Thursday evening and got enough votes to move on to the 2nd round.

I'll do I picture post of the evening by Monday so keep checking in.

I don't know you I'll face yet in the 2nd round. the winners so far are Ted's on Main, Catelli's, and Elements. We're waiting for the winner of the Los Amigos vs Anthony's dinner on Tuesday the 23rd.

Chef Wars--Good Food Good Friends

We are taking our own place in the media stream and are participating in the SJHotchefs "Chef Wars".

I'll be competing against Richard Marsh of Andreotti's this Thursday night at Elements. And following that up with a dinner at his place in cherry hill on the 18th of June.

This should be a lot of fun and a seriously good match-up. With Rich's classical background and schooling from the Culinary Institute of America I know we are going to turn some great food.

So wish me good luck.

I'll follow up with some pictures on Friday and hopefully a winning score.

Long Week

Just got done a long week, we had a party on Saturday for 210 people. Time to get back to the restaurant work and get ready for Restaurant Week. Restaurant Week is 3 weeks away but I just wrote the menu and it's time to start practicing.
