Got the new job

#1

Well I posted about it quickly in Libbys iPhone sticker thread about waiting to here from a interview, and I got the head cook position at a really neat Restaurant/Music Venue in my local area as head cook!

Really excited about this next chapter and just wanted to share. I’m not a career focused individual as I love my hobbies a lot more. I work to live and though kitchen life is daunting and I’ve been doing it for years I’m SO HAPPY to be in a restaurant in a lead role at a music venue where we have live music every day and night. It’s a intimate space and open kitchen too so we’re right there with the music. I’m hyped!!!

OK, that’s cool! I just hope the place is not some fancy-schmansy Italian restaurant called “E. Colli’s.”:flushed:

Haha, nope. All American cuisine! This location is known for having the best fried chicken in the area. Though we do; lamb-rack, boneless short-rib, beer battered cod fish, few pasta dishes, grassfed burgers, and a bunch of appetizers and soups/salads. GF/vegan options as well.

Great prices and the owners really care about music and artists. Has a old time aesthetic to it.

“Fleetwood Mac & Cheese” is so good. 5 cheese, cream, bread crumbs BOOM! so good though. topped with smoked mozzarella

My mac and cheese (made from a roux on up) normally has sourdough chunks with regianno on the top, so I bet I would would dig theirs too!
