A Day In The Life Of An American Culinary Student

- As Kristy and I get closer to our move to Denver I'm finding less time available to get into the restaurants. I'm going to try to get in once a week between now and June 15th, but we'll see how the schedule looks. The lay-off date at my day job ...

- AWork has definitely slowed down for me. Actually, it's more like a stop than a slow down. Due to layoffs at the restaurant I spent most of my time, it doesn't look like I'll be getting back in before I leave. I can still get into the second pl...

- Week of 5/28/01
Johnson and Wales Financial aid got back to me and
they granted me another $4150, so my total grant is $6150. That reduces my tuition to $16,000ish which is really cool. Now I'll borrow $13,500 instead of the entire $22,00...

- We finally made it to Denver. The drive was uneventful and more scenic than I had expected. The drive through Southern Utah and into Colorado was very cool. Unfortunately, we had a slight snag when we arrived at our new apartment complex. It w...

-I heard back from the New Orleans restaurant I was
attempting to secure my externship with and the Sous
Chef said he is expecting me to be there next summer.
So it appears my first choice for an externship has
been confirmed. If that didn't make my ...
9/1/01- Today was the first day of orientation, and other than a little confusion on the school's part, it eventually went smoothly. I did learn that in the program I am in I have to do my externship in one of two hotels/resorts that partner with the scho...
First week of school....
9/3/01- Spent most of the day at the school for the third day of orientation. Sat through an Academic Orientation that seemed to be more directed at the students that were coming straight from high school. After the academic se...
9/10/01- My team had its first real challenge today in
making consommé. We rose (as did our "raft") to the challenge and were successful at floating a perfect raft. We broke through the raft and strained the consommé until it was clear. I think the Chef ...
