Tongue CoolJ has some news

Some good news from my little part of the world. I am going to be getting a better taste of working in a "real" kitchen, as I recently hired on with a reputable catering firm. The Chef is a cool guy, and he didn't make me feel like I had to prove anything, he just hired me and has me starting the middle of next week on a short shift to get a feel for the kitchen. I am going to be doing both food preparation and banquet set up. The bonus is that I don't have to just up and leave my current employment.
anyway I'm looking forward to this chance. I will be updating you all every once in awhile.

CJ, best of luck to you. I personally have had more catering experience than I care to remember! The one thing I can say though is that catering can give you tons of experience in a short time, and it is experience that will carry with you forever. Have fun and let us know how it goes.
