OK Nicky...one full month has passed. Are you still with your restaurant? How are you enjoying it? Sorry for being an update-pest.

Sorry for not posting for some time, things have been really busy at home. Things at work have been pretty good. At the end of the day, it's not the place I want to be, but I am learning a lot, and plus being new to the industry, I can use the references. I've been doing a lot of prep and cooking for our catering events, which is great. My boss and owner of the place is busy with the catering, wine bar and my little kitchen. The food is selling well, but it just seems like the kitchen is taking a back seat to the other two. He wants the kitchen to do well, and I'm still getting a decent dinner crowd, and then continue to sell well into the night. Even though, nothing is packaged and we cook with fresh ingrediants it's still not the cooking I want to do. Today I'm interviewing for a line cook job in town. I was refered there from one of the waitstaff. I'm going to try and get some hours on my days off from my full time job, and maybe some morning hours. I just want to learn as much as I can and pick up some new skills. So in that aspect, I'm very excited. So in all, things are going well. I'm taking baby steps.... I'm moving back to NYC in August so having some experience under my belt and a couple references will be nice.
