Been Lurking for a while...

Hey everyone, Ive been reading this website for about two months now, and decided i needed to subscribe asap. Ive gotten so much great information to educate myself with and i wanted to be able to share my thoughts.

Names jeff, Im a very young cook, im 19, but im very passionate about what i do. I live in upstate new york, (poughkipsee area) and I work a Restaurant called Bonefish Grill. Its a corporate place, but it is not what you would expect out of a chain. Our fish is fresh every two-three days, our purveyors are exclusivly for our company, and our fish is flown in every other day and hand cut in house.(fresh fish is amazing btw lol)

My cooking career started when i wasnt even tall enough to reach the range top, i would need a stool to scramble my eggs. i think i was 5. Ive definatly grown since then, but ive only been gettin paid for it since i was 16. Right now Im the saucier on my line, but during the slower days sometimes me and the guys will switch around to change it up a bit, so sometimes i run the grill, sometimes i do evening prep, and sometimes i expo. But saute is my ***** lover. nobody holds down a saturday night like me, and i love that.

Ok enough about me, how are all of you?!

Hello, and goodbye,
Jeffaliscous
