Hello all.. i just wanted to post here since im new and tell everyone how much i love this site.
My name is dylan and Im a 26 year old chef in small town east texas. Recently tracked down this site so i would have people to discuss good food with since finding good work and passionate food goers around here is near impossible. I have 9 months executive chef experience and 4 years in the kitchen. Studied at Texas culinary academy (le cordon bleu). My ambition may out weigh my skill but i try my A** off every second that im in a kitchen and im learning new things every day.
