The Aspiring Chef: Brief starfucking
http://gunnabeachef.blogspot.com/2009/12/brief-starfucking.html
Saturday, December 19, 2009. We have a number of celebs and VIPs come through the kitchen, and with the exception of two reviewers, it's never really caused a stir in the kitchen. The other night, though, we were visited by Beyonce and Jay-Z. I won't say it caused a commotion, but for the first time cooks were trying to peer out the small porthole in our door to sneak a peak. Turns out Beyonce likes to play with her food. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Other chef dudes and dudettes. I currently live...

The Aspiring Chef: It's stuff like this
http://gunnabeachef.blogspot.com/2010/02/its-stuff-like-this.html
Saturday, February 6, 2010. It's stuff like this. A lot of cooks complain about things in the kitchen, but they find ways to reward themselves. Sometimes those rewards are blowing the week’s pay at the strip club, like our saucier did on Friday night. Or having familial relations with as many waitresses/cooks as possible, a favorite pastime among some of our cooks. Or chain smoking a series of cigarettes and downing countless cocktails, like all our cooks do. The brine is a mix of about ten gallons of wa...

The Aspiring Chef: Tis the season
http://gunnabeachef.blogspot.com/2010/01/tis-season.html
Sunday, January 24, 2010. Have shown a pretty high intake of salt, blamed mostly on processed foods. There’s no doubt that eating that Big Mac (31% of the suggested daily intake of sodium) or even a Lean Cuisine (often 14% to 29% of the daily intake) is going to up your salt consumption. But let me tell you, eating out ain’t gonna help much either. Just something to think about next time you’re turning your nose up at McDonald’s and eating out at a nice restaurant.

The Aspiring Chef: The inspiring chef
http://gunnabeachef.blogspot.com/2010/01/inspiring-chef.html
Sunday, January 24, 2010. I know I've dubbed this blog The Aspiring Chef, but I’m not sure it’s apropos. After all, I went into this field with the very real possibility that it would be a short-term diversion from the world of writing. Indeed, for many chefs, it seems, expediting—the act of organizing the soldiers during the rush of service and ensuring dishes go out on time and in an adequate fashion—is the primary responsibility. Creating new dishes is also a duty, but actual cooking? For me, the most...

The Aspiring Chef: The beginning is the end is the beginning is the end
http://gunnabeachef.blogspot.com/2009/12/beginning-is-end-is-beginning-is-end.html
Saturday, December 19, 2009. The beginning is the end is the beginning is the end. It’s been a while, but for the last few months I’ve been going through a bit of a crisis: do I really want to do this? There have been days where I’ve been elated to work at what is one of the best restaurants in New York. There are days when I am envious of “normal people” and their ability to enjoy weekends and daylight, rather than spending their time indoors. And it all begins anew the next day. After all the soul-sear...
