Since July I have been out of the kitchen. I decided it was time to learn more about the FOH and I wanted to learn about casual dining so I took a job as a Floor Manager at a casual concept restaurant with a live fire theme-BBQ theme (kind of a Texas Roadhouse kind of place). It has been a great learning experience and I really enjoy actually dealing with the customers (most of the time) and spending time behind the bar creating new cocktails, but I do have to admit that at times I really miss the kitchen. And I really miss doing all the cool food I was trained to do, but Wanda (my wife) is thrilled. Since I don't cook for a living, at the moment, I have been spending a lot more time in the kitchen at home. Last night I made a Pork Loin Roast on the BBQ, smoked over Hickory nut shells and served with Sauteed Mustard Greens with Garlic and Bacon and a Spring Vegetable Ragout consisting of Morels, Ramps, Asparagus, and Green Onions simmered in a Tarragon Cream sauce. While this morning it was Herb (from my herb garden) and White Cheddar Omelets with Sauteed Morels (dredged in flour and fried in bacon fat) and Toast (along with some of our homemade jams, Pink grapefruit marmalade and Spicy Jalapeno Raspberry Jam). I keep this up and she won't ever let me take another Chef job!!!!
