Chicago Bound!

I can't believe I'm leaving! Please please come to Chicago and visit me at Hot Chocolate. I'll be slaving away (in a good way, I hope) in the kitchen most of the time! Here are some pictures from my recent stage. It was an event for the documentary "Louder Than a Bomb" showing at the Sundance Film Festival - by John Siskel (nephew to the famous Siskel & Egbert) - highlighting inner city kids & poetry. Also, some pictures of the desserts.

Chez Panisse

Patricia was gracious enough to host us last week at Chez Panisse. It was so awesome to see where Patricia worked and get a tour of the kitchen. We even got to see Alice Waters. She was dining with someone, so we didn't bother her. The food was amazing, and so was the dessert! The server didn't think that we would want additional dessert, but of course we did! Such imaginative flavors, colors, WOW!
