Welcome to my blog

I have been in the culinary field most of my life and I take the art of food, diligence in the kitchen, correct communication, food ordering, food costing, portion control, time management, proper scheduling, cleanliness, organization and first and for most safety very seriously. Upon entering any kitchen, whether it is my own or a new one, I can immediately tell whether or not it is run well and the quality of the food coming out of it. I’m not sure it if it something that is learning through time served, or whether it is almost a sixth sense that is developed through trial-and-error. But it does exist and it is a powerful force within all kitchens.

My hope is that I can help take any kitchen that I enter to a higher level of culinary understanding. So that the food that leaves is something that everyone is not only proud of, but sorry to see leave. It is a job that still remains underrated and underappreciated and I would have it no other way. Creating an environment where that is possible is the first step.

Over the next several months, along with posting recipes, stories, and other general information, I hope to explain what goes into the art of food. Please visit often and always feel free to share your thoughts.

Thank you,

Justin
