Eulogy for an old friend. The oven at home.
The oven died. Where does one start? How does one write an eulogy for an old friend.? We worked through many recipes and holidays together…Na, That just is not enough. KA 22 had humble beginnings in Benton harbor Mi, KA 22 became the heart of the home. She was often mistaken as a wall mounted wall flower. Friends gathered around and interacted with KA 22. She had a warm disposition and event though later in her days ran a bit hot – strongly influenced our gatherings.
KA 22 was subtle, patient, timely.. KA 22 will be missed
The oven died. What to do from here?
Notebook ~ Dining Criteria
My 3 dining criteria include: architectural aesthetics, background noise, and the food on the plate.
Notebook ~ Consistency.
Consistency. Consistency does not mean boring. To me – it means that the kitchen is well organized and the staff follows recipes. From day to day the plan is followed and who ever is working that day – picks up where that following day left […]
Notebook ~ ” Cooks to French ” a gold star day
One of my gold star moments is having the best foie gras at Spago. Served 5 ways and each perfect. The holy grail was found (did I mention it was served by Chef Puck).
Wolfgang Puck restaurants came to Denver in 1998. Fusion cuisine, casual elegant – coming to Denver. Very exciting time. I briefly meet Chef Puck came to Denver for the Taste of Colorado 2001. Shortly after, I started cooking at Wolfgang Pucks. Executive Chef Daniel ran a solid crew. As part of the cross corporate identity training the chefs would rotate stations. The thought is branding , recipes and quality would be checked and consistency enforced.
Tonight! It is my opportunity to create the signature appetizer. I lead with salmon medallion spiral, Parmesan crisp and poppy beurre rouge. My second gold star moment came when the corporate chef called over the executive chef and exclaimed “He cooks to French”, “we shall not be serving that this night!” I could not have been more proud. Words intended as constructive critique perceived as a badge earned. No argument to the Corporate Chef – nor any memory of what was severed that evening.
Just a gold star day.
Sadly on January 26th 2005, after 7 years in Denver, Wolfgang Puck restaurant closed. I will always carry my earned gold star.
