Have been living some busy days here on the island! I hope to craft a blog post in the coming days on the world of cooking, perfection, the next step, and generally life on the island. The past week has been great, although extremely stressful and tough. I took over a station by myself, and am doing decent. A new cook from France arrived on Sunday last week, she is extremely nice and I am learning a lot from her. We hang out a significant amount of the day. Amazing hearing about the food culture and lifestyle in France. More on all this later! Tomorrow will mark two weeks until my departure from the island! Today I have off, as does Markus. We are renting a car and driving around the island, eating, seeing. Should be a wonderful day, will take many pictures! A blog on all this coming soon, sorry it takes so long! In the meantime, watch a video of the evolution of an idea at the seventh best restaurant in the world, Alinea, in Chicago, which I had the privilege to eat at last summer. So much thought goes into a single element, the centerpiece, for a menu. Mind blowing, it is a dream place of mine to one day work.
