Before that I was working at a restaurant called the Sugar Factory inside the Paris hotel. It is an American style brasserie, pretty decent food, and I must say, my executive chef there was good to me and I enjoyed working there. I left because this new job at Central was too good to pass up. I also waited tables at a restaurant inside the NYNY hotel called the sporting house. It used to be an espn zone so its a great spot for sports fans if you are ever in town. Again, I left that job at the time because the Sugar Factory position was not only a good way to get into the kitchen, but it also helped me fulfill school requirements for my externship.
My mom, tim and mark all made it out to Vegas (yes, Janis went to Vegas and there are no good stories to tell) for my graduation. It was a total surprise to my mom that mark made it out, but I'm glad he did, and I met his lovely girlfriend Jenny too. She's amazing! And it was to marks surprise that I graduated with high honors, and a 4.0 gpa none-the-less. I'm just a barrel of surprises these days.
As for the future, as Tom Petty puts it, it's wide open. I like Vegas, I enjoy my job, and the weather here is way better then the 8-10 inches of snow the east coast just got before the end of october. However, you never know what's around the next corner, so stay tuned. Also, a little side note, I will be doing whatever I can to audition for the next season of Hells kitchen so hopefully that will be my next update.
Pictures of the graduation and the weekend to come.
