This past weekend, I was lucky enough to represent my job at a benefit for Helping Hands, a wonderful organization that pairs the paralyzed with a Capuchin monkey to help them with tasks and provide companionship throughout their lives.

Battle of the Burger a.k.a. my first Sous Chef experience
So as I mentioned yesterday, the Executive Chef at my job asked me to be one of his Sous Chefs for the Battle of the Burger, hosted by Boston Magazine. Eighteen of the city’s best burgers under one roof, with 1,000 attendees to judge and vote for the winner. Can I cook for it without…
Marathon Patriot Gala Nomfest

It was my first blogging event, an a real success (my version of success is counted by how delicious the food is). The event had all of the members of the Columbus Hospitality Group, which includes restaurants, hotels,…
Follow me to the land of ginger
I love ginger. It is such a cool root that can go in so many recipes and has some nice bodily properties, like calming stomachs. I am also engaged to a ginger (more auburn, but this is not the time to split hairs) so it only seems right that tomorrow I will be headed to…
