and it can run straight from the start

part of what i'll be using this blog for is a space to post pictures of the dishes i create on a daily basis at my restaurant.

for the most part, all of the pictures are taken with my phone, on the line; usually during service, right before i put the plate in the pass. i realize that none of those elements add up to a great photo, so i'll try to clean them up a little bit before i post them here.

i have a bit of a backlog of pictures and a short attention span when it comes to editing and photoshop, but here are a couple from last month when i was working the saute station (i just moved to grill a couple of weeks ago - and we rotate every time the menu changes - which is roughly every 6 weeks). They're both grouper dishes. actually the next few will all be grouper - we had a lot of grouper to burn through during the holidays.


Bacon wrapped grouper | wild mushroom cigar | sweet corn puree | red onion marmalade


thanksgiving: fried shallot crusted grouper | wild mushroom risotto | grilled asparagus | warm bacon vinaigrette | cranberry gastrique
