Pan Seared Salmon.

We earned our money Friday Night when we pan seared 220 Salmon Steaks served with an herb butter sauce!

So much work, but well worth the effort!

Cleanliness!

Cleanliness! 

Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning.  A professional kitchen has to be spotless and we spend a great part of our time keeping the Kitchen clean.  

We are also obsessed with TEMPERATURE. Food must be stored handled and cooked at certain temperatures!

Cooking for our dinners is a privilege that we take very seriously.

Training Day!

Teaching classic culinary techniques is emphasized in the Kitchen.  

"Chef" Chris, my boss is a graduate of the Contra Costa Collage Culinary school, with no real experience or passion for cooking. 

The guy in the blue polo is Tim, a real chef who use to run the kitchen to the kitchen to the highest standards. He got a big promotion with a $70K salary so he let the kitchen go to seed.   

I hold the staff to the highest standards, assuring delicious meals for our dinners. 

Stuffed bell Pepper!

We cooked a very basic, yet delicious dinner.  

Bell Peppers stuffed with a simple filling of beef, tomato coulis and mirepoix. Topped with grated cheese.  The sauce for the pasta was olive oil, garlic and pepper flakes.  

Creativity!

The purpose of our Kitchen is more than feeding people.  We are a place to develope a work ethic.  A place to build character and develop discipline.

The Kitchen is also a place to share our God Given Creativity!  Here Chris shows us his beautiful Cake.  Chris, a culinary student, is taking a baking class.  

I can tell you first hand that EVERYTHING that Chris bakes is remarkable!
