i think the best part about being recognized by f&w magazine for best new chef this year was getting to meet such awesome chefs from around the country.  every stop we went on was a new kitchen experience and each chef with a very different style in not only food but just in the feel of the kitchen. canals’ kitchen could not be more different than the goat’s, and i loved it. in fact we decided it was time to start a cook exchange program so we can let our cooks experience each others kitchens for a week or so and learn different things about foods, and just meet great people. best part though happened outside of the kitchen… it was getting to see jason in a sweet old lady wig on halloween. he pulled it off quite well. kinda creepy.

thank you jason and everyone else at canlis… amazing restaurant with a beyond beautiful view. i will not be forgiving myself anytime soon for leaving after the dinner without sitting for a bite.  i’ll be back soon to do just that.
