We call everything by it’s initials since we are a very lazy society in general. In recent news, SBF was denied bail in NYC for his role in FTX and his fucking over people to the tune of billions of dollars. I bet if you made him turn his hands over, you wouldn’t find aContinue reading “Initials”

Where Did My Appetite Go?
There is irrefutable evidence that I had one; I didn’t get up to 275 pounds at one point by going on the Gandhi diet. No, I earned my stripes honestly. Consider a typical working day of a French Chef (me): 4am Wake up (or stay awake from night before). Do several wake-me-up lines of cocaineContinue reading “Where Did My Appetite Go?”
Just Sayin’
The first story that catches my eye was about how a person was denied a position by a recruiter because she wanted to negotiate their salary. What’s the problem? At the height of my career as an Executive Chef, I was recruited by TGI Fridays to be their Corporate Chef down in Texas. The recruiterContinue reading “Just Sayin’”
What Have I Missed?
An English football club just won the insanely-difficult treble; they won the Premier League, the FA Cup, and now, the crowning Champions’ League. At least a Manchester team won, just not my Manchester team. Maybe next year for my Red Devils. I always swear off even looking at the website, but inevitably have to findContinue reading “What Have I Missed?”
Who’s to Blame?
Everyone does it. Not many people are evolved enough to go through life without blaming someone or something. For the most part, I am good with my spot on the totem pole of athletes. Nowhere near the top, but also no way near the bottom, either. When you combine a fierce resolve to win withContinue reading “Who’s to Blame?”
Ego
No, not yet another proffered treatise on a saturated subject. Aaron Rodgers. Talk about narcissists. I just got pissed at myself because by writing about this douchebag I am just perpetuating his yet-to-be-released Broadway smash one-man show while he sits in voluntary solitary confinement to come to a decision on his future. Get over yourselfContinue reading “Ego”
My Three Cents
If you saw my blog yesterday, I need to take some of my own medicine. Just when I proclaimed that our lawmakers in Congress would never come together on anything, that they were too divisive to get anything done, they pass a bill by a vote tally of 419-0. There’s a reason I am notContinue reading “My Three Cents”
The Hunt for Red October
A great read by Tom Clancy and so technical that I feel he explains it well enough that I could pull a five-hundred foot long nuclear attack submarine out of dock and head to open sea. Just like in the movie, the Russians have lost a huge nuclear submarine. The headline said they lost it,Continue reading “The Hunt for Red October”
No Complaints
When it comes to dining out, I possess a great deal of empathy for people employed in the food service industry, from the dishwasher trainee to the prissy Executive Chef; all of them. In my career, and you have heard this a thousand times before, I’m sure, but I started at the lowest of theContinue reading “No Complaints”
It’s Not What You Know
It’s who you know. No question about it. In some Middle Eastern cultures, they believe that everyone has “markers” in their life that guide, inform, and help them as they make their way through this world. I’ve had several myself; I include my big brother Ed as one, as he was very supportive of meContinue reading “It’s Not What You Know”
