My name is Dan and I am a Canadian chef working in Italy. Not having much experiences with blogs, and american cuisine (been away from North America for 5 years), I found your site very interesting.
Your style is excellent…beautiful plates, and ideas. Definitely on par with your European counterparts. My compliments to your chef as well, as he/she is doing a great job guiding you.
Good luck, and thanks for the interesting blog
thank you very much Danny. Where are you working in Italy. I spent a couple of months working in Toscana and Lombardia. i really want to move to piemonte at some time and open up a really chill gastronomical cuisine restaurant with my wife. I fell in love with the areas around barbaresco and alba.
there is really no chef that guided me to think the way i do with food. i think that is what drives me to think outside of the box and create new things keep in touch or email me at brad_kilgore@yahoo.com
Don’t open up anything in Italy…it is a mess here. The only thing you will learn here if you open up something is how to suffer and loss money. Italy is not an even playing field. Just because your good, and you have a good idea doesn’t mean a thing. Trust me on this. I have been here for 4 years, and I would never invest a dime here.
Spain is good as well as france… this is where I will hope to work next. Right now I am in a little town of Rovereto, which is north of Verona and south of Trento. I work alone in a Osteria and have a constantly changing limited menu. I have brought the quality of the place up in the last 2 years, however, there is only so much you can do for 45-55 covers alone.
I am hoping to get into a 2 or 3 star place…but I need some luck i think.
Anyway, good job again, I will certainly keep checking your blog…and maybe one day create one myself.
Take care
thats realllll nice
Very nice blog, keep it up.
