It’s official. I have lost all sense of self and have joined the masses who facelessly and without responsibility speak about things they “think” they know. I am here, not because I have superior knowledge nor because I suffer from the delusion that I am going to save the world from its present destructive course.
I am but a lowly chef with the desire and passion to create a small community on the central coast that sources creates and sustains food both fresh and processed. I am the Chef at Villa Creek Restaurant and am happy to be a part of an organization that values food, farmers, and integrity more than bottom lines, p&l’s and corporate buying power. We have been on this Local, sustainable, organic kick for about 4 years. It has been a tough yet rewarding battle.(more on this later) We are fortunate to have befriended mentors like the Spencers at Windrose Farm and the Pascuitto’s from Skipping Stones as well as many more.
So what will you find on this blog? Everything from Erick Cadena’s wine picks to Caffeine induced Chef rants from yours truly about the irritations inherent with running kitchens, dealing with purveyors or the life and times of western civilization. It will be informative, it will be opinionated and it may be entertaining.
It will be truthful, it will be pertinent and it will be updated.
