Hope you enjoy my 28 minutes with Sylvia Henderson, Host and Creator of "Think About It" a weekly show on Channel 16 in Montgomery County, Md.
Love to hear any comments, and what would you "ask a Chef"??
Finishing up my Saturday night here at Visions, and just HAD TO POST about what an experience it's been getting railed by at first, being educated, and befriending the "Pacific Northwest Steelheaders" and my new friend Todd Ripley. His story is two sided, he works with the Wild Steelhead Coalition for his passion about the Steelhead population, and his company rvrfshr Products sells "Specialty Steelhead Tackle...Correct in Design". You see, Todd was involved in my most active post to date from about two weeks ago. I had put up information from a local supplier about the availability of Steelhead in the coming months. Since I had served many times at McCormick & Schmick's (my prior gig before opening up Visions), I was excited to see it back! Well, little did I know the people I was going to stir up with that post, as well as the education I'd soon be receiving!

I can identify with this, but realize how hard it is to have been awarded 3 Michelin stars, and to have to give them back due to health reasons…but it’s the true reality. Kitchen and restaurant work is long hours, stress, pressure, beauty, passion, and a whole lot of multi-tasking and problem solving. Skills I’ll put up against any suit or 9-5 er.
Now, hopefully he’s got an exit strategy so that he can catapault his amazing knowledge into something else? Like me, I’ve gotten very cozy with technolog, social media and web design. I’m now trying to train others to learn the trade that has made me so happy…pay it forward!
