Respect

A message to all current and future cooks and chefs.

Food.

This is it. This is where it comes from. Cute, little, harmless animals that are killed for our future enjoyment.

This animal was alive. He felt the sting of death.

We don't think of this when food is ingested, but it shoud be thought of when it is prepared.

The respect given to food should always be thought of with this in mind, this image. DO NOT waste what's in front of you. DO NOT mis-season. DO NOT burn. DO NOT leave out in the TDZ. DO NOT let something die without treating it with the proper respect and love that it deserves to make it into an incredible piece of perfection.

In short, if this IS your career, THIS is your clientelle and if he's not happy you shouldn't be either.....and he's dead. Better make it worth it.
