The Greatest Show on Earth.....

We thought this would be the best & easiest way to keep all our family & friends up to date on our day to day happenings in Whistler. We'll try to make a post each day, however we're not going to fool ourselves. We're not young fella's any more and the days are going to be long. But we'll try our best to include as many of the highlights of our adventure of a lifetime as often as possible.

Olympic Photo's are coming

I asked Mike if he could set us up a Blog site so everyone can follow the Olympics daily from a Chef perspective with a "Behind the Scene" look at what it takes to feed upwards of 70,000 meals a week during peak periods.

Although we have a slide show already on this blog site with Olympic photo's, Mike and I will start posting our own photo's of the Olympic village and kitchen site as soon as we can. Enjoy the site.

    It will be the adventure of a life time, enjoy every minute of it. I agree with your comments that on your basic cook's course people may not have believed that you would someday be doing something like this. However, those that followed your careers from that point will not be surprised in the least - you have earned your recognition as chefs par excellence, so do yourselves proud!

    Having worked in the Sodexho environment their corporate attention to temperature taking and recording results in time taken away from the Chefs main objective of preparing the culinary aspect of preparing superior products in a timely basis and ensuring quality.The focus is sometimes detracted in a large production environment. Lets face it with professional capabilities realizing the proper holding temperatures of food items it is a reduntant practise that only meets a quality and control measures of a company that does not realize the amount of preparation and effort that goes into preparing items on a daily basis. Labour costs surmount into this endeavor of temperature recording and also detract the focus of the Chefs preparing these items.

    Good effert by all. The Iron Chef Challange was not easy, who cooks avocado for a meal. Anyways, I think the challange was awsome and I even saw bill sweating. Mike I think those non canadian judges were harsh. Cheers, Good luck in your challange of the olympics now
