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.

One for the Team

Some anonymous viewer asked for some action shots on the blogsite so I took one this morning and added it to the site. What you don’t see is 30 min later as we tried to purée the tomato sauce in the large Blitzer machine, the top exploded and 3 gallons flew all around the kitchen. Luckily I was in front of it and took most of the sauce for the team. Sorry, just didn’t have the heart to take that action photo so you’ll just have to imagine it.

Needless to say, a new uniform, wiping off the shoes, changing the hat, quick face wash and we were right back at it. I wonder how many of you foodies have a favorite kitchen disaster story of your own that you’d air in public?

Cooking is like golf, you may get a bit rusty if you don’t play the game that often but once you do get back into it, everything just floods back and the next thing you know your right back in your game. I may have been a Chef Manager for the past 20 years, but cooking for a 1000 per meal this week has me hustling all day, and the good news is that we shot a few birdies in our game today and the diners are ecstatic about the food.

    Tell Chef Smith thanks for the tweet with the link to this blog. It's going to be fun reading a daily journal of the monumental efforts being made to feed the athletes, trainers, staff, etc. Looking forward to it.

    And once it's done, could you please prevail upon Chef Smith to get his cooking show back on U.S. television? Thanks.

    Hey cousin Bill that was me (Cheryl) asking for the action shots. I've been there...in a smaller quantity with red pepper soup on the ceiling and all over the kitchen...
    Thanks for sharing. I have to admit that I laughed at your story! We're having our own Iron Chef party tonight at a friends place. Can hardly wait! and we've told loads of people.
