Fred likes my work? There is a great crew in that pastry kitchen, I love the chocolate lab! I wonder what might become of "Lacroix chocolate's?"

well put. especially love.

He certainly did.

Thank you very much bigboss, it is a great opportunity for me. Fred is awesome, he is a wealth of knowledge. I had made it a point to Chef and Fred that I wanted to execute my vision with support and guidance from the rest of the team. They were all in favor. I only hope that it can remain that way in a stage like Lacroix.

It's true. That was one reason I wanted to be at Lacroix, not only to work with Chef, but Fred too. Now that Chef is "gone", I feel lucky to still have someone to learn and grow with. Chef is still coming in for brunch, he was in yesterday too. So he hasn't left completely.

I recently joined the Lacroix team a month ago as the pastry chef. I am very excited to be a part of this restaurant, but everything I am reading on this thread is making me weary. It is true that the kitchen has gone through some turnover as of late, but the people who are there, truly care about the work they are doing (from what I can see anyway) Chef will still be a part of what goes on at the restaurant, but to what extent I do not know. It would really be a shame to see such a beautiful restaurant, with the reputation it has, to be diminished because the chef whose name is on the door is no longer there. I am optimistic of the future, but I cannot ignore the obvious facts. Only time will tell. I will still give 110% everyday no matter who is at the helm, that's just me. Also, it really is amazing to see the loyal following that Chef Lacroix has built in this city.
