Exactly!

Hang in there Chef as it seems the light is shining brightly at the end of the tunnel.

I am going to be working with a young woman in Vancouver who is a media genius. She has suggested some type of Food Network presence at/before the opening.

Just between you and me.... it scares the hell out of me! Look at Rocco and his media team; he came across like a bungling fool. Now his investors are suing him for not taking care of their investment. I would rather concentrate on the opening details and the investor’s dollars.

This is one of the most stressful points in my life, I am not sure I want a camera in my face. What if I say a bad word, or ten!

More news soon!

Lots of FN interest....

I will post all the updates in the next week! I am in our new office as of Monday and will have time to promote the new projects (yes, that is plural!).

Chef, I would not worry about looking like an idiot like Rocco. There can only be one Rocco, if anything he has probably bought real chefs a little wiggle room, ya know. Besides your not going to have your 70+ year old mom in the kitchen while tooling around YVR on your Vespa -are you?!

…luckily my mother is only 64 and of Scottish decent!

Good Luck Chef! Hopefully you'll be open by the time I go to Vancouver in July. Did I miss the name of the place to be? Did my school externship at the Diva back in 2000 and have not to B.C. since I graduated. Can't wait...

EDIt to add: Saw a recent O.S. about a new place from the chef who did/does own Le Provence.

Looks like it is going to be in the Granville area.
