Soup Fellas,

I graduated from McFatter culinary shool in Ft Lauderdale, FL in 2004. I participated in ACF and VICA cooking competitions back then and still maintain my ACF membership.
Now i work at a radiocarbon dating labratory and its very similar to cooking in some regards. I've gotten permission to bring home liquid nitrogen and dry ice so mess around and learn more about molecular gastronomy, and it makes me want to find another chef that uses these preparations.

My last job in the industry was working as a sous chef (08/09-03/11) at Josef's www.josefsplantation.com
Austro-Northern Italian fine dining, theres a video with an interview and shows some of the styles and info about the restuarant

unfortuately the last couple years with the economy in south florida (and our suburban location) he couldnt afford us and let us go one by one over the course of march and he closed shortly there after

before that i was a bartender at a buca di beppo for 3 years next to the orlando airport so can shoot the shit on drinks too ( although i just prefer the oldest scotch i can get)

i host themed dinner parties every month for my friends too
last week made authentic pad thai, spring rolls and duck lettuce wraps and lots of sake lol


very cool forum ill be trollin it on the regular lol
