Calm Before The Storm. Bit Of A Long Day For Me Today. Even Though I'm Not Scheduled To Be On, I Still

Calm before the storm. Bit of a long day for me today. Even though I'm not scheduled to be on, I still did a lovely 10.5 hour day. 4.5 at @eatsofasia standing in (just for the month of November), and the other 6.5 helping @charbar_yyc plate a 250-person dinner at @telus_spark #YYC. Off site catering events is one thing I had gotten used to while I was working at @barcelonayyc with @chefgass. But I don't think I've ever done a 250 person event. But @chadrittenhouse got us through it...can't imagine the pressure he was under. It's just another #GreatDayofLearning. #ChefApprenticeLife #yyc (at Telus Spark)

Tonight's feature raw application on #GardeManger: Ahi tuna ceviche in an aji panca & yuzu "gazpacho", topped with crispy rice, seeds and sprouts. I did my best Chef Jess (@charbar_yyc), I hope I got it right. #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #theartofplating

Doing some plating practice. Ceviche de camarón, greens, spicy lèche de tigre, micro cilantro. Working a long weekend doesn't have to be boring, since it's always a good time to learn. #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #theartofplating

@ChefKennyK's posse. A night to remember, and a night to continue growing from. Promise you next time chef, We'll get you to the top of that podium! (I hope...) (Pic once again courtesy of @dishnthekitchen) #TeamWorkshop #ChefApprenticeLife #yyc #yycfood #cooks #chefs

I found this one when I woke up this morning. Don't know how it happened but this is super cool. #Selfie with @roy_ohhhhhh, @chefdly AND @chefjinhee. All of them are super cool people. :) (Oh and Chef Jinhee won gold @GoldMedalPlates #YYC last night. Her cha ca La Vong was absolutely jaw droppingly stunning...that's the dish I REALLY wish I could have tasted!) #TeamWorkshop #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #evliving #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #f52grams #Jarrytype (at Calgary TELUS Convention Centre)

The lineup of last night's entries @Goldmedalplates #YYC. Some stunning work was on display last night, to say the least. Kinda wish I could've tasted a few of them, though. #TeamWorkshop #ChefApprenticeLife #theartofplating #yycfood #yyceats #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #evliving #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #f52grams #Jarrytype (at Calgary TELUS Convention Centre)
