He shoots….he scores!
FInding a local place to have a pint is the best. Limon is just at the end of the street, and has become my go to place here in Denver. The bartender, wait staff and the chef all know me, and have enjoyed me strolling in for my daily pint, treating me like one of the family.
As I was sitting there, the chef came out of the kitchen for his pint of the night and seeing as how I am now a regular, started chatting with me. As we were there talking, formal introductions finally came out. Here is how the conversation went…
“From Indiana, huh? Nice. Doing your pastry Intern at Rioja, impressive. They really do a good job there. But I tell you what. You pastry people are an odd breed, with your getting up early, precision, repetition. Such an important part of any good kitchen. It’s like if you have a great hockey team, you guys are the goalies. Cheers!”
And off he went back to the kitchen. It was a random conversation, but made me smile to know that us pastry folks are appreciated every now and then.
