100,000 page views milestone 2008-09-11 19:12:21 So I suppose it was bound to happen. My website that I build (originally) to be my CV online has now had 100,000 + page views
! This seemed like an unreachable goal not too long ago and now that it has happened I can focus on something else…like 500,000…
I would like to take a minute [...] Read more:milestone

Glass Door update - 9-2008 2008-09-02 13:56:02 After a busy weekend (Labor day) I find myself a s a chef reflecting back on the last couple of days.

Our Products part 2 - Produce 2008-09-24 15:40:19 As a chef, I have always tried to procure the best possible produce for the restaurants I have been in charge of. Back in the Blue Chalk/Steelhead brew days, I was lucky enough to meet Stuart Dickson, the farmer (at the time) at Stone Free Farm in Watsonville CA.
My experiences with Steelhead and Stuart was [...] Read more:Products
Our Products Part 1 - Pork 2008-09-22 12:32:01 Now that I have a quick minute to catch my breath, I thought it would be a good time to begin the discussion on the products that the Glass Door uses.

New ad for the Glass Door in 944 mag 2008-10-30 02:52:40 Here is the first “peek” at our new ad for 944 magazine. I have to say that Draven did a great job, along with the crew over at 944 to come up with such a striking ad. I find that it portrays the restaurant in just the right light and offers those who have not [...] Read more:Glass
Lunch Menu Highlight - Salad Niçoise 2008-10-22 23:42:00 Lunch is one of my favorite meals, especially here in San Diego.

I have designed the lunch menu at the Glass Door around some [...] Read more:Highlight

This means that I am the one cooking around my house, and now that I am back in San Diego I am sure that I will be doing my fair share this year. While living oversees and in NorCal [...]

Dragonfruit or Pitaya 2008-11-12 15:39:55 Between the hotel and moving my residence I have had no time to write about anything. I was shopping at 99 ranch the other day and saw, much to my surprise one of my all time favorite fruits…Dragonfruit. Either by not paying attention when I am shopping or just some bad luck/timing I have not [...]
Macaroni and Cheese recipe 2008-12-03 20:51:03 So now it’s cold…I have been (in my mind) dreading this time of year since last year. The days are oh so short, the sun never seems to warm up the days and the nights and early mornings are chilly to say the least. As much as I love the heat of summer (and winter [...] Read more:Cheese
