Hi, just thought i would suggest if someone needs some ideas, we could put them here and anyone could use them. I know people may be secretive, so I thought I would start by putting up some of my own things menus etc.

Lip service part 2

I haven't been on this for a while as you all know sometimes there is no time to take a dump when you work for this industry, and that is exactly how one feels, George Orwell? see the Dr seuss show or read the book "The Lorax" Well anyway's I had a superior, really? a superior? more on that word later..tell me he doesn't give a shit where the food comes from! Brazil, China wherever as long as it's cheaper, even though the food cost was 11% with organic meat, locally produced etc, not good…See More

Newbie here as well and like you not into the whole "facebook" thing but this site was recommended to me and thought it contained a lot of good stuff.
I do get to Canada, mostly Montreal a few time per year.

Later,

So far this site has lots of corperate banter but not enough chef to chef.
I've been in the buisness most of my life. My parents had a roadhouse when I was young.
The company I work for is local to Barrie and we have four locations. Two historical buildings that we run as fine dining steak and seafood, and two bars/nightclubs on the downtown strip. we are currently developing a fifth property and so far are leaning towards an upscale creole cajun theme. I have been working for Porterhouse for the past four years. Unfortunatley I have not gotten any farther west than northern Ontario
As for the weather... the snow is only just starting to melt. Spring can't come soon enough.
West coast is always ahead with food, so what's hot out there for this spring?
