As of Sunday August 31, 2009, the Crane Brook Restaurant, will be no more. It has been a magical journey for me and my wife. We have met some amazing people and built friendships that will last several lifetimes. This experience has been quite humbling for me as a chef, to work in a building with such history and to be able to stand on the same line that countless amazing chefs have once stood. Meeting Don Mckeag has become one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me. He has his way of treating everyone around, like family. Like a nurturing father or a drunk uncle....The memories that I have accumulated since my arrival, mixed with the magical beauty of this building....I could never forget....Yesterday, about 20 people came into the kitchen teary eyed, asking me what my next move is gonna be?? I'm not sure...Do I jump right into another job, or do give my wife some of the quality family time she always yearns for. I literally just worked 31/2 years non-stop, no vacation, one holiday a year....On the search for perfection in my craft....I'm interviewing and we'll all see. Some people fear change....I've learned to embrace it. Every kind of change is a new chapter in our lives, a notch in our legacy....I am very excited to see what life is gonna bring to my door step. Once again thank you all for your love and support; and just keep up with the blog to see whats going on.
