And the doors are open…………………….. Blog #54

Hello everyone. Sorry it’s been awhile. I’ve had quite an interesting, but slow, two months.  I did go back to Toronto for my competition (Discovered Chefs Culinary Competition). I was lucky to have made it to the semi finals in January but didn’t fare very well this time. I ended up getting cut after the appetizer round!  However, it was a great experience and a wonderful opportunity. I attended the after party and met famous Chefs such as David Adjey, Anna Olson, Christina Cushing and Glen Palozie.  I didn’t win but I loved every minute of the competition. Plus, the two nights away from the Resto were actually a nice break.  What’s new at Le Bon Marché you ask?  I’m starting to get live music on the weekends so stay tuned for info on upcoming entertainment. We also did our first Green Hour (“L’heure Verte”) dinner in February. It was a great night and I was pleased with the outcome. Last week we were able to open up the garage door for the first time. The sunshine was beautiful. We doubled our business on those days and it was nice to see ppl sitting outside enjoying lunch and dinner. Sol, my cook, has put in his notice as he is off to Huntsville to show off his talents. We’ve replaced him with Josh. Josh has been “picking up what I’m putting down” already and he is gelling with Cam. Kenny and Jann were away for a bit as well. Kenny is back now and Jann will be with us at the end of the month.

So with the good weather on its way, I see nothing but busy days and good times at L.B.M. Have a great week everyone and I’ll blog at you later!
