The March of Mid-Summer
Mike:
As I look
over my shoulder I see July both near and distant. Standing firmly in August a
sense of accomplishment, wonderment, and exhaustion fill the air. Where has the
time gone? It feels as though May was only moments ago. Continuing to
look back I recall a flurry of memories; orders placed, and dishes plated;
countless fish seared and pasta rolled; also the company of friends and the
comradery that they provide. One can not do work like this without
depending on others. As I anticipated when our doors opened this season my team
is capable of great things. I feel fortunate to be working alongside such
ambitious individuals. The phrase long days and quick weeks echoes in my mind.
I continue to find rejuvenation in my craft. The space for creativity to
exist is inspiring.
The hotels
garden is now in full production. I still find visiting that place humbling.
Twice a week a delivery is made. The contents are the fruits of many labors and
endless hours of work. After they’re prepared they provide nutrition, and
captivation. Wholesome food is a delight to the senses.
Much like
the garden the restaurant is also in full swing. It would seem that they hit
their strides simultaneously. Both entities are carried further into the season
on the shoulders of those determined to feed the momentum. Driven by
inertia and fueled by creativity the collaboration in our operation is nothing
shy of incredible. Surely something this inspiring will continue to be so.
Cheers!
Mike
