It has been a long While

So I created this blog last year and then got tied up with so much, that I let it go. Today I am basically starting over. A lot has gone on since I started Salty Parts. I left my position at Cibo Matto and have become the Chef at The Florentine Restaurant, also in Chicago. In addition personally I got engaged, and could not be happier about both. We are currently in week seven since we opened. Let me tell you it has been the most challenging, and most rewarding experiences I have had. I was lucky enough to have most of my staff from Cibo Matto join me here. Most importantly my two Sous Chefs, Mark and Rusty. With out them it would have been rough, really rough. Today we were awarded three stars by the Chicago Tribune. It was an incredible review and made me very proud of our entire staff. It is kind of crazy to be reviewed so quickly, I really did not think we were ready yet, but the last few weeks have felt really good. We really feel like we are starting to click. So for tonight I will leave you with that, and promise that there will be a lot more to come. Thanks to those of you that have dined with us so far, and to those who have not, we look forward to having you soon!
