Photographing Bittersweet
On September 17, 2011
Is it me or does summer just seem to fly by? I always have more plans than time during the summer, some stuff I get to, some things get put off and some appear out of nowhere. Back in July, Olav Peterson, a friend and chef/owner of Bittersweet, Denver’s current best restaurant, asked me to [...]
I’m living every dad’s dream right now, a little break from the family. The mrs. has left and taken both the girls with her to Europe for two months. For now, there is no more fighting for bathroom time, no snarky remarks about sports on TV, no crying, no spilled bowls of cereal, no arguments [...]
Seared Chinook Salmon, Lobster-Corn Chowder, Tarragon Oil
On May 18, 2011
I’ve always prided myself on the fact that I rarely cook with butter and/or cream. When I started in this business, it was cream sauce this, butter sauce that, and while there are a myriad of things that you can do with each in regards to making sauces, none were ever exciting to me. They [...]
Vietnamese Beef Pho
On June 14, 2010
No matter the situation, if you look hard enough you’re bound to find a silver lining. Something that makes all the hell you’re going through worth it, or just something you want to take with you. I’ve posted several times about my experience with corporate cooking, how it wasn’t a good fit and how I [...]
Greek Salad ‘Salsa’ Bruschetta
On May 26, 2010
One of the great perks to being a working chef with a little reputation is the ability to consult with and for other restaurants. Usually this means taking on the role of the chef for a particular period of time or it could just be menu and recipe development, hiring a chef or any of [...]
Are you really qualified to review my restaurant?
On May 7, 2010
While I was deciding what to do with my stale website, I really had no interest in blogging or bloggers. I didn’t really know what it was. Then the more I got into photography, the more time I spent on the internet reading the blogs of photographers. They posted pictures, gave tips and let you [...]
So YOU wanna be a Chef?
On May 7, 2010
You’ve watched the Food Network since you were knee-high to a Wagyu calf. You helped your (mom, grandmother, older sister, best friends uncles mistress) in the kitchen and like a sponge you soaked it all in. You’ve thrown dinner parties that were such a success (they still talk about your Thanksgiving turkey) that people have [...]
How much is that bottle in the window?
On May 7, 2010
Restaurant wine pricing, is there anything more aggravating than paying $40 for a bottle of wine you could pick up at the local liquor store about $15? It really doesn’t seem all that fair and as a consumer you’re certainly obliged to feel like you’ve been taken to the cleaners. You’ve heard the arguments that [...]

I, like many chefs, have always had a bittersweet anticipation of the holidays. That stretch from Thanksgiving through New Years is filled with holiday parties, special dinners, romantic dates, midnight kisses and lots and lots of alcohol. Unfortunately, not so much for myself or my chef brethren. [...]
The Signature of a Chef

Every chef has one. For some, the dish may have evolved from something simple. For others, the signature dish was carefully designed, tested and executed. Either way, it is this dish that shows where the true heart and soul of a chef lies. Is he a master [...]
