I like the hippo! Ha Ha. Congrats! It takes a special person such as yourself to make a decision in life such as this. Follow your passion! I admire you for making the change from corporate go to guy, to smokey, bloody, fish guy. With your passion for culinary arts you will be successful. You can now join the ranks of DS & BB well known for long lunches and fine vino. If I can help in any way just ask.
Good luck and more importantly ALWAYS have fun! Cheers!

Donkey, You are going to love it!!!! It is quite nice not to have to report to anyone other than the toughest critic you will come to know, yourself…On those days When you want to sleep in, (yes they will occur) When you want to leave early (Friday afternoons), When you want to extend a lunch hour (just one more story or glass of wine)..The reality of where the “BUCK STOPS” really sets in, and you do what you know you must do, “Get It Done”….Not everyone is cut out for an endeavour of this nature…I believe you are .
As was said last week, do we really MOURN THE LOSS OF lawyer..Or CHEER HAVING A perfectionist who can SMOKE,& CURE FISH,AND CONFIT MEAT, JOIN THE ENTREPRENEURIAL RANKS …..!!!!!!!! HERE’S TO THE LATTER!!
Donna and I wish you the best.Congrats..ds

Michael,
We are thrilled for you and wish you nothing but the best! Knew it was something that eventually would come – and a great use of your talents as an accomplished “cook” (or more appropriately chef!) – as well as a wonderful teacher. It’s wonderful that you will be sharing your talent with so many! Can’t wait to taste the new products!
You know you have our support and will help in any way we can! Best of everything!

Michael, I am VERY excited for you! Wow, this is a big move and takes a lot of chutzpah.

Indeed you are an accomplished cook (“cook” may be understating the case, at least a bit!) I am thrilled that I have been fortunate enough to be on the receiving end of some of your always successful “trials” over the years. You obviously have the required energy, enthusiasm, passion and talent for your new venture, all of which will serve you well for much success.

I am happy to support you in any way you think would be helpful! All the best.
