update
so spring is here and the snow is starting to slow down. Everyone you can see dead muddy grass poking through and rocks. The temps are warmer and its snowing less and less. We're getting through the spring break push right now and then we'll be pretty much home free. the mountain closes for the winter on april 13th and after a super busy and fairly stressful season i'm ready.
A few weeks ago, Brian, the bully ranch chef who i was the sous chef for was fired unexpectedly (to me anyways). Over the course of the two weeks until Alex, the sous chef of the banquet department was named the new chef I was running the restaurant. I worked 12 of 14 days and worked 12 hour shifts. The stretch ended right before my birthday, which was great.
speaking of my birthday, it was pretty mellow. Myself and my roommate Matt went to Ludwig's, which is the fine dining restaurant in the hotel. We had a five course meal that was paired with wine FOR FREE. The dinner ended with each of us getting a glass of Armagnac (like cognac) which was $45 a glass, also for FREE. Lots of post dinner wine was also drank.
anyways, with Alex becoming the new Chef of the Bully ( i opted to not even apply for the job as I was not interested in it) I will be moving to the Banquet department of the hotel, which right now is very low stress, but will pick up in the summertime.
I'm excited for the silverstein boys to be in denver next week as well as my friend John from chicago.
I'm excited to surprise my dad for his birthday in april.
and possibly seeing Tommy and Hot Water Music in san diego at the start of may.
and the Foo Fighters at Red Rocks in july!
