Welcome,
I've been debating this idea for some time, trying to figure out if it was safe to publish my ideas and techniques safely without them being stolen or co-opted by some unimaginative celebrity chef! Finally I came to the conclusion that if I don't start sharing what I can do, then it won't matter anyway. So this is my food blog. I write several other blogs, but I earn a living as a cook. Right now I am currently employed at a small bakery in San Francisco. I won't say the name here, but if you really want to know I might tell you-and just YOU! Anyway, my other blogs have nothing to do with food so they won't be mentioned here, if you're curious you can click this link.
I have been a professional cook for many years, I got my first kitchen job in the fast-food industry at age 14 as part of a summer program, I have stayed in the business every sense with a few detours here and there, yet I always come back to cooking. I tried to attend culinary school but I could not afford it, as I am ineligible for student loans do to the fact that I didn't want to sign up for the draft at 18. I am not regretful of that decision, but I do regret that I am unable to receive student loans even though I pay taxes, simply because I cannot fight for the government. But those are the breaks no crying over spilled milk, now the lack of formal education means I won't be working for any high-end five-star restaurants anytime soon, and but one day I will own one.
In this blog I will not be giving away any of my most prized recipes. My BBQ sauce is top secret and so is the "magic" rub, but everything else is pretty much up for grabs. Seeing as how I do this on a daily basis for a pay check I probably won't be posting everyday. I simply don't have the time or desire to whip up a full meal at home each day. At first I will load up the post with meals I have already prepared int he past and then I'll work up to what ever I am currently fixing in the kitchen. Sometimes it will be photos and descriptions, sometimes it will be full recipes, sometimes I might just make a video of me in action, it will just depend on my mood.
I drink pretty much constantly, and indulge in a little medicinal from time to time, my language will be coarse and if you are offended by any of that then you should probably stick to a safer more family friendly food blog. I will not be reviewing other peoples restaurants, food, or recipes, I don't care what you are doing so don't waste my time. I also feel pretty confident that my work is the best and all others are merely pretenders to the throne or children clambering for a bit. What will do is give you a glimpse of my genius and allow you to bask in the afterglow. Just kidding (Not really), but yeah I'm just gonna show-off, so sit back and dream of how cool it would be if you had a guy like me living in your house cooking up the bomb-ass flavor and smoking all your weed while playing X-Box 12 hour a day!
Yours Truly,
The (Indispensable) L
