Hired
Well, after 2 weeks of negotiations between a few places, I have a job.
Arancino Di Mare
There were a LOT of options but ultimately this had the best "overall" feeling of what I wanted. I will be working AM hours(after being groomed)so I have nights with AF, 5 day work week(Sundays and Mondays off
), and compared to my old mainland job of the last few years a VERY mild week at 45-50 hours as compared to 80-100. Having been the Executive Chef for the last 9 years it will be awesome to just be a manager and "clock in and out" with out all the headache.
I worked last Friday to feel things out. I am not "wild" about Italian(my first restaurant I opened was Italian and kicked my ass with almost 1000 people a night)but I must say, the food here is well rounded, not over stated yet attractively presented, and overall fundamentally correct. I can do Italian all day with my eyes closed so it will just be a matter of learning how they are doing it and adapting to it. People seem VERY nice and very warm and welcoming, restaurant is attractive, plate ware is sexy, and they are offering some pretty cool offerings that are new to me. Oh, and they do have a GREAT wine list!
Anywho, I am pleased. Just wanted to pass stuff along. If anyone ever wants to come down and have breakfast/lunch/dinner, let me know, I will be sure to look out for ya'.
