This is not the best week for seafood. My man Jonathan is on vacation so I had to buy from a new guy. Actually he wasn't bad at all. He can get me my Beau Soleil Oysters that I've been looking for and some wild stripped bass by this Friday. This is the same company that will fly me to Boston in early April to take a look at their operation.

So we all survived dining week! My front staff worked so hard. Poor Ali has been married to the phone the whole month of February. I have barely had time to talk to her! The whole staff is so grateful to the restaurant and to all the customers. Thanks a million to all of those who came in to support us.

Only 4 days of dining week left to push through. We are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! It has been fun to be able to serve a new crowd.

Well we survived the first week of dining week. The staff is pretty tired but happy to be busy. The kitchen is bored with the menu already. It is so small and very predictable. Good thing we are changing it up a little this week.

Sorry there were are lot of calls for the name of that Greek restaurant on my lasted post. It was called Taxim.

I did not get back to my blog last week. I was training staff in the kitchen almost the whole time.

How about we don't talk about fish this week. I think I will lay low and order Halibut again. There was nothing else interesting available... nothing that made my blood move.

John our seafood guy shipped us Blue Fin Tuna today! I just finished cutting it. From the 16lbs I got in we only got 2 1/2 to 3lbs of sashimi. The rest will be used for the line as 1st grade Blue Fin. Enjoy!

My name is Max, I am the chef at Lemon Grass and Bistro Elephant. I have created this blog to keep everyone up to date on what to expect next from our kitchen. This blog will mirror the every day life at the Lemon Grass, the way it has been done for twenty years.
