Biagio’s

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on the site.
Since moving into the new house, (I still haven’t posted a picture of my lab, aka my home kitchen) I’ve been pretty busy. Home ownership is a job on it’s own.
To top it off, my desktop computer has crapped out. I guess the french saying is true!
“Les cordonniers sont toujours les plus mal chaussés”
Translated means: “The shoe maker always has holly shoes”

IT GUYS = CRAP COMPUTERS
COOKS = EMPTY FRIDGES

This is a trend @ my house! LOL

Last week I got a call from Dominic Dion @ Biagio’s. Dom and I worked together at Biagio’s for a couples months before I took the job @ the Marriott. The holidays season is around the corner and one of the cooks walked out, poor Wilson!!! Dom wanted to know if I could jump in and help him out. Since I don’t have a job in the kitchen and could use the spare money I jumped on the occasion.

So far I’ve worked 3 shifts, on my last shift of the week Mike Ziola the General Manager asked me to look @ his new years menu. I wish I still had a copy of it, regardless I shredded it and came up with my own.

I hope he approves my menu!
Here’s my take on a New Year Menu

This site will be dedicated to anything regarding Food, Restaurants and my employment within the food industry in Ottawa.

By night I’m @ line cook, currently employed by the Ottawa Marriott.

This site is the perfect location for me to join both my passions!
