My humblest apologies for taking another lengthy break between blog updates. A lot has happened in the last few weeks as I continue to figure out what I’m supposed to do with all of my wonderful culinary training. For now, I’m happy to say that I’m still working at the Fatted Calf store in San [...]

My First Week at Fatted Calf
With the grand opening of Fatted Calf Charcuterie’s first San Francisco outlet occurring less than a week ago, things at the store are still somewhat hectic as the dozen or so new team members (myself included) that were hired familiarize themselves with the new digs. For people like myself with limited retail experience on their [...]
Fatted Calf
I wasn’t really planning on taking such a long break from the blog (it’s been over a month since my last post) – I guess I’ve just fallen victim to a serious case of writer’s block over these last few weeks. It’s not for lack of inspiration when it comes to food as the wife [...]
So What’s Next?
Today marks the end of my 12 week internship at America’s Test Kitchen. As discussed in my last post, I’ve had a good experience at ATK over these last few months, feeling like I’ve taken some real steps towards becoming a better cook. Coming off of my short lived ‘restaurant experiment’, it was really interesting [...]
Internship Update
As I enter the final week of my 12 week internship at America’s Test Kitchen, I realize it’s been a few weeks since I’ve provided any kind of update. To make a long story short, as a result of some of the things that I’ve previously blogged about, current ATK employees are no longer allowed [...]
Internship Recap – Week 7
Week 7 of my internship has come and passed, with this week marking the end of the three week filming period for the America’s Test Kitchen TV show. As far as I can gather, filming went off without any major glitches or snafus. I imagine that after 11 years of doing this, the film crew, [...]
Internship Recap – Week 6
The end of my sixth week at America’s Test Kitchen means that I am now halfway through my internship; I really can’t believe how quickly it has flown by so far. TV show production continued this week, the highlight of which included a full day devoted to filming a number of outdoor grilling segments. Here [...]
Internship Recap – Week 5 – TV Time!
As promised, I finally brought my camera into work with me, just in time to capture the filming of America’s Test Kitchen’s 11th season, which began this week. My regularly scheduled work as an intern continued this week with grocery and mise en place duties still being my primary responsibilities. On top of that, myself [...]
Internship Recap – Week 4
TV filming begins next week and you can cut the tension in the test kitchen with an 8″ chef’s knife as people (including all of us interns) spent a good part of the week cleaning, organizing and getting ready for the ensuing madness. For the 11th season of the America’s Test Kitchen TV show, the [...]
Internship Recap – Week 3
Unfortunately, this week, I don’t have too much that’s terribly exciting to report. The chocolate testing from the previous week continued this week with me preparing another six batches of tasty chocolate brownies. I also prepared the next round of chocolate testing, which will involve 12 different preparations and tastings of ganache, a mixture of [...]
