Very excited to be participating...

Today the food network is hosting a new show at James Beach our local haunt in Venice. The show stars Anne Burrell and is called Chef Wanted. Being regulars AC and I got an invite.

4:00pm might be a tad early for wining and dining, but I think we can handle it. We arrived early and the film crew was still setting up. Across the the street is the LA Louver Gallery. There's a wonderful show there. Charles Garabedian and Matt Wedel. The sculpture above is by Matt Wedel.

R.Cronks wall mural of Abbot Kinney. hes very tall. The food was really good. Maybe I'll post some pics later. Update! Each episode features a different restaurant. A number of different chefs come in and prepare meals for a completely full dining room. A different group is brought in for every chef applying.  At the end the chef with the most positive response is offered the job. We were served the winning chefs meal and loved it. He was hired! however he was let go some 4 or 5 months later. Oh well on to the next one.
