The Knife - Heartbeats

First Some music.
The Knife- Heartbeats

I heard this band at work and i like there stuff, they're Swedish and Have been around for a while.

Well its been a while since i updated the blog, Mainly being busy at work. Which is going well Neil the current head chef and i have got along well as it turns out we have worked at the same places recently but not while we were both there and we usually chat about who we think was shit and who was good. He is leaving in a week to take over the Healesville Hotel As head chef, and we have been talking about what he has planned for the place, Neil is an English trained chef and has worked in some Awesome European restaurants. So he has big plans for Healesville, and wants to get it back to 2 chefs hats after it lost one last year. And during the past conversations a job offer has come about and im not sure what i wanna do, it would be awesome to work somewere like Healesville but id have to move their. But would be a good chance to get away from melbourne and focus on work. Plus earn some good money before possibly doing some real travel.

Got a Job!

Well had a trial last night at Souk Restaurant, which serves greek/middle eastern inspired food and is one of my favourite foods, i worked in middle eastern restaurants for 2 years and loved it. The owner/head chef George Bilionis was also head chef at Mecca and Mecca Bah before i worked there and runs Souk quite similar to Mecca and Mecca Bah. So i had the trial last night and all went well and he offered me the job and i start on tuesday. It aint rockpool but hes promised me what i was after and thats more cooking. The kitchen is laid back and im looking forward to working with everyone.

Thats all for now.
