Didn’t know if you read linecook415@blogspot.com. But he just wrote a piece about stagieres in restaurants. It made me think of your stage and I would say you nailed it.

Glad you had fun. Sounds like a blast. I’m doing my Hatteras Fishing Captain series in a couple of years, and I’ll let you know how it turns out.

I could almost picture myself in your shoes, huddled over a cutting board dicing shallots and assembling plates. Keep up the great work, I hope you get to write about another similar experience soon.

However, I can say that there are not many places that can even come close to matching all that Herons has to offer. It is luxurious, and yes, it is expensive. But it’s really damn good.

YES! It’s amazing when kids are given the opportunity to appreciate amazing food. Plus he’s just so dang adorable.

Also, it has been a real pleasure reading about your experience in the Heron’s kitchen. You did a great job putting us right there in the kitchen with you!

What a terrific insight to what happens in one of the best restaurants in our area. I wonder if you now consider it, “The” best. Thank you for having the courage to do this and share it with your readers.
