If I could do it all again and all that...Still, the most important thing for me is that I have achieved what I set out to do. On Monday I took charge of the kitchen for the first time and managed service without any mishaps, injuries or customer complaints. It's a position I didn't think I'd be in so early but one I feel fully comfortable to hold. Let me know when you are in town again, although I fear your critique having seen your review of Mugaritz!<BR/><BR/>All the best<BR/><BR/>PetePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18392638935081196049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4165614400546924920.post-28716078747674832572008-10-21T13:26:00.000+01:002008-10-21T13:26:00.000+01:00Congratulations!

Sadly, work gets in the way of brunching times, such a shame as it's my favourite meal.Hollow Legshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152329184111658897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4165614400546924920.post-2677592697512418582008-10-20T12:39:00.000+01:002008-10-20T12:39:00.000+01:00Congrats - definitely going to have to pop by and ...Congrats - definitely going to have to pop by and grabs some eggs - I have some friends that work round there so will let them know tooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4165614400546924920.post-26166574960638673992008-10-15T20:50:00.000+01:002008-10-15T20:50:00.000+01:00Well done Pete.

So fine dining is clearly something you both understand and appreciate.<BR/><BR/>But I guess you are right. I'm 15 years younger and without family commitments, which is what makes it possible for me when it's not really possible for you.<BR/><BR/>To be offered a sous chef position is absolutely fantastic and you must be really thrilled. I know a bit about antipodean cooking, having studied Australian cuisine for my college project and worked with the amazing Peter Gordon for two weeks. So next time I'm in London I will come and eat with you. I expect a VIP table, of course! At least a gratis plate of lemon myrtle crusted barramundi.<BR/><BR/>Btw, Charlotte Place has a long history of excellent little eateries dating back 30 years or more. My dad used to eat there in the 1980s.<BR/><BR/>All the very best and well done.<BR/>TrigTrighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927170464854320199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4165614400546924920.post-64242955576134865672008-10-15T17:54:00.000+01:002008-10-15T17:54:00.000+01:00Thanks for your comment Kai, hope to see you at La...Thanks for your comment Kai, hope to see you at Lantana soon.

As a New Zealander, I have been missing the cafe culture I am so used to for about 2 and a half years now! My week used to be based around cafes and coffee (Mon - Thur meant meetings at cafes or dropping in for the regular flat white on the way to work, Fridays meant breakfast with my friends, Saturdays brunch with my husband and Sundays coffee and cake after a visit to the market).<BR/><BR/>I have sent your blog around to all my kiwi and Australian friends and can't wait to drop in!Kaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01162798219818625172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4165614400546924920.post-14994471556160129292008-10-12T19:47:00.000+01:002008-10-12T19:47:00.000+01:00Congrats!
