What are they all?

So I think I mentioned in my last post that I’m interning at a new restaurant in Westchester this summer. It’s called North and it’s at 386 Main Street in Armonk. Tomorrow’s my last day there and it’s been an absolutely crazy, wild, incredible ride. A lot of people look at me really skeptically whenever I say that I’m interning at a restaurant and go “What does a restaurant intern do?” It’s a valid question, I guess, but the answer’s a little bit tricky because, when it comes down to it, I’ve done a little bit of everything this summer. My one big project was putting together a cheese program for the restaurant, but along the way I’ve done payroll, invoice filing, ordering, menu formatting, countless Staples runs, managing, expediting, window washing, and acting as a maître d’ – basically anything that anyone needed. This has served to create a never boring summer filled with endless interests, delights and, of course, funny stories. For instance, a man legitimately threw $20 at me last night to get a party of 2 a table around 8PM. And I mean threw, like, over the podium, right at me. It was airborn, folks. Or there was the party of 2 that stayed for 4 hours and 15 minutes tonight, nevermind the fact that their table was reserved again 1 hour and 45 minutes later. Anyways, this is a long ode to everybody at North that has helped make this summer awesome, fun, and unforgettable. I will miss you all. For everyone else, I know I’m biased, but the food is incredible and the experience is unforgettable – check out Restaurant North, 386 Main Street, Armonk, NY 10504 (914) 273-8686 www.restaurantnorth.com

Welcome

Hello world, I'm here to join the ranks of the million plus blogs devoted to a love of food.


Maybe you're asking why or, more likely, why bother? Well, it's simple to me - I've pretty much always been a foodie. There was never a big turning point in my life. At 2, I was sitting at the bar and slurping down oysters with my dad and I've been cooking and baking for pretty much as long as I can remember. During my freshman year in college, I decided to put this passion for eating to the test with an internship at Union Square Cafe, which only served to intensify it. Now, I'm heading in to my senior year and just finished another internship at North in Armonk, NY and am looking for a place in the restaurant industry next year.


This will just be another way for me to share the things I love with the world - from food to cooking to soccer to other random things that just happen to pop up along the way. I hope you'll enjoy the ride as much as I will.
