Guest Chef and Homeless Court

The Guest Chef Event was last night. I enjoyed seeing all the different types of food Chef Dupuis of Picán Restaurant and the Kitchen of Champions students had to prepare. I got to try some of the dishes and I enjoyed everything, especially the chocolate brownie-like pastry dessert. I liked this event, and the other guest Chef from À Côté, because I was able to see some new foods that I have never seen before. The mood was nice and classy as there was a jazz band, fine wine, and formal dress. As a server, I ran the food out to the guests, serving ladies first and from the guest’s left side. When the guest was finished with a dish, I reached for the empty plate from the right side. The rules are important.

It is a busy week. Tomorrow Homeless Court will be conducted at St. Vincent de Paul’s Community Center. All clients expect to have their tickets dismissed, and I do not think that they will be disappointed.
