Moving Forward.

The last 12 months have been a time of flux and tough decision making.
I have come to another defining moment in life where big changes need to happen, running back and forth between NYC and Philadelphia is fun and the occasional cooking gigs in LA and Miami simply make me hate coming back.

This autumn I have decided to change both compartments of my life, that is the personal and professional. I need a new job, something still related with food but with less travel. I don't mind working 16 hour days as long as the work is efficient with the right equipment.
Thankfully I have lots of options.

On the other side, I need a new place to live just to erase the past and start with a clean slate. A peaceful atelier where art intersects with life, even the building should be a work of art, sadly most of the condominiums being built in Philadelphia like Symphony House and 10 Rittenhouse Square are ugly as sin.

I spoke to my friend Winka in NYC who is a damn good architect and is designing a bunch of stuff in Philadelphia, you know Philadelphia buildings that look like Lower Manhattan buildings and came up with the perfect quiet place to live.

My new home will be right here !

Now I just need to find the job to transition to.

[Chicken Fried Gourmet]

Shola, Congratulations. How about starting a modern cooking school with Johnny Mac? Can be a full curriculum or just classes for visiting chefs with a side small restaurant/bar or just a kick ass gourmet food/wine/cheese store with a nice bistro....think about it :)

What a beatiful place to live.

And how about Shola's Pizza? I can think of at least a million people who'd want to be regular customers.
