Happy Monday. Well another Valentine has past and I'm sure that you all a wonderful dinner with your special person at your favorite restaurant. I went to the gym, came home and made dinner for my little one, we had Mach wrapped with smoked salmon, with a garlic sour cream and lime sauce, I Sauteed some skirt steak with my Cajun spice, and sliced it super thinly and my little southern twist was saute black truffle's Pinto beans with crispy Panchetta. I had carrot juice and Nola had Vanilla Soy milk.

Big week for the One bite crew, we are getting all geared up for the Culinary Boot Camp, taking place in my home town Atlanta from July 24 through the 31st. So if you have a child from the ages of 16 to 19 and you feel like they might be headed down the wrong path then get them involved with the camp. just click the foundation tab at the chefgarvin site for more info . . .Remember " Reach one teach one and save a life". I also have a couple of big meetings this week for sponsors for the Boot Camp. Please keep your fingers crossed and the believers pray for us.

A lot of you are emailing and asking about the show, give me a sec, and i will figure out what the new time slot is and let you know, thanks for your always great and wonderful support. 

By the way we just launched a new division of the One Bite company. We are proud to introduce" CBM- Culinary Boutique Management, The premier managers of the new and brightest chefs of the culinary industry. 

New Recipe Idea-- White fish sashimi with arugula and Evoo and hot lemon foam.

Food for thought---Its only the very best line cooks that makes the very best chefs. Their are a great many steps between line cook and chef.  I could very easily give you an example, but I'd rather you learned and that way you might have a greater respect for the term Chef and there for maybe not use it so loosely. See their are so many things other than cooking that makes a chef, if you can't give me at least five of those things , then you are  most likely not a chef. It means much more and it feels much better when you earn it, and most importantly your better respected. If you do truly have respect for those whom have come before you , then have a little grace and respect and don't think and act like you're the same because your best friend calls him self a foodie and tells you you can cook. Take it from a guy who knows. 

Final Thought---Its just as easy to be nice to people as it is to be mean. If we all tried just a little harder  every day and not just when the lord reminds us that it's his planet and that we are all just visitors. then we might just make a difference in he world. So be nice.
