Got bigger fish to fry?
As professional chef, I probably receive more questions about
where to go for a good fish fry than I do on any other topic. So
last month, I set out to begin benchmark countless fish fries to
update my list of recommendations – in the quest of finding
out what makes the ultimate fish fry so I may apply the insight
gained to hit it big at the casino with the concept.
I understand that the public judge fish fries by differing sets of
criteria. Convenience, close to home and not too busy; they hate
waiting for a table. Economy, price determines the favorite fish
fry. Quantity, all-you-can-eat continues to be a deciding factor
for others.

This years WRA Convention at the Midwest Airline Center
takes place March 12 through 14. Pro Start is  one competition
for high school students where I will be judging.this year. There
are others such as ACF mystery basket and cold food as well
as baking competitions with the
Baking Association.
Milwaukee was the site for the ACF Regional Conference and
ther were some 350 members attending. Due to the
refurbishments at the Firepit and Bingo Hall I was unable to
attend, however I had dinner at
Bacchus with Mike R. and a
couple of other AAC members on Monday evening.
The food was very good, starting with the seared scallops in
truffled jus over parsnip puree, followed by Beets and arugula
with goat cheese. I had the braised short rib which came with a
potatoe galette and roasted root vegetables and that was tender
and tasty. After a long evening catching up on old times, we
opted out of the desserts and had a simple espresso instead.
In pursuit of new talent and partnering with Culinary schools
around the country, I recently made contact in Chicago with
Kendall College, their new campus is very impressive.
With over 500 enrolled culinary studenta and a food &
beverage program as well as a hospitality program, It seems to
be a great fit for our long term needs. We are currently
considering an Internship program with them later this year.
