An honor!

About 2 months or so ago I got a letter in the mail from Ontario Canada. It was from a guy named Ryan Odette. Ryan is the Chef/Owner of Mamo Bistro (mamobistro.com) in Ontario. He found me via a website called eGullet.com where I have posted a good bit on BBQ (instructions, advice, etc.). eGullet.com is THE website that anyone involved in the restaurant/food industry visits on a daily basis, from a celebrity like Wolfgang Puck to a nobody like Pat Martin. Ryan wrote me to inquire about coming down for a week to work for free to learn the art of authentic BBQ. Hey, paid help is hard enough to find so free help, even for just a week, is a blessing. I'm looking forward to him getting here, there are some things I plan on picking his brain about too, so it should work well for both of us. Ryan and I have spoken about 2 or 3 times. I have really no earthly idea about his tolerance for the offensive nature of our kitchen. I'm hoping he'll fit right in our kitchen of two rednecks, a black guy, a "dread-neck" and two mexicans doing nothing but spewing vulgarity, anger and insults at each other during the "rush".......as Bo says, its a pirate ship in there. Thursday I'll be gone though, we have a scheduled C-section thursday morning for our new little girl Daisy Elizabeth. Lord willing everything will go well (keep us in your prayers).
