energy.

I put positive energy into what I make.

One of the rewarding things about making food is the enjoyment someone else gets from it.

When I know my positive energy is being received, I feel satisfied.

Executive Chef Brent Martin of the Hyatt Hotel Downtown San Diego told us yesterday that cooking is like a drug, once you feel the accomplishment of knowing you have fed a group of people you can't stop. Seeing their reaction, having them read your menu and thank you is something that gets into your veins. How inspiring.

It is quite beautiful to see the passion of a chef.

blue.

the depth of a man's tears--

exceeds the intensity of a deep, calm ocean.
sweeping away the pain from his face.
dangerous yet unknown shower of solitude.

revealing the beauty that is his soul.
