so its saturday night... and i just got back to zuma after spending a few hours in the kitchen of HALO with Calving Ku, the exec chef of HALO (amongst other things.)

we are getting ready for the alive not dead one year anniversary party, making about 1200 pieces of snacks for our artists to enjoy... =) so far the menu is:

* tomato, shiso & lime bruschetta * grilled chicken with barley miso * scallops, pancetta & nori * soy-soaked tuna & wasabi tobiko * roasted portobello mushrooms with siracha chili * steak & onion sandwich with mustard sauce *

we had a fun afternoon chopping tomatoes and telling stories abot kitchens we've worked in. its always the same when chefs get together... telling warstories about the best and the worst places we've worked.

it reminded me of a lot of stories, which i hope to get around to telling you... but its 6pm on saturday night and it looks like we're in for a busy one at the restaurant...

can't wait to see you all tomorrow night!

Please post pictures of some of these dishes. Many of them sound like very interesting fusions of Eastern and Western ingredients and techniques. I would love to hear your words on how one truly fuses such different ingredients and such different approaches to food into something that is flavorful, beautifully presented and true to the ingredients, the season, and the occasion. This is where mere food becomes art and a means for a fleeting, yet profound experience, something that can punch through the static of modern life and take us to a place where mind, body, even spirit meet, however briefly.
