I like the fact that Danny "The Bizness" Baddeley is making sure everyone knows I have the belt on my shoulder. Its more like a wristband. I am in the hunt for my own wrestling name like "The Bizness". I would like to hear your suggestions.

I am back!!!

The specials this week were great. #1 Wood grilled Mahi with Jasmine rice, broccolini, and a Lemon Thyme Buerre Blanc. #2 Carribean Jerk grilled chicken breast with grilled pineapple basmati rice, broccolini, and a Coconut Rum cream sauce. I'm really happy at Kenmure. I am also getting involved with American Culinary Federation. I can earn credits and points that can go to becoming a certified chef. Kemure is paying my dues. I might even get to go to Las Vegas in a couple years for the ACF National convention. Well, I hope you enjoy the specials this week and I will be in touch.

Menu Item of the week!!!

2008-03-03T07:31:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone,

This weeks special were pretty good. #1 Oven-roasted Prime Rib with Au jus and Horseradish Cream. #2 ( my favorite) Rosemary Skewered U-12 Shrimp with Stone ground grits, and Boursin Cheese sauce. The prices vary depending on the product. We have items ranging from $12.95 to $27.95. Both these items were on the higher end.
A couple other things for those who don't know: U-12 means there are 12 shrimp to a pound, so these shrimp are huge. Boursin cheese is a super-soft cheese seasoned with garlic and herbs.
If you have anymore questions please post them. Have a good day.

New Menu Item!!!

2008-02-28T06:46:00.000-08:00

Well I am still enjoying Kenmure and I thought I could tell you about a couple more dishes I made for specials. #1. Iron Skillet 14oz. Ribeye with a sweet ancho sauce, Grautin Potatoes, and Haircot Vert. Garnished with crispy fried leeks.
#2. Vegetarian: Steamed Veggies including carrots, broccoli, and cawliflower. Served on a bed of black lentils with a coconut curry sauce.

We sold out of the ribeye but we only sold a couple of the Veggies. Anyway, hope everyone is doing ok and I'll talk to you later.

First week at new job!!!

2008-02-17T20:10:00.000-08:00

Well my first week was great. I have already influenced the menu and the chef told me that my plate designs are a step up from what they have been doing. He seems really glad to have me in his kitchen. My first dish that I presented was, a 16 oz. Pork chop stuffed with spinach, toasted walnuts, and Gorganzola cheese. I then grilled it and served it with Herb spatzle, asparagus, and a Balsamic vinaeger reduction. I sold 5 the first night. I enjoy showing what I have learned. I am very happy about my job change. I feel that it was a oppurtunity provided by God. I told my chef about camp and he didn't even ask if I could miss, he just ask the dates and wrote it down. Anyway, talk to everyone later.

New Job!

2008-02-11T07:30:00.000-08:00

I just wanted to tell everyone that I'm starting a new job on Wed. My last day at Biltmore Forest Country Club was Sunday the 10th. I'm going to Kenmure Country Club in Hendersonville. It is much closer than Biltmore was. I will be doing the same thing I was doing at biltmore, but also with oppurtunities to move up. I think it will be a easy transition. I'm going to start posting recipes on my blog so everyone can try the things I cook. My first tip I can give to anyone who wants to learn how to cook is, salt and pepper seasons everything!!!

2008-02-02T09:09:00.000-08:00

Hello, I am very excited about starting my new blog. I want to start my telling you a little bit about myself. I am 25 years old and I love God, my family, and anything Ohio (Cinncinatti not included). I have a wonderful wife named Becky. She is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. She is a very strong Christian and that helps me stay on track. The other great thing that has happened to me is our son, Tommy. He is 2 years old and you can tell. He keeps us busy running around and he talks........a lot!! I also want to tell you a little bit about my other family. I'm talking about my family at Palmetto Bible Camp. It is the greatest place on earth. If I could only go on one more vacation for the rest of my life it would be to camp. I look at camp like Heaven's doorstep. Well that will about wrap up my first blog. I look forward to sharing upcoming events in my life with you all. Ben and family.
