Working in the restaurant industry leads to many a tale: "I applied for a job at the restaurant Jardiniere here in San Francisco as a pastry chef and dessert plater. The restaurant is owned by Traci Des Jardins who is a contestant on The Next Iron Chef. The hiring pastry chef came up to me and said "you're pretty frickin gutsy to apply for a job here when you've never worked in a restaurant kitchen before" Within my first hour of plating desserts the pastry chef came to me a out of nowhere and asked me to make her an angel cake our [sic] of scratch. I had never made an angel cake before (since im not done with school) and I was really nervous but I did it. a day later they called me to offer a job." [Food for Thought]
