Before I leave for The Fat Duck, I wanted to express my thanks to everyone who have helped make this past year possible for me.  I cant help but think that all of you that know me helped make my goal of The Fat Duck come true.  

To all of the Chefs at LCB, thank you for pushing my limits.  Without the strong critiques, and sometimes harsh criticisms, my skills would not be as sharp as they are today.  You all have helped me reach farther than I felt I could and have helped me get to the next level in my career.

To my fellow students.  While I am sure you have hated me at points over the past year, I can’t look back and say that I didn’t deserve it.  Thanks for dealing with me.  See you at graduation.

And to everyone else… my family, my ex, the women at Mr. Cues, thanks for being there and listening.  Its been nice to escape the every day food talk and converse about other things.  

I hope we can all stay in touch.
