Hey Foodies! Check out Waiting on Others - Truly Independent Media

Hi everyone,

Buffalo-Chicken-Moments was born out of frustration working a culinary survival job, as they're called. Most of us have had jobs like this before, something to pay the rent or help bring down debt and student loans. The new webseries Waiting on Others (http://www.waitingonothers.com/) is the closest that I could imagine to a TV version of this blog. The show brought me on as its producer and I am thrilled to join the project.

Check out the Facebook page and the trailer, now showing on a dedicated Waiting on Others YouTube channel. This is a really exciting time for creative enterprise. If you believe in independent media, creative people removing all obstacles to create something unique and interesting, show us some love and view our clips, Like and Share our Facebook page, follow us on Twitter. Be part of something building from the ground up.

Exciting New Project - "Waiting on Others"

Hello dear readers,

I will begin with my most sincere apologies for being so terribly absent for most of the last year. In a new job with a new, strict confidentiality clause and little customer interaction, I have lacked material. But I am very lucky to have met and joined a phenomenal creative team that will launch a hilarious new webseries in 2012 called Waiting on Others. Check out the website.

This show is everything that I ever hoped Buffalo-Chicken-Moments could be, only with better writing and narrative development. As their new producer, I will begin using this forum to promote the series. And I am inviting every food or media blogger out there to view and review each episode as they air.

We are planning a launch party for January 2012 and I expect to extend a limited number of passes to bloggers interested in covering the show. Let's be honest everyone, blogs like this one and readers like you are the wave of the future in entertainment. I am inviting everyone to join us as we show the restaurant industry as it is (with wit) and honor the spirit of making it in New York, the things that make this city so special. Please feel welcome to contact me with questions. This is an exciting project and I'm happy to bring it to my readership first.

Just Blowing Through

Let's see - it's been about 10 months since I last wrote a blog entry (oh, how I've missed you my dearest bloggie). Leaving Cafe Confidential was a solid career and life move, but, back in a kitchen and far from my patrons, I just didn't have any good material to work with.

So, why the post now you may ask? Huricane Irene is absolutely battering the East Coast and, rather than curling up in bed comforting my assuredly scared cat, I am finishing a double shift at 5 AM leading into a tripple shift before I get to drive home on Monday around four in the AM. That's the thing about my current gig - royal treatment means royally painful hours and 24/7 service, even amidst natural disasters.

That's the restaurant industry people. When this is all over, I'll be able to say that Huricane Irene was nothing more than a long weekend. I can barely hear the wind, rain, or destruction tearing apart my beloved city... just another day and night at the office. To everyone from the Bahamas to New England, please be safe and be well.
