Bird Rock, Is Not For The Birds

Smokey grilled pork tenderloin with grilled shrimp chimichurri, broccolini and fresh made and browned gnocchi.

Three beautiful and kind families descended on La Jolla last week. All three had different requests and different situations, but all three had at least one great night.

My work makes me happy because I like taking care of people. I like it when I can help people stay relaxed and in vacation mode. When I’m on vacation, I don’t like things that take me out of vacation mode; traffic, poor customer service and rigamorole to name a few. Having me cook dinner while you spend time with your kids and grand kids is what vacation is about. Use that 3-4 hours before dinner to relax to fullest and take the time to breathe and be present with those closest to you. Instead of the usual… getting gussied up and running out the door to sit in traffic, then wait to be seated, deal with conversations going left and right in a loud space, then waiting for the bill so you can finally leave and drive home. It’s all a lot easier to pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of wine and let me have your kitchen for an evening :-)
