Frontera Grill Internship

So the semester is coming to an end and now it's time to prepare for my internship at Frontera Grill. I met with Jean Marie Brownson last week and we worked out all the final details. I'll be working on Monday's upstairs in the test kitchen and working on projects then working Tuesday-Saturday at the restaurant. Yes I'm working 6 days a week! Yes I'll have no life but I'm really excited, I have a feeling I'll get a lot of valuable experience out of my time there. I was given all of Rick Bayless' cook books and DVDs and have already starting cooking out of them (so far they have all rocked). I was even able to talk to people who had their internship with Frontera and now work there. Everyone there seems amazing and I have a feeling this isn't going to be a "sit in the corner and chop onions" kind of internship. I'm already going in on the 3rd and helping with a tasting then the next week going and grilling for a trade show, so I have a feeling I'll have a bunch of interesting stories to tell once I start. So check back every once and a while because I swear I'll try to keep everyone updated on my adventures at Frontera Grill.  I hope everyone comes and visits me! =)

2 weeks off...better live it up while I can!!
