What is hair replacement surgery?
Published On: Apr 24 2014 02:16:44 PM CDT
Updated On: May 06 2014 11:35:17 AM CDT
Updated On: May 06 2014 11:35:17 AM CDT
For people who are losing their hair, hair replacement surgery is an option.
This procedure involves removing small pieces of scalp from a donor site and putting it in the area that's balding, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
According to the ASPS, this procedure has been done for about 30 years.
The ASPS adds that hair loss is mainly caused by aging, family history of baldness and a change in hormones.

27 magic number for Heat streak
Published On: Mar 28 2013 02:58:33 PM EDT
The number 27 has a close connection with the Heat's winning streak.
Miami's record run last 27 games.
During that streak, LeBron James averaged exactly 27 points per game.
The biggest comeback during the streak, happened when the Heat were down 27 at Cleveland.
Miami's streak came to an end on March 27.
To make the number 27 even more significant to Miami, if the Heat win their next 27 games, they will once again be NBA Champs.
Miami has 11 games left in the regular season.
The Heat would then need 16 more playoff wins to complete a back-to-back championship.

5-on-5: Can C's win at home?
June, 1, 2012
By Chris Forsberg | ESPNBoston.com
Before the Boston Celtics host the Miami Heat in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals on Friday night at TD Garden, we get together with some colleagues for a game of 5-on-5 to preview the matchup. A look at Question 5, our predictions for Game 3:
Fact or Fiction: The C's will take Game 3.
Chris Forsberg: Fact. The notion that Boston will struggle to get past a heartbreaking Game 2 loss is laughable. The Celtics have no other choice. They are fighting for their season and being back at TD Garden should help them steal Game 3. Miami still wins this series (maybe as quick as five games), but Boston makes things interesting for the weekend.
Tom Haberstroh: Fact. And that's all they'll get in this series, I'm afraid. The Celtics are 6-1 at home and 2-6 on the road thus far in the playoffs so I expect them to steal a game at TD Garden on some hot shooting alone. Unless Rondo's a superhero who doesn't suffer from fatigue, the C's can't expect an encore from him in Game 3. It's Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett's turn to lead the way.
Justin Verrier: Fact. It's hard to imagine the Celtics, in their current nicked-up state, playing any better than they did in Game 2. But I'm still waiting for Boston to muster some semblance of the defensive force they were with Avery Bradley zipping around and pestering ball-handlers. Their first shot at the Heat at home, where they played much better in the regular season, may effectively be the C's last chance to do it.
Michael Wallace: Fiction. This is more of a probability answer for me. If you get 44 points from Rondo, decent production from Pierce, a relentless effort from Garnett and a clutch 3-pointer late in the game from Allen and still don't come away with a victory, what else can you really do? If Boston really wants to make this a series, we'll find out tonight. But Miami's got the Celtics' number.
Brian Windhorst: Fact. They're at home, they're still confident, they'll get some calls they didn't get in Miami.

INDIANAPOLIS – A key Senate panel tried to address fiscal concerns of a criminal sentencing overhaul Thursday.
The Appropriations Committee created a mechanism that would allow up to $11 million to be funneled back through grants to local community corrections or probation services.
But the money is not guaranteed. It materializes only if the Indiana Department of Correction reaps expected savings from a reduced prison population.
The legislature could provide more solid funding next year when crafting a new two-year state budget.
The language is not a direct appropriation, said Sen. Luke Kenley, R-Noblesville. That's probably the best we can do this year.
The legislation passed committee 9-2 and heads to the full Senate.
Last year, the legislature passed House Bill 1006, which covered virtually every aspect of the criminal justice system – including drug sentences, prison credit time and local community corrections programs.
The goals of the massive measure are to make punishment more proportional to crimes, force the most serious offenders to serve longer sentences and divert drug addicts and low-level offenders from state prisons to less expensive local treatment and supervision programs to reduce recidivism.
The bill increased the number of felony levels from four to six and spelled out new credit-time rules for early release. It also required more felons to serve 75 percent of their sentences, as opposed to the current 50 percent.
At the same time, the bill was designed to give local judges more discretion over when to suspend prison sentences for some crimes, which means some offenders would skip prison and stay in local community corrections programs.
That bill isn't effective until July 1 of this year. That left lawmakers more time over the summer to grapple with funding questions.
And now they are back with House Bill 1006 Part 2.
It has been a constant balancing act of trying to increase sentences for serious crimes while putting fewer low-level offenders in prison.
The biggest problem has been conflicting projections on how the measure will affect the prison population for the Indiana Department of Correction.
In addition to the tentative funding mechanism, Kenley's amendment to the legislation decreased maximum sentences for four of the felony classifications. For instance, a Level I felony would have a maximum of 40 years in prison instead of 50 years.
The fiscal effect is still unclear, something Sen. Brent Steele, R-Bedford, said is to be expected.
Until it actually hits the ground we won't know how judges and prosecutors use it and how it performs, he said. Keep your eye on it as it plays out in the future. I hope it does what we think it will do.

Dry land is not just our destination, it is our destiny!Starring Kevin Costner and directed by Kevin Reynolds, jointly released with a tie-in novel and video game. It used a then record-breaking budget of $175 million, but was a massive flop in the U.S., only grossing $88 million at the box office. However, it did quite well at the box office elsewhere, where it managed to make $176 million, saving it from becoming a financial failure, or not; it's complicated.Set In a World where the polar ice-caps have melted (due to a havoc caused by a geomagnetic reversal) the world is covered by water. What's left of humanity is surviving on ramshackle crafts tied together to make Atolls (villages). The Mariner (Costner) enters one of these Atolls to trade, but is discovered to be a mutant and sentenced to death. After a group of pirates known as the Smokers attack the Atoll, a woman named Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and her adopted daughter Enola (Tina Majorino) bribe the Mariner to take them to Dryland, the legendary last remaining island. Conveniently, Enola's back has been tattooed with a map indicating the way to Dryland. However, with The Smokers hot on their tail, their journey encounters more than a few bumps along the way.

Extremely cold on Mt. Wellington, but clear. Also visited a 20 acre garden owned by a couple that was very well kept up and entertaining. Due to rough weather we were unable to go to Pt Arthur, but the Carnival folks arranged to have buses take us so we did not miss out on the opportunity to see Port Arthur.

The chefs at Crepe N Grill serve both sweet and savory crepes, thin pancakes crowned with fresh ingredients such as honey-cinnamon apples or braised pork. Freshly blended fruit smoothies, lattes, and cappuccinos from the espresso bar pair up with crisp salads, soups, and paninis.
Owner and culinary mastermind of French Quarter Bistro, Mark Van Horn's prerequisites for a good meal are simple: authenticity, home cooking, and a liberal dash of soul. This dedication to comfort cooking has earned the French Quarter Bistro a host of dedicated regulars as well as the Philly Hot List's award for Best Soul Food in 2009, 2010, and 2011. In the bustling kitchen, chefs whip up creole and Cajun eats using unique ingredients such as house roasted peppers, alligator sausage, and fried pickles. Along with their flavorful dishes, French Quarter Bistro also serves up a variety of entertainment throughout the week, including open mic nights with local singers and poets tired of the wrestling portion of poetry slams.
We are a casual dining restaurant serving an upscale twist on comfort food. We range from pizza and lasagna to homemade mushroom ravioli in a shitake cream sauce, to pan-seared diver scallops in a brandy cream sauce: and everything in-between. For Lunch we have all the same, plus an expanded burger and steak menu.
Conceived as part of sculptor Seward Johnson's impressionistic vision, Rat's Restaurant transports degusting diners into Claude Monet's beloved town of Giverny with cosmopolitan home cooking served overlooking a delicate lily pond. Launch your exploration into head chef Shane Cash's exceptional dinner menu with the petit escargot, featuring lemon verbena, escargot butter, and parsley tortellini ($15). Sophisticated palates can decorate themselves with a delectable selection of entrees, including Scottish halibut, a fresh pan-roasted catch accompanied by cauliflower puree and almond-caper meuniere sauce ($30). Before stepping into the attached Grounds For Sculpture galleries and discovering the secrets of scratch-n-see artwork, enjoy sips from a menu of hand-crafted cocktails and an eclectic wine list.

Sample Menu
When to Go: If it's dinner you're after, then any day Tuesday through Saturday will do. Fans of brunch, however, should mark their calendars for the last Sunday of every month from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. That's the only time that the restaurant serves up its mega-popular à la carte brunch menu, which features favorites such as freshly squeezed juices and housemade french pastries.

Inside Tips
While You're in the Neighborhood
Before: Purge all your pent-up tension and stress with a relaxing Swedish massage at Flic Spa (2 South Avenue W.).
After: If, by some chance, you saved room for dessert, treat yourself to a scoop of premium handmade ice cream at Vanilla Bean Creamery (22 North Avenue W.).
Crêpe Town's 25 crepes fall into four categories: breakfast, vegetarian and low-calorie, classics, and crepes of the world. Specimens from this last group represent the culinary flair of Mexico (chicken and taco sauce), Sweden (salmon and cheese), and Hawaii (ham and pineapple). The eatery serves scrambled egg crepes and other breakfast offerings all day, and it serves dessert crepes such as chocolate ice cream and marshmallow even if the phase of the moon indicates that man should hibernate. Each crepe is made to order and available in white and whole-wheat varieties.

The latest in the developing daytime-soap-esque drama concerning Carnegie Deli: Owner Marian Levine is suing her husband Sandy, his longtime girlfriend (a former Carnegie hostess), and his daughter for $10 million the amount she says they've stolen from her personal and corporate accounts over the past 14 years. She claims that Sandy forged her signature on checks and kept a hush fund to keep employees quiet. The papers also describe an elaborate laundering setup involving bank accounts, safe-deposit boxes, and money funneled into property owned by the girlfriend's family's deli in Bangkok, which salt in the wounds Levine accuses of lifting her original Carnegie recipes.

SOUTHLAKE, Texas (AP) -The Fort Worth suburb of Southlake has become the latest to ban drivers from using hand-held cellphones while driving through active school zones.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports the City Council voted unanimously for the ban yesterday.
Motorists driving through Southlake school zones will still be allowed to use cellphones with hands-free devices.
City spokeswoman Pilar Schank says the ban will be enforced as soon as signs are posted in school zones notifying drivers about the ordinance.
Council members indicated that they would consider banning hand-held-cellphone use throughout the city if the Legislature doesn't pass some sort of ban this session.
Councilwoman Laura Hill, who originally proposed the ordinance, said she will go to Austin to testify in support of a statewide ban.
Similar bans are in Highland Park, Dallas, Hurst, Watauga, Irving and Flower Mound.

A little about me...
I have been a professional artist for years now and plan to continue it as long as galleries and desire allow me to. I maintain a studio, do a fair amount of travel to events and also love being home. I have one dog and she keeps me company in my studio in return for long walks at the end of most days. I have a lot of freedom in my life and am looking for new adventures or replays of old ones.
About the one I'm looking for...
I would love to find a kind, gentle man. I am a capable, competent woman but do not want to be the main force in a relationship. My ideal would be someone to walk side by side with. I am flexible and open to new ideas but do not appreciate rigidness. I like people with a sense of themselves and a willingness to allow that in others.
I'd just like to add...
I am very accepting of others and I am hoping for honesty from the start. I am not afraid to answer questions and I am not in need of financial support. Oh, and I am spiritual but not religious. I am also accepting if someone is not similar to me in their beliefs.

636cc, 112bhp, 162mph, Insurance group 15
The ZX-6R of 2003 marked a dramatic return to form for Kawasaki. At its launch this machine was the hardest, most technologically advanced 600 of all time, boasting radial brakes, upside-down forks and fully digital clocks alongside fuel-injection, a lap timer and all wrapped up in a tiny, tight chassis and plastics. Gorgeous.
636cc, 114bhp, 168mph, Insurance group 15
The hardest 600 of modern times just got a little softer – and a little better, too. The Kawasaki ZX-6R's track-intent is still present and correct, but thankfully the suspension is more responsive and less harsh. Its new slippery shape means that 170mph is just a following wind away. Also new for 2005 is a slipper clutch and petal discs.

Water pours out of all 11 spillways at Chickamauga dam in this file photo.Photo by Dan Henry /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Most of us don't often think about the Chickamauga Dam on the Tennessee River, except when we're boating, swimming or fishing or when we drive across the bridge spanning the dam.
Of course, we enjoy the benefits of the Tennessee Valley Authority-generated electricity the dam helps provide.
The Chickamauga Dam lock was built in the 1940s. The aging lock is crumbling and very much needs to be replaced. The existing 360-foot by 60-foot lock is too small for today's large barges. It also has structural concrete problems.
A new and expanded Chicka-mauga Lock is estimated to cost $693 million, and work could be finished by 2018, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
So far, $186 million has been spent on a bigger replacement lock.
But work on the new lock is on hold because of a lack of money, and President Barack Obama's proposed budget for the 2013 fiscal year does not include any funds to maintain the existing lock.
The Corps estimates it will take at least another $507 million to finish the new lock at the dam.
But funding for repairs and new locks is inadequate because available funds are being absorbed by costly dam and lock repairs to the Olmsted Locks on the Ohio River.
Nevertheless, it's important to this region that we keep the lock open. If it closes, 318 miles of river upstream of Chattanooga would be cut off from river traffic.
Living proof that without socialism, the ignorant natives would still be using coal oil. Everyone say thanks to FDR.

When Gantt Huberman Architects was sold to a New York state-based company last year, principals on both sides assured clients that the brand of the legendary Charlotte firm wouldn't change.
With a reputation for specializing in education and civic projects, it's a brand that built many of Charlotte's landmarks: ImaginOn, the UNC Charlotte Center City building, the Transamerica Square building and Charlotte Transportation Center, among others.
The firm, founded in 1971 by former Charlotte Mayor Harvey Gantt and business partner Jeff Huberman, who died earlier this year, intentionally set out to be part of the growth and development of the city's uptown area and beyond.
Don't look for that to change now that the firm is a division of Bergmann Associates, Gantt told clients and well-wishers during an open house on Thursday at the firm's North Tryon Street office.
In fact, Gantt said, merging with the 375-person Bergmann Associates, with 13 offices in seven states in the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest and Florida, gives the 42-year-old Charlotte firm reach into new areas. This includes taking on retail and manufacturing projects -- two of Bergmann's specialties. In turn, Bergmann was drawn to the Charlotte firm's background in K-12 and higher education projects.
"Rather than saying all good things come to an end, we have just re-energized ourselves," Gantt told reception attendees before introducing Tom Mitchell, president and CEO of Bergmann Associates.
"Gantt Huberman Architects and Bergmann have formed this association, this partnership, and we think we can now bring an even greater and higher level of architectural service to this region."
Mitchell, 61 and Gantt, 70, talked to the Observer about how the two firms connected, and the types of projects they foresee working on in Charlotte. Comments have been edited for clarity and brevity.
Will this firm feel the same in Charlotte, or are you branching out into areas that Gantt Huberman Architects has not traditionally been in?
Gantt: I think one of the things that attracted us was that there were opportunities with Bergmann Associates that GHA probably never would have engaged in. They do a lot of work in retail (including Walmart stores and Wegmans Food Markets.) They lot of work in research and manufacturing. These are areas that we have never been in. We think the opportunities in research, retail, will make us even more attractive.
We've already seen a benefit of that. Over these last 10 months that we've been a firm, I'm talking to and going with Tom and others in the firm to deal with new clients who have been in this community for years. They see me showing up on their doorstep: Harv, what are u doing? You're an institutional education guy. Here you're talking to a research company doing manufacturing or process-oriented facilities. I say yeah, but I've got the team now.
Mitchell: What we don't want to do is distract the firm, the employees from what they do that's special in terms of the institution of higher education, the K-through-12 schools. We want to make sure that the service to the current clients and past clients is kept intact, and try to complement it, as Harvey said.
How did this connection come to be?
Mitchell: About three years ago, we had a strategy to locate to the North Carolina area. We felt that it was a growth area. And we coupled that with the desire to increase our presence in the higher education market. We retained a (search) firm. The name Gantt Huberman came up, in Charlotte, which was a great market. And we just made a call to Harvey one day. We understood that even though Jeff and Harvey weren't immediately thinking of selling, they were getting to that point in their career when they needed to do so. It took maybe a year and a half to get comfortable enough to decide to move ahead with an acquisition.
To Gantt: Can you talk about this firm's impact on Charlotte? What has guided you these 42 years, and how will that continue?
Gantt: When I came to town I worked at Odell Associates, which at that time was the No. 1 premier firm in Charlotte., and met Jeff, he was also working there. We both worked in the design department. I got the chance to work on really amazing projects, some big projects for the city of Charlotte. When Jeff and I decided to form the firm in 1971, we said we wanted to have an impact on Charlotte. We wanted to build nice schools, we wanted to build institution buildings, we wanted to build buildings for the city. I had the opporutnity to do that.We just always felt if the city was kind to us in projects we got over the years, we ought to ask our folks to give back to the city. We paid our employees for four hours a month so every person in the firm could get engaged in some community project they wanted to. So I'd like to think we were a community-oriented firm.
What does the Charlotte economy look like for architects, and for this firm in particular? Are you still seeing the effects of the recession?
Gantt: We had about two rough years, 2009 and 10. A lot of our clients, particularly those who were building school buildings weren't doing much in that arena for a while. But we think that's loosening up. We're getting much more inquiries, opportunities to look at projects.
Mitchell: Coming to Charlotte and North Carolina, a state of growth, a state of a great education system, a great tradition of welcoming manufacturers and industry to the state, an attractive workforce and such, it's got to be a sure thing for us to be successful here over time. Maybe the economy hasn't fully recovered, but we do think this is probably one of the hotter markets that we're in. Once it does recover, and they understand Gantt Huberman and the Bergmann complement to that, we're going to have significant success.

The Perth Mint's Lunar Silver Series 1 began in 1999 with Year of the Rabbit silver coin and ended in 2012 with the Year of the Tiger. The Perth Mint Lunar Series is based on the Chinese Lunar Calendar, and has become one of the best known precious metal bullion series today. As the Perth Mint states "Don't miss the opportunity to invest in pure silver, and collect a coin series steeped in tradition and symbolism."
The mintage for many years of the Silver Lunar Series 1 was low making them highly desirable and collectible.
1999-Rabbit, 2000-Dragon, 2001-Snake, 2002-Horse, 2003-Goat, 2004-Monkey, 2005-Rooster, 2006-Dog, 2007-Pig, 2008-Mouse, 2009-Ox, 2010-Tiger
It is worth noting that the Perth Mint Lunar Series 2 overlapped with Series 1 in 2008, 2009, and 2010. The design of the Series 1 coins differed from the Series 2 coins despite the fact that they were of the same animal.

Recently it was the carrot that seemed to be caught in the grips of an identity crisis: first at René Redzepis Copenhagen restaurant Noma, where it was aged like so much USDA prime (actually, left in the ground until it looked all leathery and almost fossilized), then dug up like an old corpse and braised for two hours in goats butter. And later at Eleven Madison Park, where a fitter and more youthful-looking specimen was proudly presented tableside, run through a meat grinder, and deemed a reasonable facsimile of steak tartare.
Now its cauliflower in the role of Vegetable Most Likely to Be Mistaken for a Piece of Meat. Increasingly, the crucifer is being butchered into so-called steaks, a cross-section cut that enables the florets to cohere with the stem and offers a wide surface area for charring. Thats how youll encounter it at Bar Corvo in Prospect Heights, where the whole head is blanched, sliced, griddled on the plancha, then drizzled with garlic-anchovy sauce ($9). At Family Recipe on the Lower East Side, chef-owner Akiko Thurnauer gives her version an Asian spin, seasoning the steaks with the Japanese spice blend shichimi togarashi and saucing them with edamame purée ($19). And uptown at the East Side branch of Salumeria Rosi, Cesare Casella serves something he calls a bistecca cavolfiore ($29), a slab of olive-oil-confited cauliflower thats chilled overnight, grilled to order, and garnished with black rice and almond sauce. The au courant cut even makes a sandwich cameo at Animals in the East Village, where chef-partner Rob Ceraso dresses a curried-cauliflower steak with a hot flower sauce of florets puréed with Sriracha. But perhaps no local chef has embraced the role of vegetable butcher as fervently as Blue Hills Dan Barber, who has carved steaks not only from cauliflower but also beets, carrots, and parsnips. (Squash didnt work, he says.) In Westchester, at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, theyre served from a roving steak cart equipped with garnishes like bone marrow, creamed spinach, and Bordelaise sauce. And back in Greenwich Village, at Blue Hill proper, the $34 cauliflower steak, which returns to the menu this spring, is first milk-pickled, cooked sous vide, then seared. The whole idea, says Barber, was thinking about vegetables as being as rich and meaty as a steak. Lately, though, he feels conflicted about the vegetable-as-protein sleight of hand. I find more and more Im not trying to get the thing to taste like meat, he says. Ive evolved.

Isn't there anything good to say about life as a chef?
- onefineleo May 13, 2007 09:02 AM
All of the negative posts about life in the culinary world have been very distressing to read. My son is off to culinary school in the fall (J & W), and is quite passionate about the road ahead of him. He's had some great experience this past year working with some of Boston's top chefs and has loved every minute ( and yes, the days were very long). So, I ask.....any good experiences out there? Any happy chefs?
Well, according to today's L.A.Times, Spago's Lee Hefter seems to be enjoying the ride...
i've been in the business a long time. front of the house. i feel profoundly lucky that i get paid to pursue my passion. most people i know tolerate or even hate their jobs. i love mine.
yes, it's long hours and i will never become a millionaire. and i've worked for some (boston) chefs who should be committed. that being said, i can't imagine doing anything else.
if your son has found his calling, best of luck to him!
re: hotoynoodle
I often feel left out of such discussions, as I am a relatively contented chef with a kitchen crew that makes me proud and happy every day. There is rarely any yelling, instead respect and a sense of fun. Bad language, sure (but that's my fault). That said, I'm surely no celebrity, and never will be. Does that come with the territory? Or with the big money? Then you can have them.
Best of luck to your son. There are all kinds of kitchens out there ; )
re: hotoynoodle
hotoynoodle, I feel exactly the same way. Restaurant work just gets into your blood. I tried to leave that world behind for a bit a few years back and took a desk job,(to appease my parents, I think), and I left that job feeling like my entire soul had been sucked out of me. When I returned, I think I had grown just enough to get out of jaded server mode into mature, happy, glad to be of help server mode. Since then, I have also been among the very few to say that I love my job, and I look forward to going in to work every day. And you're right; no very many people can say that. And the same thing goes with chefs. Restaurants are fascinating places to work. Those of us that love it, are miserable in other settings.
What, you think long hours, low pay, crazy people, and repetetive stress injuries are 'negative'? If your son truly has the passion, those negatives will just be minor annoyances in a profession that otherwise brings him great satisfaction.
I think cooking really is a calling, and those of us who hear the call answer it becausewe have to. There is no other place for us, and we accept that the kitchen is where we need to be. The warnings you read are to try to give people with a fantasy of a chef's life a reality check. Thinking it looks like fun is not enough. You do need to have passion, drive, love, skill, the gift of some actual talent. I had an extern recently who went to pastry school because, well, he was going to do computer science but there was too much homework...I doubt he'll get very far. The financial horror stories are true, too. Spending $80k because you really like to watch Food Network isn't going to pay off. I think those who go to culinary school and are most sucessful are the ones who go because they already know enough to really want to learn more, really love food, and are curious and driven to learn as much as they can. It sounds like your son might do well.
Working in a kitchen is hard, often crazy work.
That said -- I loved it. Even my worst day in a kitchen was better then my best days at any other job. I loved the pace and energy of the work, and how it demanded that you be able to think fast and move fast and make the right decisions at the right moment.
And I loved the autonomy -- as long as the right plate with the right food is going out at the right time, how get there is totally up to you (caveat on this - I never worked in really high end places. my bosses were usually thrilled if more then half of the kitchen staff showed up sober) .
Another I loved was the scope for creativity and just plain fun you had in the down times -- I remember one time working at the Chinese restaurant, and cadging a cup grand marnier from the bar one day when we were totally dead, and teaching the dishwashers to make crepe suzettes. Fun.
re: yayadave
I will not bore you with the details, but I operate a successful catering operation in the Los Angeles area....I was our first cook...I will not call myself a chef. I am self taught and loved every day I worked in our kitchens. We have grown our business dramatically over the last 20 years...I do not work in the kitchen any longer(We have hired chefs that are more capable of taking the company to new heights. I miss every day that I am no longer producing in a food production capacity. I went home dead tired every day...but I loved it!!
I wish your son the best of luck...it is a great calling
re: yayadave
lol, um, no. trust me, i know i *work* for a living. big difference between my 16 hour days and my evening on the deck with a bottle of sancerre!
The ONLY thing I didn't like about my years in the kitchen were the hours, and it wasn't that they were long, but that they ended at midnight or later. The pay wasn't great, but it was enough, and I loved the slow nights when we could get creative and experiment with stuff to see if we could invent a new 'special'...or just whip up a batch of onion rings for the crew. I knew, tho, that if I wanted to have a social life outside the restaurant, I would have to find other employment...so I did.
i'm happy. . . maybe really broke/in debt, overworked, stressed, a little crazy from being shut up in a kitchen away from people, the fact that i haven't had health insurance for 15 years is becoming problematic as i get older. . . but i'm happy. i get to work with beautiful produce all day long.
Yes, the culanary field is a tough one, but construction is also. And think of the danger of some other carriers. Its really about what you love to do. Low pay and long hours is somthing that all young cooks go throu. The path he couses is up to him. Give him support and and he will do just fine.
As for Lee at spago, he really isnt one to look up to. he sets the tone for the nose in the air kichen he runs, his foods bland and played out.
I didn't read the other thread. I think it depends on where you end up. I don't like to cook but have been doing a lot (according to my standards) in the past month. It's very physical, standing up all day, chopping, bending to get food out the fridge, etc. My BIL was a cook at a high class restaurant and worked weird hours. He now has another cooking job that he enjoys with normal hours and in an environment where the creative things he does is appreciated and looked at in awe, not responded to by, "Is that it? What else can you come up with?", being yelled at (like on Hell's Kitchen - OK, maybe not that bad, but any yelling is unprofessional), or working long days but off the clock because he's "expected to."
I used to be in the field, but not any more. The hours and low pay (and chauvinism) got to me. That said I do love food and cooking both for myself and for friends. Not to mention, cooking well, creatively, quickly and efficiently is a skill that is very handy to have in general. And I am still tickled to have a bunch of friends over and they are amazed that I cooked for so many people (like 10). I just want to laugh, after cooking for hundreds at work, I could fix dinner for ten in my sleep.
As others have said, if it's your passion, all those aspects that others consider serious downsides, you'll barely notice.
the important thing to consider is that Yes! those of us who have chosen this life LOVE it, and wouldn't be nearly so happy doing anything else.
It's extremely important for the young folks who see the glam of the tv chef to realize that's NOT the real life of a chef. Kitchen work is hot, the hours are long, and the work is hard and not at all glamorous. Before anyone signs up for culinary school and the hefty loans most entail, she or he should work at least 6 months in a professional kitchen. Notice I didnt say "cooking" in a professional kitchen, because most likely they will be a dish dog. If lucky, maybe peel a few potatoes. But they get to see what the life is really like, and whether it is for them.
Cooking a dinner now and then for family and friends bears no resemblance to cooking in a professional kitchen!
If your son has loved working in a professional kitchen, perhaps he is cut out for the life of a restaurant cook. Remember, most cooks never rise above the line.
The main premise behind the OP is that everyone who is in the culinary field is a chef who works in a restaurant, which skews the concept that all culinary work is back breaking, poorly paid and done during horrid, long hours.
I am a culinary graduate who runs a personal chef service that teaches people cooking skills and numerous other things to enhance the experience in the kitchen. I teach personal classes in people's homes, and offer services for wine dinners, tastings and wine and food pairing. In the true sense of the word, I am not a 'chef'; I have the culinary background, professional training and skills. I am also a freelance food writer. I am not rich, but I am not poor either and every day I get to show people how to enhance their lives by learning to cook better, healthier and smarter for themselves. I have clients who have lost numerous pounds, lowered their blood pressure and cholesterol and made sweeping health changes all because I gave them the skills to make the change. The rewards are too expansive to even begin to cover and I absolutely love what I do.
Not all people who go through culinary school will be chefs, nor even work in a professional kitchen. Of the 14 people who graduated with me, only 2 aspired to run their own kitchens some day, and the class behind us a semester had only 1 out of 19 who wanted to be a chef. The rest of them had a whole range of ideas for where they would put their training, and no one had any grandiose fantasies that it would be easy, prosperous or make us wealthy. The only difference in our training was that we were at a technical college for our program and my total cost for the entire 18-month program, including my knives, uniforms and books cost me less than $7,000 which I paid out of my own pocket as did all of my classmates. Our program was extensive and very rigorous, and our instructors were top notch.
There is a mindset that the only thing you can do with a culinary degree is work in a restaurant for little pay, long hours and tedious work, but the truth is that there are multitudes of options available for a culinary graduate who is willing to think outside the box. I have built my business from the ground up and it isn't always easy but I would never trade what I do for anything else.
re: cooknKate
Great post - and it sounds like you've created a wonderful life for yourself. I think people are WAY too quick to turn their noses up at technical schools or community college programs. These schools often offer terrific programs and value for your money and are clearly one of the answers to the outrageous amounts of money charged at most "Culinary Institutes".
re: flourgirl
Very true. They provide practical hands on skills and a way to test out whether you really want to spend your life (or the next ten or twenty years anyway) at this or that vocation.
re: cooknKate
That sounds great! It sounds like you are really doing what you love, and approaching it with creativity. Like you said, it probably won't make you rich, but it puts food on the table, you are doing something you enjoy and you have the satisfaction of building your own business and seeing it succeed. Do you mind if I ask what part of the country you are in?
To the OP, some of the food related but non-restaurant jobs a culinary school grad might do: catering chef, hotel banquet chef, hotel food & beverage management, nutritionist/dietician, menu consultant, restaurant reviewing, food writing, personal chef, farmers market management, product development, testing kitchen, industrial kitchen, teaching cooking in HS, technical college, or private groups and individuals. And that's just one person brainstorming.
re: cooknKate
Thanks for sharing. The person I spoke about went to a community college... looks like it turned out great for him. There are many choices for schools and certainly many choices for careers too.
Add me to the list of very happy culinary professionals! The great thing about this field is that there are hundreds of jobs that you are able to experience with a culinary degree, so much more than cooking/running a kitchen should you choose. Alton Brown went to culinary school to gain a better background so he could produce some type of food show or another. I spent 16, regret free, years in the thick of commercial kitchens because it was what I loved doing. I now am the Executive Chef for a large university and I don't have to work 70-90 hour weeks any more, yet I am still totally immersed in all things food. This I love also. The opportunities are endless, the adventures always thrilling and the bond created through food is like no other I have experienced.
Like all things in life there are trade offs. I too went to a CC and received my AS in Culinary Arts. I worked in the industry for four years and left to pursue my BS and MS in Food Science. So I am a hybrid as most Food Scientist do not know the fundamentals to cooking and most Research Chefs don't have the attention span to sit through calculus, physics, several organic chems, and bio-chems.
By putting in my time in restaurants, I can honestly look at my current boss and say he can't shake me. I also learned a LOT about negotiation from working in restaurants. You want someone to do something they don't like, what's in it for them. Plus nothing is below me. As a lead R&D technologist, they need me to pack a cooler to send samples? Cater a meal 25 people using our products to showcase our portfolio then run dish tank? 21 hour plant run? No sweat.
But the trade off, I went to a CC, even with two degrees from a Big Ten School, people like seeing CIA, LCB, or J&W that on a resume. Add another $30K to the debt I still have. Even individuals who take a short 9 month course at the 'name culinary programs' and Food Business degree (no science) has more prestige than all the extra effort I put out. Will they beat me out of a job, possible. Do I need the MS I earned for my current position? Nope. Did it give me an edge over other applicants, maybe. A general Research Chef will usually make less than a Food Technologist, but they will have more prestige. The average chef will make less than a RC, but a star chef will make more than any Food Technologists. Honestly it makes your head spin.
Let him try out the restaurant business. If he loves it, let him be. If he starts to burn out suggest some other alternatives: food stylists, research chef, food technician, food technologist, foods scientist, caterer, business owner, free lancer, or educator.
Well since this thread is nearly 7 years old there isn't much to be said to actually help the OP at this time.
My daughter is actually a freshman at J&W, hospitality not culinary program. I would love to hear from onefineleo and see now a few years into his career how his son feels about things.
I've been cooking professionally for over 20 years. I've some great experiences(the people you meet and befriend, being surrounded by great food and drink) and some really bad experiences(asshole chefs and crappy wages) but you could say that about every profession I guess.
Cooking for a living can't just be about the money/fame/ glory like the FN makes it out to be. You gotta have balls the size of watermelons to put up with the shit that will be flung at you on a daily basis. There are much easier ways to make a living, but not many that are as satisfying or rewarding.
oops..I just noticed that this thread was 7 years old.. oh well :D
re: petek
It was still interesting to read your input. Thanks!

Delightful! A great way to meet people and learn something. I always do it also.
Loved it!
I have to confess that my wife and I "semitesee" whenever we have the opportunity to travel. Thanks so much for sharing the experience and your wonderful artwork.
Same here. I have photos of pictures taken in Moracco and recently Cozemel. Glad to hear that I am not the only crazy Jewish tourist.
I've been doing this for decades and wrote two books for those similarly inclined: The Complete Jewish Guide to France and the Complete Jewish Guide to Britain and Ireland (St.Martin's Press).
I guess it's the rare Jewish traveler who doesn't do this (alas for the self-deleting Jew). A very well-told and -pictured tale (I especially like the playfulness). Thank you!
PS: The last panel made me cry. Thanks again.
Let's see — there was the beautiful shul my family went to in Barbados, then the one in Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, the one in London — you get the picture. Great strip! Thanks.
Made me remember how my mother, who never went to services, would go to a synagogue while on vacation. She was disappointed that other Jews on a trip to Hong Kong didn't want to got to High Holidays services. Their answer to her was that if they wanted to go to synagogue, they would have stayed at home. (She also had a great time at Friday Night services in Salt Lake City!)
And don't forget the Jewish cemeteries, remnants of disappeared communities: Penang (Malaysia) and Nagasaki were both emotional places.
I wish I had known about Toni Kamins' book, "The Complete Jewish Guide to Britain and Ireland," when I traveled to Ireland, the last two times. I love Ireland, and have many (non-Jewish) friends there, but only one was able to find me a synagogue in Dublin, when my trip coincided with Rosh Hashona. Interestingly enough, she came up with the same synagogue I found, a lovely Orthodox shul in Terenure. I am not Orthodox, but visiting the shul, and sitting upstairs with the women, brought back the memories of the many times I went to shul in CT, with my grandparents, and sat upstairs with my grandmother, while my grandfather sat downstairs with the men. I confess I am also a "semiteseer," as are most of my traveling Jewish friends. But next time, I will have Toni Kamens' books, and save my feet some tsuris. Thank you for the great strip!
This was absolutely hilarious and beautifully rendered! I just got back from vacation with my family – enjoyed services, Shabbat dinner with a Chabad rabbi, met up with the daughter of my rabbi – all in-between beach, fishing, pool and shopping state-side…
As a manager of technical businesses, we have traveled extensively on business,spent a year working in Singapore, Reston Virginia, Tulsa Oklahoma, and Santa Rosa, California. We get rapidly into the local Jewish Community by going to and "joining" a local synagogue. We meet interesting people and get invited to events that tourists don't read about.
As tourists we stumble across Jewish settlements.We go back as tourists to places we have lived in. We have gone on Jewish Elder Hostels, as one on important Sephardic communities in Portugal and Spain. A month in Xi'an China took us to a nearby "extinct" community , the Kaifeng Jews, ran a Rosh Hashona service in Xi'an for 27 volunteers teaching with us, went to a Bar mitvah in Beijing. In Santa Rosa found Kosher Jewish Vineyards, a Jewish raspberry farm, and How Japanese chicken farmers who were interned in WWII had their businesses run by Jewish farmers and returned in good shape afterwards.We visited the "blue mosque" in Xi'an, built by Middle east Merchants, who married Chinese wives and became half of Xi'an's population. They also invited Jewish merchants who crossed the Gobi Desert to use the Mosque for Sabbath services, as Muslim Sabbath ends at Sunset Friday, and a mosque has no religious art work.
I was temporary "Rabbi" for Friday night services in Reston for a group of young Jewish Veterans from Vietnam War who married Vietnamese women and had Jewish "Vietnamese" children, and could only support a Sunday School. The Jewish Ambassador to Singapore and his wife,a fine painter, had a two page spread in the Malaysian Times, aided by my wife's friends in publishing. WE met them again at dinner in Jerusalem two years later. Our life has been enriched by these encounters.
In 2004, my first year in Lake Charles, Louisiana, I decided to visit the
quaint synagogue that was located downtown next to the Masonic lodge. They were doing a kol nidre service and the singer was the chairwoman of the McNeese State music department. My wife couldn't go because she was working so I was there alone. I looked forward to it, the building like the tiny synagogue I used to attend as a teenager in Staunton, Virginia. I took a seat toward the back and a man, recognizing that I was a new face, came up to me and introduced himself. Ah, I thought as we shook hands, it's good to be among lantsmen. Then as the conversation went on he asked me where my wife was and I said that she was working. Working tonight, he noted. I said that she wasn't Jewish though I'm not sure if
that's what he meant. I remember his face changing. Intermarriage, he said, would be the end of Judaism. I said I didn't think so. He turned angrily and resumed his seat at the front. I stayed to the end of the
singing but never went back. In fact it was the last Jewish site I ever visited.
sweet cartoons… nice job.
Wally, Auckland NZ
Pretty clever article.
I've done the same thing and enjoyed every minute of it.
Experienced Sinchas Torah at a shul in Marrakech, Morocco, visited a 500 year old shul in Istanbul where the bimah was shaped like Noah's Ark and went, along with my wife and teen children to Guatemala during "Holy Week" and attended a Seder while there.
Great experiences every one.
