Life is short. Eat dessert first!

Whether I'm creating specialty cupcakes for a baby shower, making hundreds of mini desserts for a Yelp event, or simply baking some cookies for friends - I absoloutely adore desserts!  Sugar? Yes! Flour? Oh yeh! Chocolate? Gimme, gimme! 

Pastries Not Potatoes is not only a blog, but my tiny little dessert only catering company as well.  I've been in the food business for more than ten years and I can't think of anything better than to share my love of food with not only Chicago, but the world!

    Happy Headhunting.

    DateMonday, October 13, 2008 at 02:43PM

    Friday evening I recieved a phone call from my Los Angeles based headhunter, Brad Metzger.  I haven't spoken to him in over a year; for obvious reasons.  My career here in Chicago is wonderful, I just bought a home, and the crappy economy wouldn't allow me to relocate back to California even if I wanted to.

    However, it's nice to know that someone like Brad is still checking in with his clients, and for me personally - he's never actually placed me in a position, but tried for several months to get me to come back to L.A. when I moved back here over five years ago.  I'm grateful to know that there are people out there who are looking out for the best interests of my career, and Brad is amazingly talented at what he does.

    If you're on the west coast and looking for a restaurant job, give him a call.  He knows what he's doing and has the best contacts in the business.
