February 2010

Fellow Chefs,

The Club Chefs of Connecticut would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to General Manager Brian Dwyer, Chef James Chizmadia and the rest of the Brooklawn team for an unparalleled effort in making the Club Chefs January meeting a triumphant success.

Chef James prepared a stylish menu of Foie Gras in an Herb-Salt Crust, Bistro Salad with Shredded Duck and Sherry Vinaigrette, Cast Iron Seared Wellington Farm Chicken and a selection of Fine Cheeses which ended our luncheon perfectly.

Thanks to our three guests, Bella Bella Gourmet’s Bob Ambrose, Wellington Farm’s George Oppenheimer and Michael Pelletier of Fountainhead Wines who spoke eloquently on behalf of their products, and to Creative Wholesale Meats Barry Schwartz and John Cuddy for providing the educational aspect of the day.

Korean Proverb
티끌모아 태산. (Tikkul moa tae-san.)
One can build a mountain by collecting specks of dust
Meaning: Since you can build a mountain by collecting dust, even if it might
take a long time, if you work hard, you might be able to obtain your goal.
