“Chasing a Dream”

The bright sights, active sounds, and vivid smells tell the story of a life style which I have fell in love with. I have been in the culinary field for twenty odd years and find it a passion, which never bores me, and always finds constantly changing and new horizons to challenge my mind and experience. Some people may enter this field with aspirations’ and hopes’ of owning their own establishment. I to have these goals; furthermore, I am making them a reality by my vision and my actions. My vision is a restaurant/ club, “The Thunder Café” which I can see clearly in my mind, from the foyer which has pictures representing social activists, groups, and clubs who brought about change and today’s unique cultures, to how my establishment will be a gathering place that gives back to the community by hosting children’s shows and an interactive forum for the whole community. The menu has continued to grow and shape in my mind for the last ten years. The educational plan to reach these goals has been in effect for the same. I shall finish my culinary degree at Lane Community College focusing on what it takes to open and run a food establishment to prepare me for the great adventure of opening, “The Thunder Café”.
