The acclaim chefs approach is always to use the very best ingredients dish is a staple item on his menu does this fish come from brittany or where is it from and its sampled by the chef himself. Globalism nowadays much of what you get is from agriculture and nothing against our culture its good for sustainability for the taste its a very different story theyre fed so theyre relatively lazy they get fat in the taste is completely different. Places great value on staying true to his direction and building his own profile instead of chasing trends. Unlike many other chefs amador sticks with the tried and tested his near how pigeon has been on the menu for years. Imagine going to a Rolling Stones concert i dont sing i cant get no satisfaction the classics are what people want. Our guests come from around the world. Recently and we didnt have a pigeon on the menu and one person said i came all the way from korea and you dont have the pigeon its important this is from.

Every country in every town has its own traditions to see out the winter and will come in this spring zurich in switzerland for example light a huge bonfire with a snowman on top packed full of fireworks but not just that man on horseback in historical costumes yellow around the ball fire until the snowmen explodes so i guess you could say the good people of zorak start Spring Season with a big bang.

Seeing the state the guilty members are all male you know its always been that way but the women who are invited once or twice a year and they have their own activities get out maybe take the to dispose of. The shed they complain i know oddly enough they dont they dont mind the boys having their get togethers. And later on the boys will gallop around the fire on four hundred well trained horses the women are there to cheer them on. But first the guilds take part in a procession through the city center some of them were founded in the fourteenth century at one time they oversaw entire professions. Today they uphold tradition and social events then are folks group of writers lead the whole thing in guild before the fire is lit the horses have time for a breather.

Every guilty x.

So im not that worried about. That. For the guilds the evening has only just begun later on the festival halls will resound with moving speeches.
