Patience, Time ............... and Butter

A combination of a few ingredients, spun together in just the right way can be nothing short of marvelous. Each ingredient holds its own purpose, but in the end they work together to achieve an edible wonder whose sole ambition is the guests' (and sometimes, employees') enjoyment. A sometimes painstaking, but always rewarding, process in all its glory.

There are times when you may see someone close their eyes at first bite, as the individual leaves melt into a devastatingly, buttery mouthful; a sense of accomplishment serves as its own reward in a chef's moment of silent recognition. For those who may not share the opinion that good food takes time, or that truly great food takes time and skill, there is little hope. For those who do not appreciate the process it took to get there, I can offer you no comfort.

However, if you love butter as much as I do, your mouth is already watering.
