my girlfriend will be shadowing one of Symon's 8 chef's at Lola.
Michael doesn't do much when it comes to cooking.....hence the 8 chefs in the kitchen.
but, this is just another positive for the city of Cleveland!

I am thrilled with the outcome. Did you know that Chef Symon got his start at Players in Lakewood--so we can claim him, too!!!!!!!!!! It's a great day--can't wait to see where this takes him!

Sheesh....after consulting with my husband--you're right Geppettos and then Players.... : )
All good--Chef Symon gets big kudos for believing in Cleveland and raising the culinary bar!

It was the Warren Road Gepetto's, not the Lakewood shop...
But yes, the Player's connection is still there.

The challenger worked in a restaurant owned by a group of owners of small farms. What an interesting way to get your products to market!
