I love Villa Tronco. I love my Chef, our pantry cook and our dishwasher, I love the family that owns it, I love the waitstaff, I love the kitchen. I have only been there two days so I am quite nervous about loving it so much already. Today will be a test because I am going in at 3pm to work dinner instead of 8:30am to work lunch, and I will also be working with a guy who I have not yet worked with.
Yesterday I got to shadow the breadmaker and all I can say is - in 45minutes he does what I think would take me 3 hours! My Chef's goal is to put me on bread and lunches in a couple of weeks - yikes, I have so much speed to pick up. I am learning a lot though and trying to keep a record of everything i learn. I made homemade pesto yesterday, an amaretto sauce to go over amaretto bread pudding (yum yum yum) and basically just plated eggplant parmigiana and lasagna and dropped pasta for orders during the lunch rush. it was insane but that is how I like it.
finally, i love the walk there. if I don't ride my bike, I park 5 blocks away and walk over to the restaurant. at 8:20 am it is absolutely perfect weather right now - warm with a little breeze and the street is green and lush and offers shade until I get to Sumter St - and then I am almost there. it has been great. I will try to keep you posted on good recipes/ideas without betraying the confidence of Villa Tronco!
