I'm not going to work at Q's. In fact, I called today and cancelled my work interview there tomorrow morning. The thing I couldn't get around was that I was going to turn the job down. I knew that. There was a part of me that wanted to go cook there for a day just for the fun and experience of it, but I respect the time of chefs and managers too much to waste it like that.
I have become increasingly convicted that it is not the time to work at Q's, Frasca, The Kitchen, The Cork, Jax, Full Moon Grill or any of the other places I was looking into. When I called John at Q's to back out, he was bummed; I was bummed. It was harder than I thought it would be. Not hard to be honest with him and cancel the interview, but hard in the way some decisions are; they hurt like crazy but they also bring a peace and excitement at being in God's will.
Julie says I get to cook for her still. And suddenly it's all worth it.
Tough choice bro, but I'm proud of you for doing what you knew was the right thing. I'm going to NJ tomorrow night, hoping to go to NYC for dinner and get a sweet meal, we'll see if it happens or if we eat in NJ. Is there such thing as a nice restaurant, or nice anything in NJ?

Jersey folks would say so. You can at least get some great pizza.
