Started in September, hired under false pretense, rebranding for January. I'm sad. This place was also my dream job for years and now it's turning into something I want no part of.

    Beautiful presentations! I’d eat all of them 😋

    What you mean false pretenses?

  2. Wow, I am a long time lurker in this sub, and supplied high quality seafood to restaurants in the greater LA area for several years. I am moved to comment on this. Great job chef, looks so well balanced in both taste and presentaton, you could go anywhere 🙂

    Dishes look great chef! You might like the new look of the restaurant? I would wait it out to see what happens.

    Radish sprouts much? Lol jk everything looks great, but I prefer to have the sprouts in a neat bunch on the plate for a more visual appeal. But again take it with a grain of salt, just one mans opinion.

    Lovely plates. I went through exactly what you are describing a few years ago. I landed, what I thought, was my dream job and 3 months in the entire operation was sold off to some big corporate entity. It turned into a Hell on earth situation. I quit, and actually accidentally landed an Executive Chef position that I thought was gonna be “meh”…

    It turns out I fell into a job that is 1000 times better than the last! My work space and new restaurant are actually my “happy place”.

    My point is, I feel your pain. This industry can chew us up and spit us out faster than I can make a hollandaise. You have all my sympathy and empathy. Hold on and hold out for a better opportunity. You have real talent, something better will come along.

    I have faith, you’ll find some new and amazing.

    Food looks amazing. Sorry to hear it’s been a disappointment. I was also hired under false pretenses once (bait and switch essentially) and oooh it is not a nice feeling when that happens…. Best wishes to you!
