It's only rock and roll

OK, previous post was nice, clean, safe; so here’s one for all of you other rumor mongering, must know people.
Once upon a time there was this chef who had a nice gig going as exec at a Top 50, (probably in its day, a Top 10) restaurant in Baltimore. They quit, come back, quit again, come back and then finally quit for good. Well it turns out chef had a very nasty coke and booze problem while there.

They leave, dry up, work at a bar in the county and then return to the city, in an exec position to a venue needing help. Guess what? Their food and service is terrible. It is getting panned in the local blogs. There is no Top 50 rating, staff is disgruntled.

Reminds me of those stories of those rock and roll artists who had some great songs and hits while they were high. They dry up and their music sucks.

Don’t get me wrong, I do admire this chef’s strength to get dry and stay dry, now for over a year, almost two. I am very proud of them.

It’s just a shame their food sucks now.
