It's been a month since I've last posted. Time has quickly flown by with the opening of Hastings les amis du FROMAGE and Au Petit Chavignol. The restaurant has been busy from the moment it opened. Thank you to everybody for all of your support. The dust is slowly settling, so hopefully we can all start to get back on track. We had a private ceremony and wonderful dinner on Saturday to celebrate the Guilde des Fromagers Confrerie de Saint-Uguzon. Members of the guild came from Paris to induct Alice, Allison and myself, along with several food professionals into the guild. Jackie Connelly took some great photos of the event.
Alice received a special medal, different from the others. She was designated a Maitre Fromager of the Guild des Fromagers Confrerie de Saint-Uguzon. I understood it to be one of only a few appointed so outside of France. Brad and Owen made a delicious meal including canapes of salmon tartar, choux pastry with duck rillettes, charcuterie, a melt in your mouth beef bourgignon, cheese, and apple galette. Also, a big thank you is in order for Annette, Ingela, Naomi, and Angela for their wonderful service. It was fun to be on the other side of the bar after a month of helping customers.
