new job.

Two weeks into my new job, I'm as excited about it as I was on the first day.




My official title is Executive Assistant to Chef Mike Lata, a man I've admired since the moment (maybe before?) I moved to Charleston. Aside from being executive chef and part owner of FIG restaurant, he's a total class act - James Beard Award Winner, Iron Chef contestant, writer, entrepreneur, father-to-be, and on and on.

With one already-stellar restaurant and another amazing one underway, I cant wait to see what this year brings. Every day of this job is different and I love it.

*See what's going on at FIG on Facebook. Also, above photos are from brunch at Larder, not FIG.
