Cottage Grove Historical Soceity


After many Chef travels, I never thought for a moment I would open a restaurant in a small town. when I looked in the mirror, I only saw Bright city lights and glamorous cocktail parties on the horizon. But here I stand, after some twists of fate and some marvelous divine intervention!
I had the extreme privilege of catering the C.G. Historical Society's fundraiser Wed. night at the C.G. theater. and had quite a wonderful time of it!
There may be a spot for me after all, out here in the wilderness!
