Unsung Heroes

At 105degrees, I have been quite fortunate to be able to work with two very well-established, professional chefs:  Jason Lowery and Don Gabriel Cashion. Both Jason, self-taught, who made his way up to executive chef with tons of restaurant experience; and Don, a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu–Paris, including a stint as pastry chef, are worthy of mention because in addition to being culinary mentors, they each have a strong work ethic, crackerjack knife skills (one was a butcher and the other a baker), are passionate about food, and work quietly behind the scenes making sure that the pantry is well stocked, the equipment is working properly, the prep is up to par, and that the kitchen is kept running smoothly — all done with a sense of pride and joy.  Just plain, ol’ nice guys!  Love ya, love ya!  Mm, hmm?
