Chef James...this menu looks awesome!! I wish I could come out to attend the event--

Hope everything is going well over at the school. I actually miss coming in on weekends as I was so getting used to the routine...lol

Things are going well at the Pluckemin Inn. I am just trying to keep pace with everything as I was put on the line right away. It can get intimidating, but its fun altogether---
