Farmstead on Swine Flu and Factory Farming

[What follow is a private email which Matt Jennings, the chef and co-wner (with his wife Kate) of Farmstead & La Laiterie, sent out to friends and industry associates about the Swine Flu and factory farming. Coming from someone who is both very involved in, and very passionate about, the world of food and it's origins, it is a telling read. We reprint it here on Providence Palate with Matt's permission.]

Friends,

This is a hard email to write. Some of you are farmers. Some of you are chefs… Continue

Looking for job in the kitchen

I'm currently a J&W student, with only 4 kitchen classes left. I do work full time, however it's not my passion. I'm having allot of trouble finding a job in the kitchen due to lack of experience. I previously worked at Gilette Stadium doing prep, and have done some volunteer events through J&W to build my resume. I'm a serious 31 year old mother of two trying to get my foot in the door somewhere. If anyone can help me out that would be very kind. Thanks!

what happened to Parkside?

Anybody know what happened to Parkside. I ate there a few years ago and the rotisserie offerings were pretty good. I went there recently and it was DREADFUL. The place was 1/2 full (1/2 empty) and the service was still terrible. The appetizers, particularly the calamari, were worse than average. I had an inedible duck served on the worst risotto I have ever tasted - totally amateur. I was surprised when the waiter took my full plate and didn't inquire as to what was wrong. Maybe that explains wh… Continue

I'm....Waitin' for the Cart....

Channel some Lou Reed:

We got some hot dogs-
We got some onions-
Got some relish and we put it on some bu-uns-
I'm... waitin' for the cart.

I'm talking about the Chez Pascal hot dog cart. I know it's still February, but it's sunny, warm, and I'm done with dirty snow and pot-holes. I want to sit in the sun, feel the breeze, listen to the creak of the swings and the wobbly sounds of ice cream trucks.

And I want the dogs.

That's all.

This place is usually packed whenever I go there.
There was a similar place a couple blocks down from my old house in Philadelphia. Place was always busy. The tea bar did more business then the pseudo Asian cuisine in an adjacent room.
