In Atlanta for now -- looking at opportunities in the DC area. Having spent a lot of time in professional kitchens on every level, I love trying new things in the kitchen -- no fear here! 'Looking at possibilities in upscale catering and/or a B&B situation in the Northeast. Now -- If I could just get Seattle to move somewhere between DC and Baltimore, and still have the mountains and the water, life would be perfect...lol.
