All smiles at Oakwood Common


I can't imagine 10 extra people working in our kitchen for two days, let alone 10 chefs. But Oakwood Common agreed to do it two years in a row!!!!!! On behalf of all of the visiting chefs, I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks, and a tip of the toque, to Steve and the entire Oakwood staff, especially Chef Jamie and his brigade. Every single staff member that I encountered kept an amazingly upbeat attitude for the duration of the Town Hall event, AND, Steve and Dan even fed us. While the guest chefs were having fun, the Oakwood chefs were doing their prep wherever they could find a spot, sometimes on banquette tables (six of them set up throughout the kitchen), and constantly answering such important questions like, "Where can I find the brown sugar?" Most impressively, Oakwood's staff also continued to serve their residents the great tasting, good looking food they are accustomed to, despite all the goings on.
