new career plans

well as some of you know Discover Card has decided to close their center in dover... the TRANSITION ( as they call it ) is between Oct 1st and Dec 1st...so after 15 years its time ot look for a new job...so...

i have officially enrolled in Del Tech's Culinary Arts program...i will have to take a couple courses at night until the official closing...

this career field historically doesnt pay a lot but it has been a dream of mine for a long time..

Hopefully this is the official start of Fat Lew's BBQ and Grill...

Well, they say that every dark cloud has a silver lining..... Looks like you've found yours, Lew! Like the rest of the guys, I'll be very glad to sample your wares. I'll also be looking for you on "Hell's Kitchen" or the "Iron Chef". I wish you the very best, now "Go Get 'em Lew"!

Good luck with that Lew......It's an honorable profession, and hell.....Who doesn't like someone who can really throw together a terrific spread?.......

Johnson & Wales opened their culinary university here in Charlotte a couple of years ago....And we're all the better for it.

It's GOTTA be better than working in an office!!!

Hey Lew, My stepson has been going to a culinary school for three months now. He just got a job with a major hotel chain, making $15.00 an hour to start. Things have a way of working out. Good luck to ya buddy.

I just hope you use that new-found professional knowledge to throw us a bone once in awhile here. You know. How to cook the perfect steak.....Or how to make the perfect Hollandaise sauce in a waring blender.......Or Peking Duck in under a day......Or 'French Cooking for Dummies'......

Don't hold out on us, Man.....
