My Decade of Definition

As a cook, I was not the most strategic thinker. I moved to the kitchen from the front of the house because I didn’t like interacting with guests, but liked the restaurant business. I moved around a bit not thinking of a career path or what the next step might be until I had a “moment” working the line at a busy restaurant on Maui and decided I needed to go to cooking school to get myself out of the path I was headed. I didn’t know what I wanted, but I was sure of what I didn’t want and that was to be a middle-aged, washed up line cook.

Great food comes from great ingredients.

I was asked to contribute a recipe to the Niman Ranch Cookbook. Having had a long and productive relationship with Bill Niman and his company, I was honored and sent over the requested recipe without hesitation. At George's at the Cove, we share the same values of sustainability, support for family farms and proper animal husbandry as the Niman's. We use their pork exclusively and a good portion of our beef also comes from Niman Ranch.

Star Chefs Congress

Last year I took some of the mixology classes and thought they were very interesting, with modern interpretations and twists on old cocktails, as well as some new ways of looking at this exciting field. I decided to bring Frankie along this year to help in his development as one of the most exciting mixologists in San Diego. As you will read in Frankie's article, I think he found some new inspiration for our Modern Bar cocktail menu.

Reimagining George's at the Cove

Reimagining George's at the Cove

Flashback to 1984, the year George’s at the Cove opened. I had just purchased my first VCR. Computers were not an integral tool in business or personal use.
