24 hours

So he we go Chef Daniel Boulud host a competition every year in the kitchen of Daniel in New York City now you stage for three days  and  also get to creat a couple of  a dishes  for all the chefs and and sou chef , Wow  there was a lot  of them and alot of pressure, that kitchen is amazing everything is so detail and perfect.. There was 3  CIA interns just for Amuse Bouche station .
 No lunch and 4 sou-chefs for you in the business you know!!!
what it really was a great experience  at that moment I knew I could of started all over again learning the basic and classic techniques and  I really wanted to win  so with plating I did a  Classic Dish ...
so I made something French  with a slight modern twist ..

Steam Asparagus with Fresh  Morels in a Hollaidaise Sauce.
Seared Halibut topped with a Shallot-Apple Salad finish with a lemongrass-ginger gastrique.
