Orbital, I can do a lot, but alas, cooking is NOT one of em...
But aahh, my lovely LOVELY
LOVELY!! wife does!
(although, the humble angel she is -- she will deny it -- but in truth, she does MORE than simply cook. For every dish we serve, she has to pair flavors to textures, prep times to food stations, vendors selection to food costings... etc, etc -- WWAAYYY above my head!!
-- What a wonderful, smart and beautiful woman I got, huh?!!!
)
At Chakra we actually have a few chefs. The head chef, Colin Sako has an outstanding and impressive resume, including a dozen years at Regency Club (an ultra-exclusive private dining club). No idea why he wants to play in our tiny restaurant -- but NOT COMPLAINING!!
(Also have no idea why my wife tolerates me -- but ALSO not complaining either!!
)
Lunch in a couple of weeks!!
P/S: Glad you like the "neighbor" (the humble 'Banyan'), 'cause that's ours too...
