Random Photo #606: The Young Chef Meets The Three Wise Ones
December 1, 2009
Felix Maristany speaks and chefs Neil Wyles, John Bishop, and Vikram Vij listen...
I like this shot because of what shows in the curled up and quite pleased expressions of the veteran chefs seated on the right.

Well done Felix.

It rolled with the first ever Bartender of the Year award feature as part of the 17th annual Vancouver magazine restaurant awards issue (May 2006), which – on the strength of the pose struck above – you can bet your ass I won’t be recycling any time soon. Freakin’ meow.

We just love this attendee’s t-shirt, spied at this past weekend’s annual airshow.
