The Pisces Kitchen Gang!

Chaine des Rotisseur Dinners are perhaps some more “prestigious” events any kitchen can measure up but really no one is after that group as it means lots of work for a bunch of middle aged “connoisseurs” who breast them self with funny colored medals. Until now I had some respect for this organisation which by the way are in most larger city’s around the world. But since my last e-mail conversation with a so-called and Ahh-so-important Charge des Press of the Chaine UAE I lost all my admiration of even come close to this club. It seems to me there is an all secrecy about their activity; almost like Illuminati of Angels and Demons.Mind you; conversation and style is all in French but perhaps 90% not even understand that language! During the dinner they even had a photographer and we where told we can access the images true their website. When I did this and accesses the gallery I was prompted to sign up to gain access which I did. Surely enough I received an e-mail of the Charge des Press that I was activated. Looking at the images I noticed there where only two or three food shots and rest showed some grim looking old group of people on the pisch wearing some brightly colored medals, like champions of the night! As I was asked if I was a member of the Chaine I replied that I was not a member and seconds later received this: “Sorry – I have deactivated you. All information on the CHAINE website is ©.”  What did you think Mr. Shepley; that I will download any of this group photos and paste it in my Resume?? WOW, that would be cool.

Anyway; this had to be said, this was my five minutes of rant. After all that work which went into this evening. Enjoy my pictures; without the retiree’s!
