Hello everyone! For those of you who don’t like food and reading about food this is not the blog for you. Let me start by introducing myself. I am Jamie aka The Psychotic Chef. It has been a family nickname that has stuck ever since I first started cooking up a storm when I was ten. I am writing this blog because of my passion for food. I have wanted to be a chef since I was ten, which led me to train all over in some great places in order to get into both Johnson and Whales and The Culinary Institute of America. Of course I went to the CIA, but I had to leave because of a fainting disorder, which I now know I have. I have decided to go to SUNY Purchase starting this fall in order to reach my new dream of becoming a food critic. Through this love I have created this blog in which every entry will be based on a different restaurant, food store, or website I have ventured to. There will be plenty of food and humor to go around, so please feel free to give a read.
I work at one of the large and brilliantly orginized Balducci’s in New York. Balducci’s is an on going corporation that continues to grow just as it’s sales. The loud orange, black, and white logo screams attention as this gourmet food store has thousands shop their daily. The food may be slightly pricey, but they quality makes it fair. There is catering, prepared foods, deli, seafood, meat, bakery, flower, sushi, and coffee departments, which makes the store well rounded and convenient for all types of customers. The people that work there are very pleasant especially, when dealing with the most obnoxious soccer mom’s around. The up beat music and samples makes browsing a lot easier as well as, hanging out in the coffee bar area. Whether you are looking for chips and salsa, a late, party plans, or the latest sand which Balducci’s is the food store for you.
