Chapter 8 is the name...

So....I'm finally back to work at a new Steakhouse in Agoura Hills/Calabasas called Chapter 8.

I can tell you one thing for sure - opening a restaurant is not easy, nor much fun!!  Chapter 8 is the second restaurant for the owners with P6 being the first place off of Lindero Canyon Road in the same area.

Chapter 8 is a Steakhouse Lounge with amazing decor.  The restaurant seems to belong more in Las Vegas, Miami or NYC then Calabasas and that is why for both pre-opening nights we served 240+ guests.

All the meats I butcher and grill are USDA Prime.  My prep/butcher list includes some fourteen different items.  I hope to get some photos up soon but I have to ask mngmnt first.

Stop by if you like, just don't ask for any favors yet - I am still working on my temps at the all wood grill.

It's funny - I was relaxing, working here and there with family and friends for the month and a half after Italy, then BOOM - back pains, hand pains, dirty fingernails etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

Hi Ore,
I'm a friend if Eric's and he brought back some of your famous salumi earlier this year. I loved it!
Congratulations on your new job! Just one question. After all that wonderful training in Italy how could you work in a steak house/lounge? You seem WAY above that. What gives?
Best, Ed
