Like the title says sometimes shit just happens. If anyone read last Friday's Modesto Bee, local section, you will find that 5 weeks away from our opening, Canal Street Grille suffered a minor setback... fire. But that's cool. This gives us a chance to hire the best and to perfect the menu. We are doing steaks, chops, ribs and seafood. It is going to be so awesome!

WELL,after much bidding in the incestous downtown community I have decided to take my show on the road... As of this Friday I will no longer be the Chef at Concetta, I am leaving that kitchen to my trusty sidekick of 5 months, Sam Bans. He is good and I hope everyone will appreciate him as much as I have...

Here we are, in what feels like late in the game. The late spring rains damaged what could have been an awesome produce season. I love to cook with farm fresh produce. There is something so special about knowing exactly where your food comes from and who grows it. I have been fortunate to know Brian Kline of Kline Organic Produce.
