The Eleventh Letter

Wow. Chefs really do heat things up! Sue Moats lead our group on a behinds the scenes tour of the newly renovated kitchen in Hemisphere, the hotels AMAZING restaurant, along with the full-length trip around the main kitchen, including the butcher!!(don't worry, I censored those pictures...). Needless to stay, we saw a LOT of stainless steel. It was quite interesting to learn about the cooking equipment used for massive meal prep- as well as the staffing! I hope some of these pictures inspire and amaze you like they did me... !


This is the chefs table in the back where before the night shift begins they all sit down for "family meal" and prepare whatever is around...



Chef Michael Voltaggio, who has hopes of opening a restaurant in South Beach one day...
