As many of you know, I post blog entries to educate and entertain other people about the culinary world and my journey to become a chef/food writer.
Although, I haven't really got enough views on my website that I wanted. So I deiced to make a Facebook account to get more readers. I do also want to tell you that I did reveal my true identity on Facebook but I will still keep the identity of others under wraps to protect their identities. Although i'm not really making this account to show-off or to post updates like "oh...I bought new shoes today." I want to make posts to share my experiences as a culinarian, a writer and as a modern day renaissance man. I want people to know that the culinary position and that the culinary world is a wondrous place to move forward with not only individual life's but with society all together. It sounds a little heavy but I want to get the point across with what I want to share over with Facebook and my website all together.
Other than that, I do want to tell you about an update with my cookbook. I realized that we live in an age of advanced technology and a lot of people can get a lot of information very quickly. If I only deiced to publish the cookbook ,the old fashion way, then the trend based on the cookbook would be over and no one would use it. So after a lot of decision making, I deiced to make a website for the book. It is still in the planing stage but I think it could be something a lot of people would enjoy. I know its practically giving the recipes away but I want to share my vision of what make cooking and eating a wondrous experience. Besides, I'm not doing this for the money: Im doing this to share my creativity and my passion for cooking.
With that in mind, I am going to give you the second clue to my cookbook idea. The first clue in the last post was that this was based on an internet fad. The second clue is that this fad is based on a TV show. So if you have a guess about what the cookbook/recipe website might be? Please leave a comment on this web sight or on Facebook. For anyone who got it right, I will put your name in the special thanks page of the book.
Before I say a-do. I must reveal my real name. My real name is Kyle Hedlund and Im on Facebook. So feel free to find me and friend me on Facebook. For now I bid all of you a-do.

Volunteering at Uncommon Ground and a Hint from the Cook Book
Last night, I volunteered at a fundraiser for the R.O.C to promote a new exhibit of the restaurant worker movement and how the R.O.C got its start. It was one of those golden opportunity to talk to people about how the restaurant world is changing and how the organization is progressing to a bight future.
Whats also pretty significant about this event was that it was held at the greenest restaurant in America known as uncommon ground. This twenty one year old temple of environmentally friendly dinning was similar to looking into the world of progress in terms of conservation of the earth. The artwork on the walls were done by artists of the area. The walls and floors were made of natural hardwood and brick. The food was bright, colorful, and fresh that seem to burst out with every bite. It was one of those places that made me happy to be a student who someday might work or own a place similar to Uncommon Ground and to innovate my creations towards the future.
For the actual event, I was the one volunteer who helped out with the ticket booth at the door. It was somewhat the first time I handled admissions but I did a good job for the first time. After a while though, I suddenly became more of the public relations representative for the R.O.C and I was quite the character. I talked about the R.O.C, the College and my other adventures into the culinary world. I also discussed culinary literature, help out with the raffle and had a good time with friends and other members of the R.O.C. It was one of those days that I will never forget for a very long time.
As for my other agendas, I don't really have any classes until October so i'm just working at the Zoo for now and continuing my quest to be a chef/food writer. Im also still working on my cook book project and I deiced to let you the readers guess what it is. Every post I will give you a clue to what the cook books theme is. It could be anything but it could be something new. So here is the first clue.
Clue #1: This cookbook is based on a new internet fad that is taking the world by storm.
It could be a meme or some weird joke shared by friends. The possibilities are endless. If you think you know the answer or just want to guess, feel free to comment below.
With that in mind, I bid you a-do and enjoy this amazing weather in Chicago.

My First Youtube Video
In this post I uploaded my first Youtube video featuring my "Dignity at Darden" theme song.
I do want to note that this song does not reflect off of other businesses associated by this website and the creator of the video. This is strictly used only for the R.O.C and the Dignity at Darden campaign. NO other business, organization (except for the R.O.C), or political group is involved with the video or the song. This is my own creation and I alone have created this song for the campaign and the R.O.C only.
I would also want to note that, yes I did use my real name in this video but it was only used for identity and copy write purposes. Plus, I want to give credit where credit is due. No one else was involved and their identities would be protected behind me.
This song was written for campaign since I played guitar for several years and there hasn't been a song for this campaign yet (until now). I decided to make the song to explain why were fighting this fight and how the R.O.C, the Food Chain Alliance, and the people who are supporting behind us want to change the restaurant business for the better. With that in mind, comment the video, share it with other people and enjoy.
