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.
