Happy Valentine's

The restaurant is now officially closed. I have included pictures of our final night at Zesty's and the staff celebration that followed. It should be noted that I stole all of these pictures without permission from the lovely Kayla, so I hope she's not mad!

This is me cooking my last 3 steaks ever at Zesty's!

Heather and Kayla sharing a hug. Kayla does not smile in any of these photos!

Justin didn't want to turn around for a picture, so here's Justin's back.

Great food courtesy of Lesley (our lovely chef not pictured here because we put her to work!)

I know this face. This is Kevin's drunken story face. Sorry everyone that was present for it.

Maria working on her favourite burner on her end of the stove cooking fish. This is how I will remember Maria forever.

Sky looking surprised?

Kayla again looking Sad.

That's all for now, I'd just thought those of you who'd never seen Zesty's might like a tour! For those of you from Zesty's, Jason requested that I leave his e-mail address so that all of you can get in contact with him as he was not able to make it on our final night to deliver it himself.

Goodbye Zesty's

Hi everyone!

Obviously my trip doesn't start until May, however, I'm such a friendly guy I'm giving you all the opportunity to add this link to your bookmarks now so that you can be readily poised to receive updates from me as soon as they are posted. There's nothing to report yet except the very sad news that Zesty's has announced that it is closing its doors permanently beginning February 15th and thus myself and all of my wonderful co-workers are now unemployed. I will miss working with everyone there and I hope that I am able to keep in contact with you all through (by the least of means) this weblog.

Information on the trips I will working on can be found here. I will be accompanying the Tour Arctic, Tour Pacific and Tour Atlantic portions of this year's events.

In the meantime, here's a picture of a seagull I took to distract all of you from the rather barren nature of this weblog as it stands. Hopefully it can entertain you until I get a little closer to shipping out time!

Edit: I have enabled anonymous commenting, so leave a comment to let me know it works and that you all can indeed keep in contact with me this way.
