Something Different

So as many of you may know I have worked in corporate restaurants since I was 15. Every company I have ever worked for has had great food and I have the belly to prove it. However no matter how good the food or how extensive the menu, having the same things over and over again gets very boring. Many of us in the industry end up doing one of two things. Either we begin to trade out food with other restaurant managers, or like me we begin to "play" with the product we have available to us. Depending on where I have worked and how extensive their menu, I have had opportunities to be more or less creative. Today I had a recipe that I just could not get out of my head. I had to make it happen. So when it came time to make my meal for the day I brought my creation to life. It was amazing. It came out better than I could have ever imagined so I have to share it with you. So here it is, Spicy Ahi Spring Rolls!
