As much as I love the heat of summer (and [...]]]> http://agreatchef.com/blog/recipes/macaroni-and-cheese-recipe/feed/ 7 http://agreatchef.com/blog/ingredients/fruits/dragonfruit-or-pitaya/ http://agreatchef.com/blog/ingredients/fruits/dragonfruit-or-pitaya/#comments Wed, 12 Nov 2008 21:39:55 +0000 chefRob http://agreatchef.com/blog/?p=121 Between the hotel and moving my residence I have had no time to write about anything. I was shopping at 99 ranch the other day and saw, much to my surprise one of my all time favorite fruits…Dragonfruit.

Lunch is one of my favorite meals, especially here in San Diego. I am, as many know not a big breakfast eater and working late as I do lunch is (usually) my first meal of the day, unless you count coffee as one. I have designed the lunch menu at the Glass Door around [...]]]> http://agreatchef.com/blog/recipes/lunch-menu-highlight-salad-nicoise/feed/ 4 http://agreatchef.com/blog/restaurants/glass-door/menu-highlight-roasted-jidori-chicken/ http://agreatchef.com/blog/restaurants/glass-door/menu-highlight-roasted-jidori-chicken/#comments Thu, 09 Oct 2008 03:36:32 +0000 chefRob http://agreatchef.com/blog/?p=77 Menu highlights is a new feature that I am going to start doing on occasion.

Things have been a bit slow around the hotel these days, with the holiday over and all but the kitchen has been buzzing! Getting closer to our goal of having our full dinner menu available, we have been offering our customers 4 of our house made desserts.
