Cry Wolf!

I've been watching a Wolf cub grow up into a young man cub for quite a few years.  I met this boy along side his Dad, Tommy Wolf, quite a few moons ago on the soccer fields of Rankin County.  If you didn't know Tommy back then, you would, within five minutes, love him or hate him.  He was that kinds guy.  Me, I'm a lover, not a fighter!

Tommy left us way too early in his young adult life.  He did leave us a reminder of him through his three sons and beautiful wife Patty.  The one legacy I'm  fondest of is his middle child Conner.  One look at his killer smile and you see Tommy in him!

Conner and his brothers stepped up to fill the shoes that Tommy left at the back door.  One passion Conner had early was kitchen duty.  For him, food prep came easy.  It was quick to see that this young man had the talent in his bones to be able to carry a message through the plate of food.

Patty has never gone hungry with Conner near the kitchen. She has been able to nurture his passion by providing him access to the ingredients only trained Chefs appreciate.   Anybody can cook, but to be able to bring out the true flavors in a dish with Suttle herbal hints is a God given Talent.

Conner followed up on his food passion by first working with Jeff Good and Dan Blumenthal.  He then went off to the W for some initial kitchen skills training, followed up with a move to Miami for formal training at the Le Cordon Bleu.

Conner graduated this week from LeCordon Bleu, and he has been practicing his skills at Local 463, Caet, and Walkers Drive-in.  I have not yet been by to catch him in action, but all three locations are now on my hit list.

If you are in any of these fine establishments, give him a shout out!  And yell "tater bomb!"  For his Dad Tommy!
