1200 Bistro Disappointment
The 1200 Bistro in Seattle, Washington used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. My friend Ian was a line cook there and the head chef was an intense crazy bastard who demanded perfection out of every meal. The result was incredibly good meals.

Under each category I listed out my to do list and goals. I am eventually going to break it out into immediate to do stuff, short term goals and long term goals.… read more “Goals”
