2011 July: Change is in the Air





 

Mount Rainier viewed from Sea-Tac.

  

   Four and half months and I just now was able to see Mount Rainier.  It is absolutely amazing.  So I went to the 8th floor of the parking garage at the airport and got some great shots.

   The last week of my externship is finally here.  I have passed through the trials of the airport and its high volumes of service.  Anthony's Fish House, Anthony's Fish Bar, Wolfgang Puck Express, Dish D'lish, Chilis, Seattle Taproom, Great American Bagel Company, Starbucks, Commissary and Burger King, plus working on menu and recipe development for two new concepts, "The 12th Man" and Dungeness Bay Seafood House.

Wolfgang Puck Express - Brick oven Pizza

Starbucks at Sea-Tac

  For my final week I have to prepare a 4 course meal for sixteen people.  I have chosen to prepare a 7 course menu.  I have to use at least one ingredient from each location that I worked at and I can only use ingredients that are in stock within the HMS Host inventory at the airport and commissary.

Here is the menu for my final exam dinner.
