Last May, I posted about my experience working the Taste of Derby, a Derby Weekend kickoff event that raises funds for various causes. I worked with chefs from around the world throughout a strenuous but amazing sixteen-hour day. During the five hours of dinner service alone, I cracked and retrieved the yolks of over 600 quail eggs, as well as a number of other duties. Although it was probably the most concentrated work I had ever done at once, I had a huge smile on my face all day.
It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
Although I graduated with my culinary degree a couple weeks ago, I have decided to work the Taste of Derby once again this year. When the event was held last year, I was in International Cuisine, and our class was asked to help out. I happily obliged! This year, I am working because I love the experience and ambiance of the whole event. There is nothing better than doing something you love, working with famous chefs, and networking with people from around the world, all while giving back to the community. I am definitely looking forward to the Taste of Derby 2013!
