The Chef at Sonoma by peggysirk

The Chef at Sonoma

Tom and I had lunch at "Sonoma" yesterday. Friday is shrimp and grits day. Delicious. I got a quick shot of the kitchen action as we were leaving.

For the theme this week I'm thinking this could be a scene from "Iron Chefs: The Movie"...if there was such a movie. :)
LOL! This week's theme was the hardest...I really couldn't come up with anything and every time I had an idea someone else had posted it already. Oh, well, next week is another theme! I really love this shot. It's great and looks very candid....my favorite kind of shot!

He does look quite intense! That would be an interesting movie--I love those Top Chef shows when I get a chance to watch them.

Great action and capture of the focus they have while working!

@isisweiss I agree with you...this theme has been tough...but fun! :)

@emer I'm sure that professional chefs work extremely hard! I know the focus and energy I put into just cooking at home...I can only imagine what it's like in a restaurant kitchen! But, I think it would be a fun profession. Were/are you a chef??

Pretty sneaky there Peggy! Shrimp and grits sounds so yummy, and very southern. I need to go visit my sister one of these days. It's been way too long. :( I love the framing choice on this picture. It really pulled all of the wonderful tones together.

good capture, I think I could smell the food.

I must admit 'shrimp and grits' sounds a bit bizarre; but I'm sure it's delightful in real life. Great shot for the theme and the point is that you had a go. I couldn't come up with anything!

Like this shot, looks like a cooking show!

Cool capture! I like the positions of the workers and the curvy line of light somehow conveys the activity and brings the composition together nicely.

Great Capture He Looks Very Serious

@girlie Shrimp and grits are a southern specialty, Robin! If you like shrimp, I think you'd love it!

@petersonsheri Sheri, I do hope that whenever you find yourself down this way visiting your sister you'll let me know...I would love, love, love to see you and take you for a shrimp and grits lunch ~ or any kind of lunch that you'd like! :)

@sarasdadandmom Thanks, Terry! I wouldn't be surprised if you could smell it...this restaurant is bursting with fabulous food aroma!

@seattle Thanks, Constance! I used the cinema-scope editing in Picnik to give it an on screen kind of look. Guess it worked. :)

@aikiuser @top2042 Thanks for the nice comments, Jenn and LLW!
January 16th, 2011  
Nice catch as you were passing by! He does look like the mean chef on the show!
January 16th, 2011  
Nice! Sounds like a yummy lunch!
January 16th, 2011  
Yum! I miss all the fantabulous restaurants in Charlotte :( But here in Charleston, shrimp & grits is on the menu EVERY day! Great shot!
January 17th, 2011  
@peggysirk I had already thought about that! There would be absolutely no way that I could land in Charlotte and not spend a few hours with Peggy!! I have felt a bond with you from the beginning, and I think we would so enjoy sitting down for lunch. So much to talk about!!
January 17th, 2011  
Love this!!
January 17th, 2011  
Fab shot!
January 17th, 2011
