Arai's last day

Today was Arai's last day. He was in charge of the meat station initially until Chiho took over. He is already a chef in Japan but came to France to work for about a year. Really really nice guy in and outside of work - and of course an awesome cook/chef.

Chef gave me the night off in exchange for helping the front of the house wipe some plates. I ended up cooking and cleaning on my "night off." HAHAHA But I still met up with everyone for dinner since it was Arai's last night. Chiho made a nice beef braise for our personal meal.

Look at Massa-san !


Later, I went for a nice 40 minute run to Centre Ville Menton, then to Italie, then back to France. (Yah I still love saying that). After service, we all met up in Enzo's room for some drinks to wish Arai Bon Voyage.
