Can I get an amen for inspirtation

This past weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to learn under some incredible chefs.. Trying to find the words to explain how awesome it was is slightly difficult. The first main day was friday, which included a dinner service of 8 courses. I was paired with two chefs to work with for the weekend chef grady spears, and sharon hage. On friday morning I was asked to break down salmon, so I just say yes chef and get to work... yet I have never broken down salmon so it was nerve racking experience. First chef mike shows me, and Im still having trouble, then chef greg sharpe helps me and Im still a little confused. Then chef bernard comes and helps me and shows me a completely different way and it helped. The first salmon I broke down wasn't to pretty but with a little practice they began to improve. Friday night dinner service was so much fun working with all these great chefs on the line, it was defenitly an experience ill never forget. Then saturday continued on to work with chef Sharon more as we had our demo tent. The demo was a blast our dish was a roasted eggplant, on tomato bread, with hot peppers and fresh garden herbs.. I enjoyed working with sharon that day she really taught me alot and also worked on my knife skills as well. It was an amazing time. I look forward to what my future is holding Im determined to learn more.
