We were done of prepping for the day and it was dinner serving time. Cortney & Nick, the owners/ chefs of Bar Tartine invited us to sit down for dinner. I was so excited to taste all of their creations.

The next day was the big day, so we got to the restaurant early in the afternoon and helped some more prepping. They were going to make my scallop and daikon rice recipe from the book, so I helped getting the rice ready and made a test version to show the team.

We also did meetings with both the chefs and in-front-of-the-house staff separately. We were getting ready!
