Santos needs a Stimulus Plan 2009

I haven't written lately due to the fact that the past week I was sick with this nagging cold and also, I've been working diligently on my project. As some of you may know I left the restaurant business in pursuit of becoming an entrepreneur. However, I haven't left the business of food and wine completely, my project deals with food and wine, this time to my specifications and ideals.

There comes a time in a person's life when you've just got to give it a go and follow your dream, your bliss. My life, by breath, my passion has been entangled in the simplest thing that a human being needs to sustain life. It's simple and yet complicated. I have dedicated my life with the desire of helping other people understand that there is an art to living: eating for pleasure first.

Culinary school does not teach all it's future chef's this, it only provides the technical skill needed to show what mother nature has given us on our abundant fertile lands. Attending sommelier classes does not teach you what kind of love it requires in making that beautiful glass of Merlot you are sipping tonight. It merely suggest what nuances to detect in each type of grape varietal. And so my point is, it doesn't matter if you hold the highest degree in the land in your professional field. If you have not the passion to live and work happily, then you're in the wrong place.

For me, it happens to be a bit of a slow going snail for my project to come to fruition. First of all, this economy sucks, some of my backers somehow backed out in becoming my partner (a bit understandable, nonetheless it sucks.)

I believe that this is the perfect time to open a business. Food and drugs (the kind from CVS people) are the two things that will always be in need.

So, my dear friends, I am reaching out to those who believe in my passion- my training- my skills- my experience- my never ending quest for perfection and profitability- and perhaps you may want to share in this venture or know of someone.

I have been humbled by this experience in learning what it truly takes in planning my project. Its simple really. It will be an intimate place for friends to gather, have great bites, wonderful drinks and a place to soothe the soul. I've even picked out the perfect spot.

I just need a little assistance. Peace and love.
