As I sit here watching history being made, the inauguration of Barak Obama as the 44th president, I am humbled to share this common experience with people all over the world. It really puts things in perspective. I've got chills down my spine as I, and hopefully many of us, dare to think positively about our collective future. But wait. Isn't this supposed to be a blog about my adventures working various food jobs and other silly acts? Why, yes it is but how can one ignore the magnitude of the history we are partaking in?
Will Work For Food premiered last night on Food Network and now the world knows what I've been up to for the past six months. The experience of traveling the nation and meeting different individuals and working these jobs is one that I am so honored to have had. I hope you all enjoyed the premiere episode highlighting my lobster and honey adventures. I think you get the idea of how this is going to play out. I go. I do job. Sometimes I do the job very well and sometimes, most of the time actually, It's a bit of a struggle. Hopefully, no matter what the results of my particular employment situation, it makes for an enjoyable watch.
The exciting thing aboutWWFF is that each episode is different. You'll never see me screw up the same way twice. Hopefully you'll learn a few things on the way as well. Whether I'm eating competitvely or trying to be a flair bartender. Farming Abalone or eating dog food. I hope you enjoy the show as much as I enjoyed making it. Please let me know what you think. It's my hope that in this format I may be able to give a little more insight to these adventures as you can only get so much out of a 10 or 12 minute edit. Consider this blog a sort of "behind the scenes with Adam Gertler". Thank you all so much for your support and congratulations go out to a America.
Peace,
Adam Gertler
