Building Vineyard Cafe, Week 12: Chef Training Begins

After firing our builders for finally making more mistakes than we would tolerate, we had a few days to begin training our staff, before their replacements could come in and fix the rest of the problems.

This post first appeared on the Vineyard Cafe blog as a photo album in July 2006. Vineyard Cafe was the restaurant I opened in a Beijing hutong in 2006 with Will and Xuduan, and while we built it we kept a blog and a weekly photo album of our progress. The blog is long gone, so I have brought it back here. See the whole Vineyard Cafe story.
