Loomis Velo Cafe Welcome to my food blog. Welcome to my personal blog, where I share my passion for two things I love dearly: cooking and cycling. The catch?

During my time in college in the 1990s, I gained experience in restaurant kitchens: prep cook, pizza/ pasta, sauté, grill, breads & pastries... This is my appreciation of the art of cooking and the world of food. While the name of the blog might seem a bit puzzling at first, it perfectly combines these two hobbies of mine, though I can't always say which one I prefer more! My culinary adventure began back in high school, thanks to a unique deal with my parents. They offered me a car with a monthly payment of $186. I had to cover the payment, insurance, gas, and maintenance. This challenge led me to my first job in a restaurant, introduced to me by my eldest brother. Starting as a dishwasher, I embarked on a 12-year journey in the culinary world, culminating in the role of an executive chef and mentor to interns from a local culinary academy. It's been 30 years since my last professional stint in a restaurant, but my enthusiasm for cooking has only grown stronger with time. Join me as I share this enduring love for culinary arts and cycling adventures!

It’s my one year Happy one-year anniversary to my 14” Santa Barbara Forge carbon steel pan. Former executive chef here — I’ve used and abused it, and it’s only gotten better. Fourteen inches is the sweet spot for sauté work, and it takes high heat like a champ. This is my go-to pan.

Fresh out of the oven and smelling amazing : This week it’s Kalamata Olive Loaf baked to go with our Halloween favorite pumpkin soup. Think crusty, olive-packed perfection that's equal parts salty. PM to reserve a loaf.

Cheese Bread is the flavor of the week.
