This week on Fails, Falls and F-Ups I talk to culinary educator and long time bad ass Chef Al Romano,definitely a man you wouldn't want to mess with when he is holding his chain saw, especially if you resemble an ice block. Chef Al Romano comes clean about what life is like in the food service trenches, opening several businesses and the emotional and physical toll that being a Chef and an Ice Carver can take on one's body. If you've ever thought about trying for the "glamorous" career of being a head chef, you'll want to hear what Chef Al has to say.

Chef might be taking to social media like a fish to a bicycle but you can ride along with him at these links:
