I worked with Ken over 20 years ago and his standard still knocks me on my ass. He gets is done right, even if he gets screwed over by a sub, he makes it right on your end. Nobody quite like him....And if you can get his chile relleno recipe from him, thats worth tearing apart your kitchen in and of itself!Hes one of the good guys.
