I will get some of the seafood medley on my next trip to Costco. I buy the shrimp but missed this package. Your cooking techniques parallel many of the things I prepare. Bon Appetit !!!!

You need a brigade of cooks and prep guys to work at this level. Banquet and restaurant level cooking require similar skills to manufacturing in that consistency of everything including timing is critical. It’s immensely stressful. If you can get to see i... 

And beautifully presented without be pretentious. Those cherry tomatoes are my go to across all four seasons to add color and acidity. Beautiful!
