[Fredslist] Raw Food Chef

[Jared Brody]

Attached is the resume of a friend of mine and a great chef.  He has focused
on the raw food industry for the past few years, but prior was the executive
chef/steward on Kirk Korkian's private MGM plane for a decade.  He is
looking for a new opportunity in any area from catering to private chef.  If
anyone has any ideas please email Chef Lawrence.  Thanks.
