**aphrodisiac is a substance
that increases sexual desire. The name comes
from Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of sexuality and
love. Throughout history, many foods, drinks, and behaviors have had a
reputation for making sex more attainable and/or pleasurable. However, from a
historical and scientific standpoint, the alleged results may have been mainly
due to mere belief by their users that they would be effective (i.e.. the placebo effect). In particular,
Western medical science has no substantiated claims that any particular food
increases sexual desire or performance.

ABOUT QVON
Qvon was the inspiration
behind the “POP Up and coming!” dinners. Completely out of the blue one day
this past summer he asked me if he could buy some duck breasts and some other
supplies. He was putting on a pop up dinner out on Pierce Island. It was his
night off and he had plans to do a four course menu for anybody that would show
up. He put it out on Face book announcing the dinner. A few people showed up
and he proceeded to make a great meal on a little grill. He had basically no equipment;
he had to borrow plates for Cava and other small tools. He took pictures of
each course and showed me the menu after the dinner. I was so impressed with
his motivation, passion, and desire to just create food. It is not often you
find young chefs with such motivation that they are willing to spend their own
money and take their time outside of their work kitchen to go and offer up such
an evening and cook for people not expecting anything (money) in return. Did I
mention he wasn’t charging for his 4 course meal! He just wanted the
opportunity to cook. It was from that pop up dinner we began talking about
providing a venue for these guys to do an event of their own.
Qvon has worked here at cava for five years now. He
began his training where all great chefs start, washing dishes. He has put in
many pain staking hours of washing scrubbing and sanitizing all to get to this
point. He has earned a position in the cava kitchen where his passion for food and
a relentless work ethic shine through. Qvon
is hungry for knowledge, filled with passion and highly motivated and that make
him a wonderful student. Qvon has a real touch with food and as he develops his
skills I am excited to see where it takes him. It is a pleasure to have him as
a member of our team and a real honor to have him take over the Cava kitchen
for a night. With his soon to be world famous southern fried chicken I know I
can’t wait.
