259580 Wed Mar 29 15:07:05 -0800 2000 5 26 International 0 1372154 I've been offered a job as the general manager of a restaurant in St. Thomas called the Agave Terrace. The only problem is that I live in Virginia currently. I'm traveling there soon to check it out, but I would be interested in hearing about other folk's experiences there. BTW--I found this site through Slate today. What a great idea! Why didn't I think of it? Wed Mar 29 15:07:05 -0800 2000 0 doug porter 1 1372155 Hi Doug: Welcome to Chowhound. Glad you found us. It sounds like you have quite an adventure ahead of you. And even you don't take the job, eat hearty while you're there and let us know what you discovered. I'll be surprised if someone out there doesn't respond to your query. pat Wed Mar 29 15:19:27 -0800 2000 1372154 0 pat hammond 1 1372169 well, i'd hoped for more responses, but what the hey? Until such time i either get hired or not, i'll try and write a little travelogue about my experiences. Staunton VA, where i currently reside, is the home of the Statler Brothers...and people around here think that George Washington (or Jeff Davis) invented chicken tenders with honey mustard sauce just after they wrote the second amendment. Let's call it "Country Boy Goes To Limboland". Mon Apr 03 16:19:49 -0700 2000 1372154 0 doug porter 2 1372175 Doug-- yeah, sorry about the lack of replies. We don't have much action on this International board yet...what we clearly need to do is divide it up into much narrower regions, since a big huge melting pot like this one isn't particularly enticing. It's on our to-do list.... ciao Tue Apr 04 20:29:07 -0700 2000 1372169 0 Jim Leff 3 1372200 hey, it was worth a shot. i'm down here in the virgin islands now. i'd give the restaurant a B+, with an A+ wine list, and a view of the ocean to die for. still don't know if i'm ready to commit to moving my family down here, but it sure is tempting.... Wed Apr 12 08:34:06 -0700 2000 1372175 0 doug porter 1 1375141 time has passed, and you have obviously either taken the job or not. If you did, you ****, as it is undoubtedly one of the worst, most overpriced restaurants I have ever eaten in, bad even by St. Thomas standards. Mon Mar 25 14:25:54 -0800 2002 1372154 0 sensi63
