I am greatly saddened to hear that Chef Arturo Paz has parted ways with Tex Mex and Beyond in Berlin, Md. I just recently reviewed the restaurant and was greatly impressed with Chef Paz and what he accomplished there during their very difficult opening period. I am planning on returning and sampling the new chefs abilities. I will let you know what I find.
The Hardcore Foodie has been in and around the restaurant business for over 40 years. Starting out as a busboy during his teen years he attended Johnson and Wales and graduated with a degree in Hospitality/Hotel/Restaurant Management. Following graduation he worked for Sheraton, Hilton and Marriott properties on the east coast. Later in his career he managed well known, high end, freestanding Italian and French restaurants in Washington DC, Atlanta Ga., Scottsdale Az. and San Diego Ca. Upon returning to DC he worked for Marriott Food Services as GM of both the House of Representatives and Senate Capitol Building operations for 5 years. The Hardcore Foodie has lived in Ocean City, Md. for 12 years but still keeps active in the food industry through consulting, writing and constant research.
