Aaron has been a member of the DR community for over five years. The last time I had his cooking was at Cedar, when he prepared a special meal for me and my young dining companion - it was that meal which confirmed what I already knew: Cedar, under the jurisdiction of Chef McCloud, was one of the top restaurants in Penn Quarter. The website will be offline from 12-1 PM today in honor of Aaron, our own "McChef." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Strelitz Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Great sentiment but was this meant for today? It's 12:38 and the site is still up.... (maybe not meant to be inside pages?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I apologize - I'm in Chicago, have been bouncing back-and-forth between here and Indiana (which is EST), and forgot about the time zones. We will be offline TOMORROW, Tuesday, from 12-1 PM, in honor of Chef McCloud. Hopefully people realize the obvious: The important symbolism in being down for one hour during when people often eat lunch, is that there are NO posts during that time period on donrockwell.com - it represents the loss of a treasured member via the absence of the only reason we exist: Fifty years from now, there will have been no posts made on Tuesday, Mar, 7, 2017, between the hours of 12 and 1 PM - normally prime-time hours for this community - because Aaron McCloud is gone, and there is a void that has taken his place.

Lori Gardner Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 very sad, indeed. I was fortunate to meet Chef McCloud a few times during his tenure at Cedar. He was a talented chef, but also an extremely nice person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
