Us and Them Part 2 (file under inherently different)

Us and Them Part 2 (file under inherently different)

I had some more thoughts on the subject and have been lucky enough this evening to find myself at home before an ungodly hour (by the way as a side note can there really be anything such as an ungodly hour… but I digress).

Us, we are the ones that celebrate holidays, birthdays and other significant events on days other than those. We are the ones that wake up early and go to bed late. We are the ones that push through our pain, our fears or our discontent. We are the ones, US, that make sure that you enjoy your meal, your celebration or your event. We are the ones that beat up on each other in fits of verbal diarrhea, hate each other one moment and love each other the next. We are the ones that work through our differences. We are the ones that can be at each others throats in service and buying each other a beer when we leave the kitchen. We are the ones that society cast off, the ones that could not, did not, would not fit anywhere until we came to find a home in the most unlikely of places, with the most unlikely of people as brothers and sisters in arms (or knives as the case were). We are the ones, US, that struggle to do what we love. And love the struggle. Thrive on it in fact. Us.

We are the unthought about, the un thanked, the over worked and under paid. BUT, would any of us trade it for anything in the world.

A RESOUNDING NO!

At any rate, I am going to pound out another couple of posts right now.

John Walter once wrote; “Get to know the Chef and you will start to enjoy dining out even more.” Very TRUE!

Are you dreaming big and inspired?

A la prochaine
