Quote
Hospitality and food service, is overwhelmingly personal. It is a noble profession to nourish and nurture, to be an intimate part of a moment, a proposal, a birthday, an anniversary, a reunion, or first date. It is a privilege and responsibility to do it well, to make every moment an experience.
