Summary

I just love making people happy by serving them a good meal with efficient and polite service. I fancy myself a chef, me and my brother recently started our own private catering company called Davis Brothers Dining. That being said I am a people person and love interacting with the customers. Back of house, kitchen, Front of house, doesn't matter to me. I just love the restaurant industry and being around food and will alway expect perfection from the product being given to the customer.
