Off The Grid

    It's been awhile and I know I've been off the grid, but I have remained loyal to the F&B life. The jobs may have changed but the colorful employees and guests still make for a great story. The F&B community is by far the most resilient group. But I've gotta say, the pandemic has taken it's toll on us. We've lost a lot of our world wide family. You cant turn on the TV or radio without hearing "stay out of restaurants". We all need to be creative and flexible to get through this crap and we will. We are ten months in and there is light at the end of the tunnel.  Thank God the human psyche needs that interaction to be treated nice, to laugh, to cry, to be surprised and yes, to bitch. Without us homicides go up, but with us, we just wish they would. Don't ever underestimate the importance of our industry, the human race could not survive without us. We deal with all kinds of emotion sand situations from both our team and or our guests. There are times we want to hug and other times we want to stick a fork into someone's neck. I know that some of you that read this blog aren't in the industry and think you can relate, but the truth is in your industry, you don't always have a fork handy. You all continue to do what you do, You all have stories to tell and I want to hear them all. Thanks for your loyalty and patients
