It isn’t that there aren’t happy times in this restaurant life of ours, but good times are born from hard work and much effort. In this case, what constitutes “rare”, happy moments, is that a bunch of people were put together randomly, through divine providence. No egos, just growth and good spirited company.  I left some behind the scenes prerecording banter in this episode for a glimpse into how we have a great time with our podcast! Congratulations to my boys, Chef Johnathan and Chef Alex from team Walk-In Talk, for winning the 2022 Savor St. Pete food competition!! Special thanks to Tammy Gail for the opportunity!
