-When i was an intern in a retail, i had to fight against the urge to store the shelves during my own shopping sessions.

      37 years in the industry, I knew when I was a young cook I wouldn’t make jack shit for pay, so I always looked at places where I could enjoy life: N. Florida, Buenos Aires, Bermuda, Bonaire, Seattle, Los Angeles (ok, that was for straight up pay…never again!) now Spain. Hard work, a good partner, and dumb luck.

        Ah! I have had the rare opportunity to chef in Barcelona, and it played a major part in my near immediate desire to stay indefinitely… but I chose the “wiser”, legally sound route of returning to the US to sort out visa details, etc. That was '05, but I’ve always dreamed of moving back. 🥲🥰
