But it is wise to remember that every diner is a critic but on a slow burn compared to the ones with the column inches.

Thanks for reminding me not to be one of the people I don't want to work with. Sadly, I needed that talk.<BR/><BR/>And please give us a heads up if you guys do Mission Street Food.

GREAT POST! <BR/><BR/>I'm at my corporate conference in Atlanta, and after listening to campy bulls*it all afternoon, it's good to hear something straight from the gut, with no frills or ad libs. I listened to these conservative, over-the-hill, under-the-table snots from corporate rant on and on trying to pump us up with crap we've been hearing for years, when all I really want to hear is, "Hey! You guys work your asses off... I'm not going to tell you it's going to get easier, but if it doesn't, we're going to throw a rope around you and ride it out." But what did I get,"Oh yeah, everything's great. Life is wonderful. We're the fucking Cleavers."<BR/><BR/>Anyway, great perspective. I appreciate a staight shooter, seriously. This was a great pick-me-up!!!! <BR/><BR/>Later dude-<BR/>SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429074991314349493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4816829458403939488.post-19351821928149692202009-03-02T19:32:00.000-08:002009-03-02T19:32:00.000-08:00i love your blog...avid follower...please follow m...i love your blog...avid follower...please follow mine...sunday qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14652601519399249641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4816829458403939488.post-45932935743478268282009-03-02T16:53:00.000-08:002009-03-02T16:53:00.000-08:00"if we can smell your perfume in our kitchen, you ..."if we can smell your perfume in our kitchen, you might be wearing too much" -my chef bitches about this on a regular basis, i hate that we have an open kitchen<BR/><BR/>"you should really see our new dance move. everyone puts their own little touch on it" -Oh yeah, we've been busting out some stellar amateur breakdancing moves lately.<BR/><BR/>And on the subject of the spacepen- there was a girl in culinary school who had one and told me about the damn thing EVERY day.Brilynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14417842674245229914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4816829458403939488.post-82094676613095123962009-02-28T13:23:00.000-08:002009-02-28T13:23:00.000-08:00I really like what you're saying here.And I really...I really like what you're saying here.<BR/><BR/>And I really appreciate the link to my post.<BR/><BR/>Thank you very, very much.<BR/><BR/>Michael ProcopioMichael Procopiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15957071567994709953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4816829458403939488.post-42878073931777231832009-02-28T07:04:00.000-08:002009-02-28T07:04:00.000-08:00This is a talk everyone needs to get and sometimes...This is a talk everyone needs to get and sometimes receive.
