Just living the dream, flipping one patty at a time

Back to the OG days of slanging it in the kitchen. Type of stuff where you just get a good tune playing in your head and get it done.

It’s fun

Yes the restaurant industry is hard, but like many things, if you have the passion (and a little bit of delusion), those hard things are some of the best things in your life.

Stay Hungry!

Restaurants are hard. Long days, stress over the little things (MARGINS!), fluctuating staff, slow seasons, the list can go on and on.

Over the last half decade I have dedicated myself to this industry. From doing the dishes, flipping the burgers, filling in for the call outs..

and surrounding neighbors of UNR. It is a blessing to be back where my journey in Reno began doing something that I love. I am back in the dish pit for now and will be grateful for every dirty dish that is brought my way…

or no shows, and deep cleaning the hood. It sucks... but I love it. The people, the energy it brings, and building a place that people can create some of their best & lifelong memories.

The struggle is part of the promise. Don’t avoid the struggle. Don’t run from the problems.

In the problem area.

A business rule I live by:

Always promote. Never slander.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Next time you’re upset or anxious, ask yourself, “Is this going to matter in 10 years?”

My heart aches for Bronny James. Poor kid doesn’t belong in the NBA. He can’t quit. He didn’t ask for this. His dad created an impossible situation for him. He’s a Make-A-Wish kid in the NBA. I just hope his dads insatiable ego doesn’t ruin his love for this beautiful game
