Yesterday wasn't about catering. It was about taking care of a friend.
Dave has been one of my best friends for a long time, and yesterday he said goodbye to his wife after she lost her battle with cancer. When I was asked to cook for her celebration of life, there was never a question. You show up for the people you love.
I'm grateful I had the chance to do something for Dave and his family during such a difficult time. Sometimes a meal can't fix anything, but I hope it brings a little comfort and lets people focus on being together.
I'm also thankful for the team that stood beside me yesterday. They weren't just there to workâthey were there because they care. That's what makes this industry special. We spend so much time together that somewhere along the way, your coworkers become family.
Yesterday was a hard day, but it reminded me how important it is to show up for each other.
Love you, brother. We're all here for you. â¤ď¸
