"Scurrilous food-related dramas loop endlessly in restaurant kitchens. Most diners are aware of that. But if you’ve actually ever worked in a restaurant kitchen, chances are you’ve spent countless hours trying to poke out the part of your mind’s eye that saw that one unspeakable thing happen with the burger meat and the black beans in the walk-in cooler...." - Jessica Gelt reviewing The Texas Cafe in the Los Angeles Times


I've had a multitude of life experiences in my 24 short years, but few have been as rough as my time working in a restaurant this past month. In attempting to keep myself afloat during my return to Michigan and while biding my time for Louisiana. I won't give you a deep, philosophical post on the importance of tipping or the value that people who take these under the table, back-breaking jobs play in our workforce and society.

But if you can tip your waiter, bartender, server, etc it would be a great idea.
