Drinking one for an unsung great. Rest well, cook.

Mike corrected me a lot at the Olive Branch Cafe in the American Can Company. He was the first guy to put up with my bullshit fourteen years ago and teach me how to run a kitchen. I can't speak for everyone in this sub because I moved away years ago.

But, I wouldn't have my ethic. I wouldn't have my attitude. Mike, ya taught me how to sling pies, keep a book, and be calm. Fuck a show, fuck a story, be on time, and keep cooking.

Next time, when I'm home, I'll take a shot of Jager for ya at the Holy Ground. Just because I know ya hated that shit.
