Did I do enough to feel I did all I could during the emergency?How could our kitchen move on?.
I think for every cook, the work-life balance swings front and center at some point.In an attempt to justify our sacrifices, we reconcile contentment with our training and accomplishments.Sometimes the relentless pursuit of our own culinary education doesn’t make sense to the people around us.
I had come to terms with my own sacrifices, but now I was being confronted with my role in the employees under me.. Luckily, before I got too deep into the abyss of "what if’s," we were notified that Eric awoke from his coma and that he was improving each day.He actually was getting restless after a couple weeks in the hospital and itching to get back to the grind of the kitchen.
He had surgery to install a defibrillator into the side of his chest and came back into our lives and the Mister Jiu’s kitchen as lively as ever.
His recovery is the most miraculous event I have ever witnessed."Please don't overstay.
With staffing issues and occupancy caps, each table is more important than ever, and timing is everything.Eat, enjoy, get out.".
