  • I was a waitress in high school, during and after college, and before getting my "real job" that paid less than what I was making as a server. I even met my husband when we worked in a restaurant together. You could say food service has always played a big part in my life. Those jobs taught me more than any schooling could in how to multi-task, work with others, be kind to strangers, survive in times of stress, and serve others needs. Restaurants to me, are essential. Last night we took the night off from at-home QT cooking and ordered pick-up online from our favorite Thai restaurant @kao_thai_slc . Ordering online was quick, pick up was slick and easy and brought out with gloves to the car. It was familiar, comforting, great quality, and FRIGGING DELICIOUS! Helping local businesses and restaurants survive and thrive is integral to all of us getting out of this successfully on the other side. So this week, take the night off and pick up dinner from a local eatery and give us all the break we need right now. Eat well and be well friends!
