This Week

This week 05-12-15 Service Included If you read my emails much you'll know I'm a restaurant fanatic.

The book is called "Service Included" She applied for the job before the restaurant opened and she tells the story about all of the things she had to learn, to be able to do the job. They took French lessons so they could pronounce the menu, they took wine less... Read More
