Good People

I’m like a solider when it comes to gut reaction. Literally. My ability to predict the next move and act on instinct was probably one of the largest factors in my past athleticism … most likely compensating for the fact that I’m an absolute klutz. But, none the less, this skill had come in hand time and time again, and is now helping me pick my future job.

When I meet someone I can tell almost instantaneously if I’m going to get along with them. It works for friends, teachers, bosses, and boyfriends. Stop, pass go, collect $200. Or don’t collect $200. I know. Harsh, brutal, but true, I won’t pretend to be anyone’s friend if I’m not.

Chemistry isn’t everything, but for me, and for a kitchen, it’s about 90% of the battle. That’s why when I first met my boss Kimerbly Belle and Erin Fritch of The Dinner Belle, I knew I was meant to work for and with them.

So giving credit where credit is due, these two make catering seem fashionable, fun, beautiful, and of course delicious. Tonight I’m heading uptown to help them cater at the Park Avenue Armory.
