The above picture looks so serene. Tonight was the opposite; it was nuts. Things went rather smoothly, but yikes! Now, I'm back home, caught the season finale of Saturday Night Live. The show's branding highlights their 35th anniversary. That's a long time; it's also how long Jeffrey's Restaurant has been around. Puts things in perspective.

I enjoy so many facets about working there, but there's an additional benefit to my situation. Because of its history, regulars, and long time staff, I'm in a unique position of being a servant and a guest simultaneously. As sommelier, I serve the guests, and as a recent addition to the staff, I feel like a guest in their home. This motivates me to want to kill it more than you can imagine.

I also love the food that's coming out of the kitchen. It's a privledge to be part of what's going on there.
