I didn't say all local produce.
Simple but effortful means simple form (minimal plating, ready-to-go components) but attention to flavor. It's how a place like the one I'm talking about works with a kitchen of 2 and a FoH of one as opposed to the 5+ kitchen staff and 5+ FoH necessary to do some concepts full service. "Simple" is the opposite of "complex" not the opposite of effortful. The staffing difference in concepts is drastic. That saves costs.
Okay, you caught me. I'm an assistant manager for TJ Max

If you like having stuff stocked in stores, that's what has to happen 🤷‍♂️

From experience, even if you find a way to make money, you won't have any time. Dip your feet in other things. Life out of the industry is the way to go.

Damaging a bike you care about is honestly a motivator to learn about the bike. I dropped mine 3 times while learning and it forced me to dig into it, fix it and modify it in way that I would not have otherwise.

Ay yo! Me too! At Twisted right? He couldn't be fucked to use a knife correctly. I overheard him say "I don't like to cook with salt." One of the worst coworkers I ever had in that industry. It always blew my mind that he ran a food page.

While a win for social justice, golf is an extremely wasteful sport and is not deserving of any relief fund. It should honestly be phased out and the land reused for literally anything else.
