  2. As a lesson to Restaurants. When you try to cater for the “in crowd” at inception, remember how fickle they are. Try to understand that they will not pay your bills on a rainy Tuesday evening. Focus on the quality of your food and not obssess about having pretty bottoms on seats on a friday night. In addition having an Ice cold ‘Hostess’ on your door behaving as though you are entering a nightclub, does not encourage people that have come to eat feel welcome. I knew that it would only be a matter of time……………

  3. Hey Lee Cleary,
    Do you realize your comment makes you sound like a douche bag?

  4. As a fellow retaurateur in yaletown i want to wish you good luck in your future endeavors. we will miss you as a neighbour and will definitely miss your famous happy hour!

Reverence, Respect, and Realization: What The Acorn Taught Me

At 21 years old, I'm still just a kid and relatively new to working in restaurants, but I grew up umbilically tied to the hospitality industry. My father was a food writer, and my mother is a photographer. Their careers meant that most of my early years were spent in kitchens and dining rooms instead of on playgrounds and soccer fields; consequently, I learned my table manners before I could count past one hundred.
