I wasn’t a chef. In fact, I’d never even cooked before. But that didn’t stop me. Once I committed to this idea, I dove headfirst into learning. After my school day ended, I’d go home, open YouTube, and absorb as much as I could about cooking techniques, recipes, and the science behind flavors. Then, alongside our cook, I began experimenting in the kitchen.

At first, it was daunting. Cooking requires a blend of creativity, precision, and resilience. Dishes didn’t always turn out the way I hoped, but every attempt taught me something new. Over time, I found myself falling in love with the process. Cooking became more than a skill—it became a passion.

What began as a solution for off-season work slowly grew into something bigger. I realized that this venture would not only keep our cook employed year-round but also allow us to share the joy of good food with others. It was both a practical decision and a deeply fulfilling one.

The transition from running a school to running a restaurant wasn’t easy, but the principles of leadership, hard work, and constant learning remained the same. And as I look back on this journey, I’m reminded of how the most unexpected decisions often lead to the most rewarding experiences.

To those who have supported us and dined with us—thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Your smiles, feedback, and love for our food inspire us to keep striving for excellence every single day.
