Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful.

The obvious things I’m grateful for: my mom and sisters, Michael, Brisket, the Pickled Hens, my extraordinary job, my kickass staff and you, the people that fill our seats and our hearts every day.

I think though, that I am most grateful for my ability to find joy. I’m not sure who taught me that, maybe my dad… he was funny, a prankster and was always surrounded by friends and really seemed to enjoy and love my mom and us girls. Simple things seemed to make him happy… blue skies, cold beer, sitting by the water, laughing with his buddies, a good game on the TV, a home cooked meal. Or maybe it was because I lost him at such a young age that I appreciate the small things and let the “little stuff” go. Either way I’m grateful for the joy I find every day.​

As a restauranteur I now have the ability to help give joy to others. To recognize someone’s hard work and the sacrifices they make. Sometimes it is just a sincere thank you, a bottle of wine to take home and enjoy, a raise, helping someone with a task, a compassionate ear or a little “getaway”. Honestly, this has been the most rewarding part of my new role here at the Bistro. As long as business is good here, I can continue to do these special treats for the staff. So, thank you for supporting us, coming in every week, spending your hard-earned money here. I hope we not only give you a great meal but that we add joy to your day as well.
