Hi friends! Extending huge congrats to the nods for the James Beard Awards! A great group of Seattle folks are on the long list…support them! This attention brings all kinds of benefits…and a different sort of self imposed pressure. Remember to be kind and know that the restaurant business is hard; remind your local faves that they rock. And that - at the end of the day - they are all already winners…
Best of luck…we are rooting for all of you!
Jill and Shaun
