Chef Jason words “opening up a restaurant in a pandemic was difficult but nothing in life comes easy”. Chef said that he is not competition with anyone, but is only trying to show the world how amazing and how much love he adds to his talent.
The owners maintain their life on top of running a restaurant by having a hardworking and loving family. The business has eight adult employees as well as three PHS student employees, who only work 2-3 hours a day.
