After reading a book about a Chef, I was inspired to keep a record of our story. My husband and I own a restaurant in upstate NY. He is the chef and I help run the restaurant. We have 2 small children and things can get crazy at times. But it's fun and I wouldn't change it for the world.
We are just ending our second year of having the restaurant. We are also just ending the busy season. The winters in upstate ny can be tough and when you have your own business supporting a family it can be even tougher. But we got through it last year and we think this year we have some more of an idea how to do it. We're also working harder on our catering business.
We recently got a very good Zagat review and hopefully people see that and will come and visit us for dinner! Having a restaurant with 2 kids can be crazy, we are often at the restaurant with the kids, and I'm often trying to get work done with the kids around. Telling them to stop touching the salt shakers and stop making their own "concoctions" with things they find.
It's a fun time.
I have a lot going on besides the restaurant, I work for a jewelry line part time, I'm on the board of the local community center, we also get very involved in local food events, and I'm involved in the kids school and daycare. On any given day I have lots to do and because of that I've gotten forgetful. So I'm working on being more organized.
Today is my work day, I work half a day from home, then go pick up my daughter at 12:30 and attempt to do some work with her around at the restaurant. We're catering a large party this weekend and I have to make sure everything is good to go for that. Then it's to the bus stop at 3:15 to wait for my daughter, do some errands and then a school event tonight. Busy, busy as always...
