Oh this hit me right in the feels! I’m crying with laughter, sadness and that mix of truth, hope and despair. We have been having these same discussions, my husband and I, on how to get smarter in our business - you know, track food costs, limit waste, price appropriately, don’t buy ALL of the Burgundy. And then two nights ago we ate the leftover scallops I shucked as a whole decadent plate of crudo, rather than freeze them for future use. We ate 2 dozen amazing local oysters after service because we miscalculated how many we’d sell 2 weeks ago. And so we keep saying let’s be smart and like you, instead we keep living with the gifts of this season, grateful for the abundance and to our future winter selves for their tenacity and never ending affection for our summer glee.
