How We Reset

or at least try to.

In a world where we are so connected, it can feel impossible to turn off. ESPECIALLY, when the business is open daily. You could say it’s called coping, but we like to phrase the time we truly take to disconnect as our reset.

In this post we’re opening up about how we center our selves and press reset.

From Tyler,

What do you do to rest or reset? Its a tricky thing when what you do for a living bleeds into all things you enjoy personally. We joke we only build places we want to go to ourselves. There is however a very harsh reality that we will probably never be able to truly enjoy any of the places we play a part of operating. A lot of time after cooking all week for others, or right now especially focusing on build outs, we actually find ourselves wanting to do the same thing as home. Ive drawn about 4 renditions of our future chicken coop shed greenhouse and many times the “weekend” turns into recipe testing or scratching an unfulfilled craving.

As I’ve mentioned before, one of the vary reasons we embarked on starting our own business was to break a lot of industry norms. Everyone knows the story of overworked underpaid cook. Late hours and long days. During culinary school we were told often and directly by many chefs, that in order to succeed you had to sacrifice and commit entirely. Sacrifice life’s comforts. Weekends, holidays, business hours, family, relationships, etc. and for a LONG time and in many cases still that is what it takes to make it.
