Carolyn, thanks so much for posting that story. It was truly fascinating. I can definitely see how satisfying it would be to not only turn people on to new and different varieties (to them) and have the opportunity to talk about them and their histories, origins and just their opinion on the different flavors. And chefs can be great customers from what I have been reading, and appreciative in their own right, but like you mentioned ...find one with an attitude and fa' get about it! That is one of the reasons I love working for myself. I am never disrespectful but if somebody is a jerk there is no boss over me telling me I have to take it! And working in the corporate world for two decades I had more than my share of 'grin and bear it' moments!

Thanks again for sharing and when you have the time please post some more of your stories and experiences!


Duane
