I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

An observation I made today.

My new restaurant is a staple in the Portland community.  We serve elevated, approachable comfort food.  

And yet.  

There are not a lot of kids dining with us.  

Occasionally, yes.

But not like my old restaurant.

One night at my old restaurant, there were 14 kids below the age of 6 seated having dinner.  It was chaos.  

One night, they were almost all seated in a single server’s section.  We referred to it as Garrett’s Day Care.  

Meanwhile, you’d think that a less expensive restaurant, serving more approachable food would be filled with children.

But alas, that is not the case.

I hope I didn’t just jinx myself.
