JF

our owner

at Taste of Belgium,

Jean-Francois,

is the BEST.

He's the best kind of owner to work for:

one with HEART.

he's the atypical American Success Story:

began making waffles in Findlay Market years ago

was so enthusiastic about them

that they were a HUGE hit 

and now he owns a popular, up and coming, bistro in OTR.

He's FANTASTIC.

he's got his hands in to everything!

If the food needs to be expo-ed....he expos.

if tables need to be bussed....he busses.

If guests need to be chatted with....he chats.

He's the BEST.

and he never leaves an issue unknown.

so he texts me, 

when i close,

to just check in and make sure everything is a-okay.

the texts above are from us.

:D

i freaked him out and he called immediately.

"you are just kidding, right?" he says in a very flat tone.

Phil, the head chef, of course, is standing in front of me, flabbergasted and laughing.

I tell JF that I am indeed kidding, and that Phil thinks this is hilarious.

JF breaks out into a relieved laugh

cracks a few jokes

and thanks me for my work.

He's quite a swell guy, if i do say so myself. :D
