SHOUT OUTS:

From the team:

From Hannah Evans (Vibrant Cities, 7/31):

• Seth Prigg is a garnish master and even re-plattered and garnished the remaining pork that was sent in tin foil trays.
• Shout out to Anna Bornstein for handling rowdy guests and stepping in where needed

From Malcolm (Lambda Legal, 8/1): Isabella Todd, for jumping into the kitchen and making things happen.

From Seth Prigg (Nelson/Miczek, 8/2) Stephanie Lau is amazing! Great attitude, willing to help, so nice. She is a rockstar!

From Joe Staiano (Slalom Day 2, 8/3): Susan Deng.. House Team. This weekend I worked a three day event for the same family. Came in earlier today to load additional things that I would need. A few of those things were additional platters and bowls… And without blinking an eye Susan jumped on it , stopped what she was doing , and carefully wrapped me up some platters and bowls so that we can do our load out. Simple gesture but it is those small responsive things that make a big difference. Thank you Susan… And thank you to the entire house team who performs miracles on a daily basis. I love you all. We love you all.

From Bryan (Andrewartha/Korb, 8/3): Shoutout to Kimberly Jackson and Ly Vann. Even though they had to leave early they gave %110 all day. Very impressed.

From Tony Alcantara (Schocken, 8/3):

• Monica Argana: Worked tirelessly and professional from start to finish. She demonstrated a great deal of strength, vast knowledge, professionalism and charm. She was my right-hand person the whole time, even taking on training Hang. Monica also took on assisting me with loading the fun at the very end.
• Christian Hahn: Exceptional bartender who hand crafted a couple of specialty drinks. Christian was also very professional and very engaging to the guests. I was very pleased with the drinks Christian created and with the positive and happy outcomes from all the guests.
• Emily Schiller: Rock Star Event Manager who provide a great deal of much needed support at the very beginning setting up tables and folding napkins and simply for moral support with the challenges we faced and victory we won! Thanks, Emily!

From Tony Alcantara (Facebook, 8/4):

• Caleb LaBerge who was very helpful from the very get go. He provided support in finding exactly which Facebook to which to arrive and everything else that went along with the registration system once we got to the lobby. Caleb was very engaging with the guests and showed a initiative from start to finish.
• Kudos to Chef Michael Chase for a wonderful job with the Mac and Cheese, which was a huge hit. He was also very engaging and would always initiate a "hi, how are you?' and "what's your name?" Chef Mike looked like he was really having a blast with both cooking and serving up the Mac and Cheese and getting into it with the music on the roof top!

From Joe Staiano (Slalom, 8/4): Shout to all staff who worked over the last three days of this special sea fair party, Sydney Gladu, Trifon Papahronis, Natalie Leinbach, Vincent Smoot, and Emily Hardwick.

From Brideen Baker (8/5): Unsung Heroes: The middle kitchen is full of hardworking characters who keep their heads down and push through these busy times with tremendous results. I’m talking about: Harold, Maggie, Hai Le, And Jon. Their work is beautiful, consistent, and delicious. How many skewers, fruit platters, sandwiches, deviled eggs, spring rolls and crudité have we sold over the years? A LOT!

They work hard on these items and so much more…. Much gratitude to them!

"HI Emily,
You had a great crew out at the house on Saturday. They worked hard and always pleasant when asked to do something. Tony especially did not let up working every minute, and the others did well also.
The food was wonderful. All the guests were raving about the tasty spread and had a great time at the party. The day was a total success. I think the bartender did well and I was pleased that everyone came and left in an Uber.
We enjoyed leftovers today, and Joe will take the rest to the office for everyone’s lunch.
I liked the colors and the way the tables looked. Many thanks for organizing the party so well.
Yours, Judy"
Schocken (8/3)

"Hi Hanna,

Thank you for helping us arrange everything and our guests love the event space! The staff was very helpful and food was good. I think the chicken sliders was the winner based on feedback from guests.  Hopefully more events to come as we develop in Capitol Hill area!

Thanks! Phil Lam"
