Serving Tables, Missing Dad: Father’s Day Feels

Father’s Day in the restaurant world is wild—packed tables, endless orders, and everyone’s got their dad in tow. Last year was my first time working the holiday after losing mine. I thought I could handle it. Spoiler: I absolutely could not. Between delivering steaks and seeing all those family hugs, I was barely holding it together. At one point, I dropped a tray because my hands were shaking so much. A regular noticed and just gave me a knowing nod. Later, my manager slid me a free dessert and whispered, “Dead dad club, huh? We survive.” It’s weird, but there’s comfort in the chaos. Food brings people together—even if it’s bittersweet. So, here’s to everyone serving up smiles while missing someone at their own table. Happy ‘dead dad club’ day. You’re not alone. #FathersDay #RestaurantLife #GriefAndFood #DeadDadClub #FoodBringsUsTogether #Food #Foodie

I Got Free Meals For Weeks By Crashing Different Funerals

A few years ago I was completely broke and trying to find a job. I was living on ramen and cheap pasta and I was getting pretty desperate. I had this totally wild idea. I realized that if you check the local paper or church bulletin there is a funeral almost every day and with funerals there is always a reception afterward with food. My plan was simple. I would put on a button-up shirt show up a little late and just quietly slip into the crowd. I found that nobody questions the quiet person in the corner who takes a plate and looks a little sad. I had amazing food. We are talking roast beef sliders pasta salad and even lemon squares. It was so much better than what I could actually afford to eat. This whole thing worked for three straight weeks. Free meals multiple times a week. I even started to recognize some of the same funeral directors. One day a director gave me this really weird look and I knew my luck had run out. I finally stopped and went back to buying my own groceries. But yeah for almost a month I survived just by being the random mourner in the back loading up on sandwiches that were meant for the grieving. #Survival #LifeHack #BrokeLife #Humor #Grief #FunnyStory #Confessions #FreeFood #Funeral #Food #Foodie

From Stress to Sips: My Iced Tea Ritual

Ever have one of those days where everything feels overwhelming? That was me last week, until I stumbled upon my new favorite ritual: making a glass of iced tea. Inspired by the Long Island Iced Tea Corporation, I decided to experiment with flavors from around the world—jasmine from China, mint from Morocco, and even a dash of lemon from Sicily. Each sip felt like a mini-vacation, melting away my stress and connecting me to distant places. What surprised me most was how this simple drink became a bridge between cultures and memories. My grandma used to brew sweet tea in the summer, and now, with every glass, I feel a little closer to her and to people everywhere who cherish this timeless beverage. So next time life gets heavy, grab some ice, your favorite tea, and let yourself travel—one refreshing sip at a time. #IcedTea #GlobalFlavors #TeaLovers #Foodie #ChillVibes #Food #Cooking

How My Grandma’s Grilled Cheese Changed My Life

Growing up, I thought grilled cheese was just bread and cheese, toasted until golden. But one rainy afternoon, my grandma invited me into her tiny kitchen and showed me her secret: she added a thin layer of tangy kimchi and a sprinkle of black pepper before grilling. The result? A sandwich that was crispy, gooey, spicy, and comforting all at once. Now, whenever I’m feeling homesick or need a pick-me-up, I recreate her recipe. Sometimes I swap in caramelized onions, or a dash of truffle oil, or even a handful of fresh herbs from my balcony garden. Each time, it’s a new adventure. What really takes a grilled cheese to the next level isn’t just the ingredients—it’s the memories and love you fold between the slices. Food is more than taste; it’s nostalgia, creativity, and connection. What’s your secret ingredient? #FoodMemories #GrilledCheese #ComfortFood #Foodie #RecipeInspiration #Food

Quick update on the Whole Foods ice cream sale: It's now extended until July 15th! Pro-tip: Freezers empty out fast, but they have tons in the back. If you don't see your flavor, ask an employee! They might be able to grab it for you. Based on years of dedicated "research," here’s my quick guide to what's worth buying. 1️⃣Alec‘s Ice Cream: 🔥 Matcha Chocolate Chip: God-tier. The best matcha ice cream, period. ✔️ Tahitian Vanilla: Tastes like a classic pudding pop. A must-buy. 🤔 Maple Cardamom: Good, but very nutty. 👀 Pistachio Crunch: Still haven't found this one but heard it's amazing. 2️⃣Van Leeuwen: ✔️ Honeycomb: Super sweet, but I love it. The pint is way better than the bar. ✔️ London Fog / Jasmine Tea (bars): Both are fantastic. Definitely grab these. ❌ Earl Grey Tea: Tasted too artificial for me. A pass. 3️⃣Jeni‘s Splendid Ice Creams: 🔥 Frosé Sorbet: A non-negotiable must-buy. It's like a super refreshing tart berry popsicle. ✔️ Milk-iest Chocolate: Silky smooth, but can be overly sweet. 👀 Cold Brew w/ Coconut Cream: The one that got away! Heard it's like a coconut latte. 4️⃣Quick Takes on Others: • Talenti: The Pacific Coast Pistachio (finally, a good salty one!) and the Mango/Raspberry sorbets are winners. • Ben & Jerry's: The Tonight Dough is complex and surprisingly not too sweet. • Dolcezza: Not for me, personally. Everyone go to Whole Foods right now!!! Run, don't walk! 🏃‍♀️ #WholeFoods #IceCream #GroceryHaul #Foodie
