Happy Memorial Day Week-end! ✨
Honest rant from someone who works in luxury hospitality. 🎙️

I just got off live and I’m still fired up.

We talk a lot about spending money but not enough about spending it with class.

Someone left $25 on a $1,500 bill and had the audacity to justify it. And it broke something in me. Because I know what it takes to stand on that floor and give people an experience they’ll never forget.

Energy is currency. And the people in hospitality? They spend it freely on you.

And as today being Memorial Day, we honor those who served this country with everything they had. Let’s not forget the ones who serve every single day in restaurants, hotels, high tea rooms, and dining rooms across the world with grace, with skill, and with more heart than most will ever recognize.

I think the art of service and inner-standing it is something invaluable. And if someone holds this within themselves that's an asset to everyone.

Etiquette isn’t dead. But it’s being forgotten.
And I’m not staying quiet about it. 🥂

BUA Brunch! Thai flavors, ramen vibes, and tiki energy all in one place?? BUA Thai Ramen & Robata Grill did NOT miss. 🌺🍜
The menu is authentically Thai every dish felt intentional and full of flavor. The drinks? Executed beautifully. The presentation alone had me taking photos before I even took a bite. That tiki atmosphere hits different when the food actually matches the vibe.
If you’ve been looking for your next Sunday brunch spot, hold the pancakes & eggs Benedict... this is your sign. 🍽️
