Living in a Restaurant World Lends itself to Expensive Tastes.
I have worked in various fine-dining restaurants for the past ten years, which has been amazing, but during those ten years I have acquired tastes of those that correspond to the high-price restaurants that I work in.  I dedicate all of my energy to my job, and I love working in...
