Well Michael this video is very nice, we worked together at the doubletree, I was the banquet captain (William) and I still tell everyone that you were the best chef I have ever worked with, your food was out of this world. Congratulations on all your success. Maybe one day I will come back to the states and visit your restaurant, I am sure it will be terrific.

Mike's mom, was my mom's boss while working at Bells in Williamsville. Mike and I hung out on occasion. We went to Crystal Beach and rode the Comet Rollercoaster together. I'm glad to see he is living his dream.
