It's Good Friday. 🤔
…Good?
Listen. I'm a Chinese restaurant owner.
Nobody briefed me on this.
I've been in this kitchen all my life and I still don't understand why it's called GOOD Friday.
I asked my staff. They shrugged. 🤷
I checked the fortune cookies. Nothing. 🥠
BUT —
Every Friday people come in hungry and THAT I understand perfectly.
So I just focused on making sure the FOOD is GOOD. 🥢
