It was a pleasure hosting them in the kitchen as they worked alongside Jr. Chef Elite member Megan (seen in the chef's jacket). Miss Leona is still on her 2-month whirlwind vacation so Everett returned as my 2nd in command. He's left cafe plan b to return to school full time and I hope to have him working with us sometime during summer break (if he's not teaching sailing again at the Sausalito Yacht Club).
