Our staff dresses up each year, and we buy dinner for kids until about 7 or so. We always want to be a community, family run company. It means a lot to us.

Our son, Nate, will be a Blue Angel pilot. I'm very proud of myself for being able to find costume pieces that work, and as a non sewer, manage to get the patches on. Dan and I will be in Blue Angels T's and caps as his ground crew. We'll be testing out the costumes this week at the Epcot Food and Wine fest.

I always wanted to have the kitchen crew go out after service dressed up as characters from ALice in Wonderlnad. I want to be the Mad Hatter.

There is a chance, and if I do dress up, it will be as a chef.

well...I believe that staff at Vincent will try to dress up as politicians - it was the only way we could get Chef Joncarl to dress in costume. If this happens, I am going at former President of the Philippines Corazon Aquino.

Last year I was a witch. I am going to be a kitchen witch. It's a good fit.
