Fearless in running her restaurant how it makes sense to her. And what makes sense to her? It is that YOU are treated with appreciation. It’s a pretty good way of life in this little red house we all know as Epi’s A Basque Restaurant. Happy Birthday Chris❤️❤️🎉🎂🎈

Just for fun I'm posting this video from Saturday night. Erik had a full grill of meat he was managing. By the time I got my phone he was almost done. Almost 19 years later, I am still impressed on HOW they actually pull it off. Every. Single. Time. I guarantee you the very last order of the night is just as impressive as the first order of the night. Wow❤️

Chris has a message for you

Meanwhile--back in the Office where great things happen
