    I was homeless and living on the street or in my car. Being a Veteran of 2 wars it was just comforting to me. Then I met a Vietnamese woman that just accepted me. The dishes she cooks is amazing. I didn't realize food could have such flavor or comfort. I hope to one day eat in your restaurant. I am sorry about your friend Josh. I have lost many friends to suicide. It's never easy.

Hearing she was the winner kinda changed my perspective in life a bit that day, and since then I've always wanted to go to her restaurant. I'm damn sure once this pandemic thingy ends I'll go for sure.

    I wish Christine only the best of luck because opening a restaurant takes a lot of money and not to mention pacience because part of the expenses are the following:
    1. Employee's weekly wages less any taxes being withheld.
    2. Suppliers.
    3. Advertising
    (a) in yellow pages
    (b) brochures that one can take
    4. Accountant's fees.
    Please give me thumbs up if you enjoyed watching that Christine has opened her restaurant. ©®
