The Misfits

We are not everyday people, we band of brothers in the kitchens across America, a melting pot of nations from the barrios of Eastern Europe to the Latin Americans of Peru, Guatemala and Mexico, toiling in the hot steamy atmosphere that clangs with pots and pans, clatters with dishes and sings with the voices of a team that somehow communicates despite their linguistic differences. I learned Spanish from working in Notre Dame de Namur university Cafe but that was not good enough to work in a reastaurant where a Mexican dialect was commonly used and even the Ecuadrean dishwasher couldn't understand a word that was said.
