"Cork makes everyone feel at home, takes a lot of pride in his food, he always wants to cook for people. Anytime we have a new employee, he makes a point to talk to them and break them out of their shell. He’s a big part of the restaurant. One of the hardest workers we have, he never calls off, never complains, you have to drag him out of here. Cork’s everyones favorite coworker. Literally the model employee!"
