The hospitality industry is commonly divided between the dining room and the kitchen. The dining room is considered "front of house." This is dedicated to the people I worked with over the years and the side of the industry that I have identified with. The painting depicts the tools of the trade such as cocktail shakers, check presenters, and bar spoons.

FOH(Front of House)

“Back of House” is the other side of the coin to “Front of House.” This branch of the industry consists of the prep cooks, pastry chefs, line cooks, sous chefs, and many others that stay behind the scenes to cook your meal for you. One of the most striking memories I have is when I witnessed a line of cooks with scars, burns, cuts, and blisters on their arms still performing their duties with amazing focus. Sacrifice is something every person makes when working in the hospitality industry as long as there is another double to work, a late-night inventory to count, the holidays with family and friends to miss, or a new scar on your thumb. That is the life of the back of house staff.
