I own and run a busy restaurant and in the past two years have become disillusioned with the work ethic of todays youth. I would much rather hire workers over 40 than under 20. Somewhere along the line we as parents have not ingrained in our children the same work ethics as the generation had before them.

I'm a Chef/Owner of a Restaurant and Catering company in Bend Oregon and I specialize in 'meat' especially wild game. On my menu you will see Tibetan Yak, Bison, Elk, Antelope, Lamb, Beef, Etc. But more importantly, 100% of my meat is ranched within the confines of Oregon. In fact I frequently visit the ranchers and develope a personal relationship with them. Why is this important? I have found that my customers appreciate supporting the local economy and take pride in knowng they are eating an animal that hasn't been raised in a stock yard thousands of miles away. The products i buy locally are vastly superior than any imported meat product. Oregonians have always been trend setters and now we are seeing that on a culinary level.
