When I was going into high school, I wanted jeans from the GAP. Ya know the blue stone washed ones, from the mid-90’s?

I even think they had a button fly. I was obsessed with them and I wanted them so badly.

However, my mom was not on board with paying GAP prices, so she said if I wanted more expensive jeans than what we could find at Super K, I’d have to find a job and make up the difference.

So that I did. (In case you’ve never met me, I can be… shall we say… stubborn?)

Well, my mom actually found me the job at a local mom-and-pop restaurant in town. She happened to know the owner, who hired me as a server, and my dream of GAP jeans came true. Serving one small dish of cottage cheese at a time.

The restaurant was pretty small and mainly catered to the older crowd in town, hence the small dishes of cottage cheese, but I loved working there.

The staff was awesome and even though I was only 14, they didn’t treat me like a kid. Though I totally was.

Not only were the people amazing, they had some seriously delicious food, and weekly specials that would make the to-go phone line ring nonstop.

One of the fan favorites was Stuffed Pepper Soup, which back then seemed incredibly genius because this was pre-Pinterest days and most recipes came from cookbooks, not the internet.
