My observation of Chef Zach and Chef Jonathan... they were always intensely focused except at the end of service saying thanks for coming and sharing a beer by Sweetwater/Ryan Hidinger - Second Helping IPA.

Chef Zach and Jonathan were always intensely focused on making sure every plate went out right. Highly recommend a dinner at the bar to see how the two work; it’s an impressive sight.
