Happenings

Humans of Chestnut – Asa Kaylor

May 10, 2018

Name
Asa Kaylor

How long have you worked for Chestnut?
Almost two years.

What’s the best meal you’ve had at Chestnut?
The new lamb lollipops are exquisite.

What kitchen tool could you not live without?
A spatula with a knife attached.

If you could only have one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Roasted sweet potatoes and a pot roast. I have many childhood memories of coming home to the delicious smell of a hunk of meat slow roasting with a bunch of vegetables.

What’s the worst meal you’ve ever had?
The cafeteria food at school. Always disgusting!

What’s your favorite food movie? (example, Julie and Julia)
Food Inc. It made me a more conscious eater.

What is the funniest thing that has happened to you recently?
A drunk guy came to my house in an uber and told me it was his aunt’s house. So I had to explain to him that it wasn’t.

What’s the last thing you watched on TV and why did you choose to watch it?
Shameless. Highly recommended!!

Human(s) of Chestnut is a continuing blog piece we run each month about a staff member in our restaurant.
