Happenings

Humans of Chestnut – Mary Sheley

February 20, 2019

I’m Mary Sheley, the Lead Host for Chestnut! I go by Sheley…(pictured center with ginger hair and green shirt)

How long have you worked for Chestnut? I’ve been at Chestnut for a year and a half.

What’s the best meal you’ve had at Chestnut? When we had smoked trout ravioli, I think I ate it 5 times in one week.

What kitchen tool could you not live without? A timer because I’m always watching tv and doing homework at the same time.

If you could only have one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Probably chicken wings. I eat them a lot and like that you can make them so many different ways.

What’s the worst meal you’ve ever had? I went to a pizza place once and wound up in the hospital because of food poisoning from a salad there. I was so weak from being sick that I passed out and got a concussion and busted my chin open.

What’s your favorite food movie? There’s so many good ones to choose from, but I have to pick The Trip. I love British humor so I always crack up.

What is the funniest thing that has happened to you recently? My cat is learning to howl from my dog.

What’s the last thing you watched on TV and why did you choose to watch it? Criminal Minds because I’m addicted to crime shows.

How do you spend your time outside of work? I’m in school at AB Tech and go to workout dance classes with my roommate.

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