Out of all the regulars we have that kind of drive me crazy, there's one in particular that I really, really enjoy.

He comes in once a week, sits down, drinks a whole bottle of wine to himself, takes two home with him to go. Sometimes he has a bowl of whatever our soup of the day is. What I love about him is that he's a forager and a mushroom hunter and every time he comes in he brings our restaurant bunch of mushrooms or whatever kind of goodies he's foraged to use which is fucking awesome and we always end up nerding out about in foraging and mushroom hunting.  

 That's what Oregon is known for. Highly intelligent eccentric people. They have great Indians (reservations), Spanish (Mexicans), and Japanese people. The culture is so rich and diverse. 

 sounds like a cool dude 🙂 

 Definitely better than the people who ask me about sports, even after a year of working here. Seems like every other week I'm always telling someone I have no interest in sports.  

 for a while, i worked in a 40k a year membership fee country club. i understand monotonous conversations 😂
but the monthly food budget for the kitchen was unreal! 

 Sounds like a Buddy of mine
