Sticking to my guns on veal paid off last night
A regular at our place asked for veal scallopini, which we stopped serving years ago. I know some farms don't treat the animals well, and that doesn't sit right with me. For a second, I thought about making an exception because he's a good customer. But I explained we use pork and chicken from local farms we trust. He got quiet and seemed upset, so I offered to make something special with lamb instead. He agreed, and we cooked a dish with herbs from our garden. After eating, he said it was the best meal he'd had in weeks. It felt like a win to keep our standards and still make him happy.

W move. The lamb with garden herbs sounds fire. Sticking to your guns on veal shows you stand by what you believe. It's cool how you turned a tough spot into a win for both your values and the customer. More places should have that kind of backbone. Glad it worked out.

My favorite cafe stopped using factory farm eggs, and their weekend brunch crowd doubled.

Bet the local farms they source from now are getting a boost too. Full circle for the community.
