Biography Food is like music, and Will knew that when he stepped into the restaurant business. Will loved food, and American classics were always a favorite. He loved the feelings and emotions some of this food invoked in him. Serving unique American dishes was one way to connect his love for music and food on a plate. Customers who would later come into his restaurant could instantly link classic American music stars to the food on their plates. This was a thought well appreciated by the diners. Even more was that Will researched old and deep-rooted foods in American history, added his spin, and gave the customer a piece of history on the plate. However, his career did not start in the food industry, but after working as a waiter in a couple of local and renowned All-American restaurants, he went back to culinary school to perfect his skills in plating dishes to aesthetically please the customers as they listened to music from back in the days. Customers came to his restaurant not because he was a good cook, but to learn the American story behind the meals. Today, Will has ventured into other food terrains, including serving original cocktails that pair incredibly well with steak and others. He has a restaurant and is making a difference in the lives of his customers.

Thank you

Did you like my book? I pondered it severely before releasing this book. Although the response has been overwhelming, it is always pleasing to see, read or hear a new comment. Thank you for reading this. And I would love to hear your honest opinion about it. Furthermore, many people are searching for a unique book, and your feedback will help me gather the right books for my reading audience. Thanks! Will Cook
