June is here, and that means PRIDE is here. I’m so proud of my restaurant team at The Norwegian.
We change our night menu every week. This week, we ran “The Color Menu.” In it, every dish celebrated a color; we included the whole rainbow. Creating and executing something like this was a huge challenge, but we are gluttons for a challenge and had a great response from our community. They seemed to really understand our messaging: it's healthy for people to have diversity in their lives in more ways than one.
And it felt nice to fight the good fight. Even just with food.
Reader, as I experience several of my already marginalized friends, businesses, and industries suffer because of the present leadership of this country, I feel helpless. There’s such a big fight ahead of us. But little fights make a difference too. Every way we can fight our helplessness…helps. This week, that meant being loud with a restaurant menu. It makes me look forward to the small fight this week too.
If you’ve been feeling futile lately, don’t forget to do the small stuff. I leave you with a picture of our dish representing the color orange. Crazy times call for creative measures, right? I’ll see you next Monday. -Em
