From the Weeds

Restaurant work's ephemeral nature tends to draw together unique collections of individuals who are simultaneously nurturing other passions.  These creative service workers draw upon the energy, comradery, quick cash, and odd hours to forward the other, often hidden, sides of their lives.  From the Weeds, drawn from a hospitality colloquialism for an intensely busy period, is an on-going, intimate portrait series documenting the "other lives" of one such group.
