Hello,
Many of you are probably wondering why I am requesting donations. I figured that I would explain myself here. I am asking for donations for 2 things.
- I need assistance with paying for the domain and hosting of this site.
- Any donations that might happen to be left over at the end of the month will be transferred to a separate account to go towards a restaurant or catering business.
You read that correctly. My restaurant or catering business, I plan on trying to get things off the ground by 2020. The pension for my day job as a Doorman will be vested by Nov. 2019 and I plan on trying to open my get my business going by no later than fall of 2020.
If I open a restaurant, I already know what I plan on calling it. The concept will be no menu to read from. I will have a set price per person. The set price will include all appetizers, your choice of entrée, and dessert. For those that are curious, I am dedicating the restaurant to my grandmother. It will be called "Pina’s Italian Bistro".
If I decide on catering, I plan on starting out only in Manhattan, Queens, and Long Island. I may expand further, later on, however, I feel those are the best areas to start out with.
In closing, I just hope that everyone uses and enjoys my recipes and please if you can afford to do so, please make a donation. Thank you in advance and happy cooking.
Chef Michael
