Eli decided that he wanted a job and that he wanted it to be somewhere he could walk or bike to, since he can't drive yet. That gave him about three options within walking distance, and about a dozen more within biking distance. He called a few of the places, and they were either not hiring or not hiring 15-year-olds. But one place, 3Chefs (a Persian restaurant right by our house) seemed very interested. Eli went in for an interview, and the owner/chef flat-out told him that he was thrilled he was a white guy who spoke English because he didn't have any other employees who fit that description! He spent the first few weeks helping him update his menu, app, and website (I think he wanted native English eyes on all of those things), and then they taught him to work the register. It has been a great challenge, and Eli has really enjoyed it!
Jason and I had never been because we thought it was just takeout (and we like to dine in), but of course, we wanted to go once they hired our boy! Turns out they do have a few tables, and when the chef came out to meet us, he gifted us with another couple of platters of food (enough to take home and feed our whole family for dinner the next night)! It was delicious!
