In the back kitchen you'll find two boys scrubbing dishes. One loud mouthed and lanky; the other stout with broken English. Amongst soap suds and grime, clothed in long black aprons, these two teens share a bond stronger than mugs of ceramic. Though the mason jars may chip and hot dinner plates burn their fingers, minimum wage is the thing that keeps this quirky pair together. And they dance around the kitchen in those slip resistant sketchers balancing bowls, pots, and pans. Graceful as expert choreographers.
