Read MoreEmployee Spotlight, December: Mike Herr
Due to the demands of the job (say, closing the bar late, then arriving early the next day for set-up work), some Royale employees arrive to the occasional shift in less-than-full-freshness. But the balm that soothes any vexed spirit is a quick conversation with colleague Mike Herr. Even the most-faded flower stands tall after a quick exchange of pleasantries with our favorite Mike.

I get mine with goat cheese, artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers. It comes with lettuce, tomato and onion, too, so when all the toppings drip off onto the plate, it becomes a salad at the end.
You’ll want to read the whole piece, which also throws a nod to our (more-or-less) neighbor, Sandrina’s. You can fully read the piece here.
