In Dallas, virtually every chef, line cook, prep hand, server, bistro owner, dishwasher, or linen guy knows Petey Feng. He’s the quiet backbone of this city’s kitchens — the guy who shows up early, stays late, and somehow still finds time to help the next generation coming up behind him.
Petey never asks for anything. Ever. He works, pays his taxes, treats everyone with respect, and keeps pushing to become a better chef and a better human. There’s an entire web of people in this city who’ve trained with him, learned from him, or leaned on him during tough services.
I’m not the type to post stuff like this, but I will for Petey.
He’s currently in detention and has a hearing in January. He’s asked for character letters from anyone he’s worked with — and after doing the research, yes, these letters can genuinely help his case.
If you knew him, worked with him, staged with him, shared a kitchen with him, or were just impacted by him in any way, please take a few minutes to write something. If you’re slammed with work and can’t mail it, DM it to me and I’ll handle printing and shipping.
Petey’s done a lot for others in this city. A small letter is the least we can do in return.
