When you cook professionally for as many years as I have Holiday traditions inadvertently change from the normal gathering of friends and family to a frenzy of cooking delicious traditional food for the untold masses. I suppose subconsciously on some level I must have been missing this annual mayhem since the closing my last restaurant and the opening my Taco Dog Cart. I came to this conclusion, because I started out with an idea three days ago to prepare a Thanksgiving Sandwich for tomorrow night at the dog stand and ended up doing preparations to serve Thanksgiving dinner for well over a hundred people. I had a lot of fun doing it and my little son had great time helping me. However without a restaurant to sell it in I think I may have been a little over zealous!
That all said I will be serving up an amazing Thanksgiving sandwich as well as a Thanksgiving Platter at cart for Thanksgiving tomorrow night! So if you don't have plans for turkey come and see me in front of The Red Garter at the Taco Dog Stand and I will serve you up an unexpected Thanksgiving Dinner to Remember! See you there!,
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Cooking!

When I first thought of the idea to do a, Go Fund me campaign my motivation was clear. I needed to figure out a way to pay my bills support my child and maintain my business for a month without income. I had heard of GoFund me but didn't exactly know how it worked. Then I saw some friends doing it and said what the hell its worth a shot. So I wrote a happy little paragraph about a profession I happen to love, posted online, and pushed enter. To my surprise Ive had a few donations. From good friends, and family that wanted to help me out. I felt Happy and grateful. Then I felt guilty, because I know that so many people, especially on my home island of St Croix, and the rest of the Caribbean, have been through so much worse. Then I thought well thats actually a reality of almost everyone,always, someone else always, has it so much worse, and thats pretty much a constant. However this logic didn't make me feel any better, or at all help to ease my seance of survivors remorse.
Then I had an idea. A deal I could make with myself that would allow me to do what was needed with the tools available, to survive my own crisis, and to still be able maintain my own seance of civic responsibility.
So here's what I came up with. If by some miracle I actually raise the 3,847.00 dollars that I actually need to maintain myself without any income for a month, give or take 47 dollars. I pledge to donate what ever money is raised above and beyond that, to a reputable fund set up to help the people of St. Croix, Puerto Rico and the rest of the Virgin Islands... and, I'm pretty sure I can live with that. Thank you, Josh
