Hi Sarma! This is Lizz that used to line cook at PFW about 3 years ago. I just wanted to let you know that working at PFW has made it impossible for any other restaurant to meet my standards. I went out to eat at a certain raw and vegan restaurant that I used to work at in Portland and the cashew hummus was BAD, like rancid nut stinky sock bad, I told them and they didn't seem to care at all, and further more acted like I was a bitch for saying anything. HEllo, quality control anyone.
You and the PFW crew could really teach some of these folks hows its done!

Thanks for the add! I have to say your (and matt's) raw food reall world definitely inspired me. Since living raw I feel like a huge weight has been lifted.
Keep up the amazing work!
