AFMA Establishes Youth Chapter
AFMA Executive Director used the opening of the latest Palm Restaurant to announce the establishment of the first Youth Chapter of AFMA. Matt Graller will head the chapter up. Young Mr. Graller explained, “Currently there is no place for the young filet and lobster eaters to go for guidance and training. We hope to establish a mentor program where members of the youth chapter can be paired with adult members of the various special interests groups (SIGs) to learn more about the industry.” Mr. Graller added, “I mean look today’s youth, some of them, like under six, can’t even handle a steak knife, let alone those younger who can’t even chew solid foods. These kids need help. Finally, they have a place to turn.”
Matt’s initiation ceremony was held at the new Northbrook Palm, where he enjoyed a 10 ounce filet and shared a 3 pound lobster. Shown below, he put on a good show bloat.
