Weeding was not how I imagined my summer internship. But who does? At Pairings Bistro in Bel Air, weeding was one of the many tasks I completed. From waking up at 6 AM to open the food truck for the farmer’s market, to staying at the restaurant until 11 PM cleaning and restocking the truck for our next catered event, Pairings was an experience that I will never forget. But let’s start from the beginning.
