Heya everybody, we have a missing chef out there. HIs family is worried about him, his colleagues are worried about him, hell, I'm worried about him. If you're in contact with Clyde Dolan, no pressure, he doesn't need to do anything, just let him know that we're all concerned. Hospitality mental health is still a huge taboo, but there are resources.
