Dominique Gray
Abel Brown Southern Kitchen and Oyster Bar
What’s the highest you’ve ever been?
(Laughs)…you’re gonna put this … like high on a mountain … or high in life? I was in Colorado a while back in the Rockies, and we got up to like 12,000 feet and we had to go down. I was about to throw up! It was terrible; I could barely breathe. It felt like an elephant was sitting in my chest.
Did you see the eclipse?
I did. I had to watch it from the back side of the restaurant! I wasn’t that impressed.
Summer or winter?
Fall. Football season, the clothes I get to wear … my birthday. I like the atmosphere in fall. Everybody’s happy that time of year.
Where is the best place to hide?
Under my blankets.
What’s your guilty pleasure?
Chocolate milk.
What’s your favorite drink?
Chocolate milk.
Do you bowl?
I do.
You do?
For fun.
You do. What do you mean for fun? How else would you bowl? Professionally?
I was a part of a league forever ago; my friend, she was sick, so I had to step in. That lasted about two weeks. Then they said I couldn’t be on the team.
How long have you worked here?
Almost a year.
What’s your favorite part about working at Abel Brown? And you can’t say the people.
My favorite thing would have to be … let me see … the bread pudding.
