“Sometimes, you go into restaurants or places in general and think there is something about this that I really enjoy. This started ten years ago, I went in, and I loved it there. When Covid hit, people reached out to me and asked if I wanted to get involved. It is really hard work, but I love it.”
– Thomas Hitzlsperger, Owner of L’ESCARGOT
