Yes, Kokopuffs. He also had a Discovery Channel summer show we talked about some weeks ago. I get sick when I think about anyone being in that building above the impact points....

No, maybe not, but I imagine that many cooks, servers, dishwashers, and bussers were there. And that is the true tragedy. Windows on the World was just a place. It's no tragedy that it is gone. The tragedy lies in all who died along with it.

"there were about 600 guests, 30 to 35 cooks and 35 servers on the premises when the building was hit"

Pete, I second your sentiments. You've hit on the gist of the situation.

You woke up Tuesday morning it was like any other day. While we were carrying on as usual, somewhere there were people who were planing to execute such a monstrously evil plan. You had never met those people, never suspected such evil could exist never thought someone could carry on such a monstrous plan. They did not care about human life. They were willing to die to kill others. And we are left wondering why…

Lomomaco lives, and thankfully so; he is a talented chef and a nice man. I don't envy him, though. He just lost 30-35 of his crew to a senseless act of barbarity unequaled to any I know of occurring during my lifetime. I don't know how and if I could handle it. I wish him and especially the families of our fallen brothers and sisters peace. All we can do is continue to cook with passion and with love in our hearts. And never forget.

i dont not know the man. Nor do i know the workers. However, i do know the pain of losing people close, regardless, of the situation.
I propose that this site generates a list of lost chefs and staff, and that to commemorate them and others lost, that a suitable symbol, a wreath or a ribbon, whatever, be displayed on all sites, not just this, to symbolise, the loss and the hope to spur those left behind and to propel everyone into a future of hope and rebuilding.

I second that. Thanks for the suggestion.
As I watch the news for the third day, I feel sadder and sadder.
