Before I was a dietitian, I was a waitress.  Serving food is something everyone should have to do once in their life.  It’s hard work, but the best money you can make as a teenager and college student.  I worked at many different restaurants including Chili’s, Bison Witches, and Ruby Tuesday.  Back in my Ruby [...]
