Not unlike farmers having to hire immigrants to pick lettuce, etc...can't keep a "local" work force. Good on Elliot for not giving up and utilizing available resources. I was in F&B for 20 years as a cook, baker, waitress, and bartender. Cooking, or any of those jobs is hard, hot, back breaking work. Now, I'm in the health care industry. I work with far more people from other countries than not. They do great work.
