In a tiny town of Paris a woman named Marie opened a restaurant called Mon Amour & Passion. It was in a part of town that wasn’t very often visited and no one knew about her restaurant. Marie took her time making delicious recipes for dinner lunch and breakfast, and yet no one came! Every so often a few people came but that was only one or twice a week. The rent was high and she didn’t know how she was going to be able to keep her store alive. All Marie wanted was to be able to share her food creations with the city of Paris.
As a tribute to her few costumers she decided to invite them to her restaurant for the last few days that Mon Amour & Passion remained. Her costumers came everyday of the week and even some of them brought family and friends. Marie was very pleased and she had no regrets to what she had done with her career. After all she had pursued her lifetime goal to continue on with her zeal of cooking, and also to open a restaurant.
As Marie was packing up her restaurant one of her dearest friends calls her asks her if she has looked at the paper yet today. Marie replies no, and as soon as she ended the call with her friend she dashes to the paper. Marie is absolutely speechless, and not to mention as white as a ghost about what is written in the food section. Front page of the restaurant reviews was her restaurant name, Mon Amour & Passion, and the review below it. As much as she wanted to, Marie couldn’t make herself look at the review. She had thoughts in her mind like was it really bad? Was it really good? Did he/she like what he/she was served? All of these questions racing through her mind Marie was so nervous to even look at the very first word! Finally the she came up with the confidence, and read the review.
“Mon Amour & Passion is not a place you pass by everyday, it is something you might not even know exists. A woman owns this restaurant by the name of Marie Dumont, who by the look of her menu, seems to work very hard on her exquisite dishes. Tasting her food, which was cooked to perfection, brought me to utter astonishment that a restaurant this unknown had such wonderful food. Her warm welcome when I walked in made me feel like a family member and the atmosphere of this cozy restaurant made everything feel like home. Lets just say my visit to Mon Amour & Passion was a delightful evening and I would definitely revisit.”
That one review changed everything in Marie’s life. Marie opened a new restaurant in a more busy part of town, and people came more and more often with big smiles and empty stomachs to try her new creations every week. Marie got everything she had ever wanted and not only did she keep her restaurant running she got to make her own cookbook which she sold to everyone is Paris to share her wonderful creations.
