A highlight of the wonderful folks who work at our house.
Ms. Bryant Liggett, who is known by her friends, family and coworkers as BB.

GSRG is making an effort to recognize exceptional members of our staff. The primary candidate for recognition is Bryant Liggett, who is known more commonly as BB. She has been an outstanding GSRG employee for 4 years. During her employment with GSRG, BB has earned a bachelor’s degree, organized local dance programs and been an active member of our community.
The most dynamic part of BB’s life has always been her passion for dance. Teaching and learning dance has driven her since 5th grade. Due to a foot injury, BB decided that dancing professionally would not be realizable. Instead, she has sought out other dance-related careers to satisfy her love for dance, such as an internship with Ballet Chicago. She was recently offered the internship, and she is currently spending three months living in Illinois, working on the administrative and marketing side of professional dance.
In her own words, “being a server helped me realize how much I love talking and interacting with people, which in turn has helped me understand how to deal with different types of personalities. This quality is very important when it comes to working with the performing arts community.” In addition, working with GSRG has given BB the opportunity to work on large scale private events, which has given her an upper-hand on the planning and execution of Ballet Chicago’s Annual Fundraiser. GSRG has become her “second home” and we cannot wait for her to return.
We hope that knowing BB’s story will help to change the attitudes of any person who eats in a restaurant without noticing who their server is. If we all take a moment to consider the people around us, perhaps in some small way the world will be a better place to live, and to eat, in.
