The Tip is 'Teach Grandchildren' One day, while I was on the Made In America Secrets site my granddaughter noticed and asked me what I was doing. I told her about the Big Secret and as I explained, she began to ask me more questions. After several minutes she left my office to play with her little sister. Months had gone by and until recently, I had forgotten about that moment. She was visiting again and I was talking to her about buying a custom printed T-Shirt. She immediately told me about a website that I could use to buy one. Wow I thought, she is only eight years old and already teaching me. The most amazing thing then happened, she said "Pops they sell Made In America T-Shirts". Thanks to her I purchased six custom Made In USA T-Shirts. Her name is Britton, she understands the Big Secret and I love it when she tells me her Little Secrets! Now she is ten and writing a screenplay called Mertastic. It is a story about a mermaid. Recently, she was visiting our house again and using my computer. She called me to come into my office and of course I came to her because that is what grandparents love to do. One of the reasons I love to be with her is because it is always interesting to see what she is up to. This time, she needed a mermaid tail for her movie, so we began to look around using Google. Her mother is a talented seamstress and will make the tail so we were looking for fabric that would be satisfy my granddaughter's vision of her mermaid tail. Once again we began to talk about Made in America and therefore started to investigate the country of origin of the fabrics she was considering. Because of that experience Made in USA fabric is now one of Made in America Secrets products. Thank you, Britton. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Tilit I have been a professional cook, a chef, a career food slinger, an artiste for 17 years now. I got my start washing dishes and frying taco shells in a Mexican joint in my hometown of Covington, Louisiana. Since then I have learned from amazing people in Kansas City, New Orleans, New York City and the Caribbean. I've worked at New Orleans' legendary Commander's Palace, Charlie Palmer's Aureole, Antonucci and many more. My biggest honor as a Chef has been cooking at the James Beard House. Over the last several years I have worked for Jerry Seinfeld's family here in New York, NY. I have been very lucky in my career and wouldn't change this job for the world! As my role in kitchens has evolved over the last three decades, I have become increasingly aware that there are very limited resources for chef goods. From clothes and tools to popular information I feel like the industry isn't being fully served with fresh ideas from real people. I created Tilit to be the source for chef goods and community that will strive to serve the cooks on the line, the chefs at the helm and the makers in their home. I invite you to shower me with praise, only kidding, but honestly share with me and others your feedback. Positive as well as constructive negative criticism is always welcome. It's your fresh ideas and real opinions that will allow Tilit to grow into a great brand for our community.
