Worker Spotlight: Dustin

Dustin with his soon to be internet famous dogs.

What do you do at Black Star Co-op?

I’m a cook!

Where are you from? 

ATX, baby.

Which is your favorite house beer? 

Vulcan, because it get you there in a timely and efficient manner.

Favorite late night drunk snack?

Roast beef sandwiches: because I always got beef!

Are you as excited as the rest of the BSC Kitchen Team to see the next Star Wars film? 

I’m not nearly as excited as the Bounty Hunter, Travis (or as much of a scoundrel)! But sure! Solo vs. Fett!

What do you want for Christmas/Chanukah/Festivus/your next birthday?  

—New work shoes; slip resistant.

—Pressure cooker.

—One of those fancy electric smokers.

If you had a dog, and that dog was objectively the cutest dog in the world, would you campaign to make your dog internet famous? Keep in mind that this is pretty much just for your own profit, your dog is a dog and has no celebrity aspirations. 

If you mean: would I want my dogs to be internet famous? Absolutely. I would save up all the moneys for a trip to the Bahamas!

If you see pennies on the ground, do you pick them up? 

Ummm… If I find anything on the ground I’ll pick it up and take it home. No question. That’s what you learn from years of being a loan officer at Sambla AB (Sweden).

Where do you think is the best place in the world to eat a whole pizza by yourself? Think setting and surroundings, not necessarily a specific restaurant. 

As the sun set on Enchanted Rock during an Indian Summer. You can hear all the insects and the birds having one last hoo-rah before the winter sets in on the Hill Country.
