To my incredible staff at Sweetwater Cuisine —
There is no way to truly put into words what you do to make Roast on the River happen. Year after year, you give your time, your talent, your muscle, and your hearts to this event — and you do it without spotlight or fanfare.
You carry tables. You chop, prep, plate, pour, polish, clean, smile, and somehow… still show up with joy.
You give your blood, sweat, and yes — sometimes tears, all in the name of grace and service.
This event is not just a reflection of Daniel’s story — it’s a reflection of your grit, your work ethic, your heart, and your dedication.
You are the reason our guests feel cared for.
You are the reason the food is unforgettable.
You are the reason this event has soul.
I am so incredibly proud, grateful, and lucky to walk beside you — not just for this event, but every day at Sweetwater.
From the bottom of my heart:
Thank you. I love you. You make this all possible. 💛
With grace and endless gratitude,
Jodi
