It had been two and a half months since Sean Kelley had worked in a kitchen.
The former Temper Grille owner and chef was feeling beaten down from a busy night and from months of hearing from angry customers who spewed hateful comments about his decision to close Temper last December.
Near the end of dinner service, he stepped out of the kitchen and on his way back, diners started to stand and clap.
Kelley got a standing ovation.
âI met a lot of people over 10 years, a lot of friends,â he said Wednesday. âThe people that were here last night were showing some love, and that was awesome.â
