Subject: A&M SUPPORT AND TESTIMONY
My name is Zachary Hollinger and I am sending this email in support of A&M BBQ. The energy is always amazing every time I step foot in their establishment. They treat people with respect and have great customer service. I have lived out here for 15 years and there has not been a good BBQ out here ever.
We, the people need it and deserve it. I view Sebastopol as a very welcoming, progressive and accepting city. Black Lives Matter signs everywhere, and support for all backgrounds and orientation. What better way, to represent everyone than to have a black owned business in the city. And really, race aside, the food is great, the community loves them and their substantial is a true indicator of that.
Please be gracious and patience with them, as you work to find a common ground and compromise for the seemingly crediable complaints. But by all means, don’t kick them out of their space. I think I speak for anyone who has eaten their food or encountered Kris or Finn, we love, appreciate and need A&M BBQ.
