From Around the Smoker, No. 7: Long, also known as Raven.
Every restaurant has a few characters working in it, and we've certainly got one at Dirty Fingers.
Meet Long, or Raven as he also likes to be called. Long has been with us for three years now, and I have to tell you, he's quite a character.
I used to tell him, "Take that damn helmet off before you come through the door! You look like you're coming in to rob the place!"
Turns out he's into Japanese cosplay and collecting Kamen Rider toys.
But all joking aside, Long is a good kid. Since joining us, he's learned a lot, grown in confidence, and become one of the people we depend on.
He speaks English and Japanese, and there's a good chance he'll be one of the first people to greet you when you walk through the door.
Next time you're here, say hello to Long, or Raven if you prefer.
Just don't get him started talking about that motorcycle.
Swipe for his story.
