You might say the movie, Office Space, was ultimately responsible for the fabulous head-to-tail Filipino dinner Chef Tim Luym cooked at The Attic in San Mateo, California, recently.
The movie was an epiphany for Tim, then working in high-tech as an online marketer. “I felt just like the main guy – he had no sense of passion or any satisfaction at work,” Tim recalls. “And so all my friends said, ‘you should do something you really want to do.’”
Tim assessed his interests and skills. “I was into music. But I knew it wasn’t a viable, long-term career – no one wants to see a 50-year-old DJ.” So he pursued his other passion: cooking.
