Stacy Wright

Head Server

Louisville Thoroughbred Society

No task is ever too much for her, and she gladly helps everyone. Many times, a last-minute restaurant crisis would happen, as with any F&B establishment, and you can always count on her to smile, keep it rolling, and start to act.

She often brings breakfast for everyone without expecting ever receiving this level of kindness in return. No task is ever too much to ask. She brings personality and spunk to the business and pushes through any challenge. Despite struggling with a chronic illness, she is still the hardest worker and a shining light. Covid hit our industry harder than ever, and it has created even more challenges for a short-staffed industry and more demand than ever, and she handles it with grace and humor.

Trevon has so many compliments from guests to me when I make table or bar visits in the restaurant. He has great mentions on TripAdvisor and other review outlets. Trevon has sacrificed without hesitation so many of his days off to help us when we have been in need due to short staffing or someone out with illness. He has been key to us having success in our restaurant. Trevon is a role model for staff members surrounding him and our new team members! He has volunteered many times to help us out without expecting recognition. He is appreciated by our team so much. He takes so much pride in the perfection in crafting his cocktails. He inspires others to be as good as he is at his job.
