When we broke the news to Jared that he won Weekly readers’ vote for Best Waiter, he was floored and found it humbling to have won such an accolade in such a hospitality-rich area. He wants to thank Rio Grill’s delicious cocktails for tricking people into thinking he is good at his job. But it’s no surprise for all his friends and co-workers that he won, as he is known to work hard—and well with others—and always with a smile.
