To celebrate #5yearsofcornershop, we wanted to introduce some of the awesome team members that make the place what it is. Say hi to them the next time you come in!

Name: Travis Poole

Job: Grill cook, trainer at Beasley's + Chuck's

Hometown: Greensboro, North Carolina

How long have you worked at the Cornershop? 11 months

Favorite team memory?

I really loved the AC Restaurants holiday party. I knew that Ashley [Christensen] was a fun person, but that night was when I really understood the company philosophy of "work hard, play hard"--she made an ice luge out of a giant block of ice and then poured shots for anyone who wanted one. That was great.

What do you like about your job?

The atmosphere, the people. I like coming in on Saturdays, it’s really busy, everyone’s on point, working as a team. We joke around, but everyone knows the limit and when to get to work.

When you’re not working, you’re probably….

Hanging out with my brother and sister. And bowling. I’ve been bowling a lot lately.

What would you tell a visitor to do while in Raleigh?

I'd definitely suggest that they walk around downtown, maybe hit the Museum of Science. And go to an NC State football game!

What’s your favorite thing on the menu?

At Beasley’s, the chicken biscuit; the Spirit Animal at Chuck’s; and anything with bourbon at Fox.

Your secret talent is?

I love to make people laugh.

Favorite team memory? The first time I ever met [Ashley Christensen], I was so incredibly intimidated. She sat down at the bar, and it feIt like meeting a celebrity--I was so nervous. But she's the most down to earth person ever.

What do you like about your job? Being behind the bar, you meet all kinds of people. I love that. And the team here are the best I've ever worked with in any job I've ever had; it's a family.

When you’re not working, you’re probably….traveling, or working on something creative. I majored in art in college. In my free time, I love to paint, refurbish furniture, make things. I'd love to make it into a career someday.

What would you tell a visitor to do while in Raleigh? Eat! We have the best food scene in Raleigh. The farmer's market is a necessary stop. I also love Umstead Park.

What’s your favorite thing on the menu? Veggie sandwich, with a side of the roasted beets.

Your secret talent is? I love to garden; I like to think I have a green thumb.
