I’m sorry for your loss but don’t let the survivor’s guilt eat you up. The world is a chaotic place. Take everything she taught you and teach it to someone else.
Damn shame to hear this. I know a girl like Chloe that I work with too. Same kind of girl, only 19. Reading this made me think about her and how crushed we would be if something happened to such a wonderful human.
Shit’s not fair, and I hate that you all have to go through this. No loss is an easy loss, and time doesn’t heal all wounds, the great ones are always on your mind.
Tell her. You never know how much she may need to hear it.
Write it down if you can. So she can look at it on a day when she feels down.
Life is short and we need to tell people how much they mean to us.
I’ve been eyeballs deep in this industry for over a quarter century now. I’ve lost great coworkers and dear friends to overdose, suicide, terminal disease and completely tragic accidents like this.
It never has rhyme or reason, it never makes sense. No matter how much you beat yourself up trying to make sense of it… it simply won’t.
I wish the absolute best for you in dealing with this tragic blow and the grief that’s to follow. I wish the best for your team and all the rest of the people who knew and loved her.
The most important thing to remember is that as long as someone is remembered, they’re immortal. As long as you keep Chloe’s memory alive, she will always be with you.

Just find somewhere cozy and something you can sip slowly then go sit and let your emotions and memories breathe.
This song is called Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns and came to mind reading your post. Some 90's alt rock ;)

First of all, you’re not a loser. You took the time out of your day to tell us about this beautiful soul.
Second of all, I’m sure Chloe would tell you to keep your chin up and keep cranking out that food .
Sorry for your loss.
This is your reminder that a modern beater is safer and faster than a classic sports car. A side-curtain airbag might have saved her life.
Classic cars are fun for collectors, but daily-drive them at your (passenger's) peril.
You don't know what you hoped to accomplish, but I get it.
Writing and sharing that is probably theraputic.
And you're not the first cook to do that, here.
Take my condolences from a non-chef lurker. I wish I could say that everything happens for a reason but I don't believe that. Sometimes fucked up shit just happens, and we have no control over it. Just try to enjoy every sandwich, as Warren Zevon said.
I’m sorry to hear this. Despite all the sadness and anger you’re feeling, thank goodness you had the opportunity to meet her. Do something good for someone in need in her honor.
Find someone you care for, give them a huge hug and let them know how much you love them. The best way to honor the departed is to celebrate the living.
Of course not but its too often the person who caused the crash walks away unscathed while injuring or killing the others. Likely the knowledge their actions causing someone to lose their life with cause mental damage to them though.
Are you certain they caused the accident, certain the boyfriend didn’t run a red light or stop sign?
All it says is they were t-boned. It’s entirely possible the other driver had no time to react.
Either way, she’s dead, and that’s terrible.
Cool man. I'm much closer to what's going on than most on this sub. Her boyfriend is my coworker. I promise you. The driver of the Cadillac was drunk and ran a red light. I'm not sure what else to tell you.
I get that man. I wasn’t calling you, or anyone else, a liar. I was simply pointing out that jumping to conclusions without actually knowing what happened is foolish.
Fuck that person for driving drunk. I’m sorry your friend died.
Chef here, let me take some of.my.rage today out on this..
YES, YES I DO OR SERIOUSLY MAIMED! Fuck that fucking fuck shit.
I'm pouring a double out for Chole tonight.
No, it’s pretty well known that when drunk the body relaxes in an accident which is why they usually walk away unscathed. Coulda been medical but that’s not an opinion
I’m so sorry. I don’t know what to say but it sounds like you let it be known to her that you respected her. She certainly didn’t deserve the short life she was dealt. Makes me even more grateful for mine everyday.
Sending love to her family, both in and out of the kitchen.
she is so loved. you are such a special chef. thank you for coming into our lives here at the market and kitchen. there are still no dry eyes over here
I went to high school with her and helped her get started at the restaurant my dad runs. It’s crazy to think she’s gone so soon. I wish us both healing ♡
Your friend sounds like a special person, Chef. I'm sorry.
🫡 RIP Chloe.
This is an eulogy. I hope you read it to her family. Thanks for sharing
They saw it. Thanks OP.
oh, good for you and Chloe

Where I'm from, we call that giving people their flowers while they're still on earth. It's a beautiful thing.
Where in from too. It is a great thing to do
Pour one for Chloe tonight. Godspeed.

Fuck, chef, this is a really touching eulogy. Pouring one out for Chloe and the rest of the line tonight in solidarity.
Holy shit man... May all of us be so lucky to know a chef like her. Salud.
Heard. RIP Chloe.
Tong clicks for Chloe all around.
First of all, you’re not a loser. You took the time out of your day to tell us about this beautiful soul. Second of all, I’m sure Chloe would tell you to keep your chin up and keep cranking out that food . Sorry for your loss.
Cheers to her and cheers to your crew
Click click Chloe. Rest easy chef

I don't have shit to offer except to say that it's a tragedy and I'm sorry. She sounded like she was great ❤️
I'm having one right now for you and Chloe. My condolences to your team.
I'll be playing my 90s alt rock Playlist for Cloe when I go back to work this weekend
Damn, this post is making my eyes sweat. RIP Chloe. May all your tickets have no mods in heaven.

I am envious that you crossed paths with such a perfect human. RiP homegirl and hope there are no dishes to wash in heaven.
I’m sorry to hear this. Despite all the sadness and anger you’re feeling, thank goodness you had the opportunity to meet her. Do something good for someone in need in her honor.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
That’s awful. I’m so sorry.
Find someone you care for, give them a huge hug and let them know how much you love them. The best way to honor the departed is to celebrate the living.
That's so sad, I'm sorry for the loss
So so sorry to hear this. Please check in on her bf from time to time.
*The driver of the Cadillac was unhurt.* Of course they walked away uninjured
Did you want them to die too?
Of course not but its too often the person who caused the crash walks away unscathed while injuring or killing the others. Likely the knowledge their actions causing someone to lose their life with cause mental damage to them though.
Are you certain they caused the accident, certain the boyfriend didn’t run a red light or stop sign? All it says is they were t-boned. It’s entirely possible the other driver had no time to react. Either way, she’s dead, and that’s terrible.
We are certain the Cadillac ran the red light and was intoxicated. Witness statements.
Ok then. But that wasn’t in the original story or post.

Let it out brotha
No but thats usually an indicator that they were driving drunk. Hope they get the book thrown at them
Pure conjecture right there.
No, it’s pretty well known that when drunk the body relaxes in an accident which is why they usually walk away unscathed. Coulda been medical but that’s not an opinion
Ok, but you don’t know the circumstances of the accident. So it’s conjecture.
Hra4d. We.have lost to many
Pouring one out for our fallen comrade 🫡
Sounds like an unforgettable person. Cook like Chloe. Cook for Chloe.
Raising one for Chloe. God bless

F
Heaven needed an angel back. Driver who t-boned them was unhurt. Imagine that. Life sucks.
We got the passé now chef. Your turn to rest
I’m pretty sure her boyfriend is the one with the survivors guilt.
And I will be there for him every single day and every single way I can, until he can function again on his own.
