Joshua was a big man both in size and in heart. I remember
riding with him to Philadelphia to a very special
dinner at Le Bec Fin for numerous chefs from Baltimore. He loved his Southern roots; he loved his
music and quoting the lyrics
He was a graduate of Johnson and Wales in Charleston South
Carolina and parlayed that into his Southern Hospitality Solutions, the
Restaurant consulting business. A
restaurateur/consultant, he enjoyed developing restaurant concepts and opening
new restaurants.
I think this quote from his Facebook page will lend insight
into his love of words. Chef Joshua Hill, “I prefer to regard a dessert as I
would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and
extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing
everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts.”
For those interested you can find his obituary and
information about his memorial service at Roller
Funeral Home.
“Life is a series of
hellos and goodbyes.” … Billy Joel.
Goodbye Joshua
