We're Open!!

No pictures (NO TIME!!) to post at the moment, but we finally finally finally got opened on Tuesday. Lots and lots of stress and pressure and trips to Rose's and Dollar Tree, but we made it. So far we are just doing dinner, lunch will start in a couple weeks. We are still - of course - fine tuning and learning. The POS system is awesome...once I get the hang of it. All of the kitchen equipment is working great - even the reach-in that didn't want to work here at first has come around, thanks to EMR. Some lights in the DR need to be replaced, there's still a few (a few?? Calvin!!!) items on our punch list for Warfel, but for the most part we are up and running. We've been coming in at 7 or so every day and staying til close - poor Ruby is suffering greatly. Eventually she will be getting a better mid-day break with the Masters, but for now she has to make do with Jacob for company, a morning run and a late night rough-house. She's adjusting...

The food that Holly and Kevin and Company are putting out has so far - during our guinea pig nights over the weekend and the past two nights of service - been getting pretty good reviews. Still some fine tuning to do there but we know one thing for sure - the Romaine Salad is a keeper!
