Finally...the last Entry

What a time we have had these past two weeks. Sleep and food were low on the list of "things to do". But, we made it. On Tuesday - May 29th - we had our last health inspection at 3 PM, at 4:15 we had our licence and at 5:30 we opened. Whew! We had 9 customers our first night and felt great about it! Every night this week we've served a few more people, gotten a little more practice under our belts and slowly have started to learn the space and system and routine that will eventually become second nature to all of us here. I have a TON of pictures to post to show you a bit of that last row we hoed to get to this point.

This is going to be my final entry on this blog - the new, Brooks Tavern blog, is going to take over at this point. Kevin says it should be called 'So You Thought You Wanted to Run a Restaurant'... I will put a link on this site for it - http://eatdrinkrelax.blogspot.com - and hope you will join us there in the future. As I've said earlier, this is planned be a BT community blog that will let us share our life in the restaurant. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks to all of our readers for watching our progress on this crazy undertaking. I hope you enjoyed it and while I don't think it gives a true picture of the past 14 months spent trying to put a restaurant in a barn, it sure is a good log book for future reading!

Many pictures follow. See you at the Mill!!
