Sleep... oh how i miss you.

[Dropy]

I have scheduled myself 3 hours of sleep coming this next march... Assuming, of course nothing gets in the way of this. This is what happens when you open up a restaurant!!!!!!!!!

O yeah, figured I would stop in and check in. =)

Is going well, the restaurant has been paying its own bills since the first week we opened the doors!!! Guesse you could say its a success. And its just getting better and better. Just did our best week yet last week. Expanded our days to 5 days a week opened. Had a long time friend of mine move from NC up here to ND to help me out, which has been great. This has allowed me to go from 110 hr work weeks down t 105 hr work weeks. YAY!!! Making him start to take Mondays off now.

We still don't advertise except the deal we struck in a VERY small local newspaper in a small town 20 miles away. They did an article on on us that ended up on there front page, full color. The owner of the paper eats here EVERY week and loves our food. So we trade food for a nice little spot in his paper. Also as a result of his article we got noticed by the herald up in grand forks and they interviewed us too. Of course I was like "Whatever". Come to find out they put THAT article in EVERY newspaper in there system and the video online spanning from Bemidji, MN to Dickinson, ND. SO that was pretty cool. I am still not sure how many papers it was total. /shrug.

So hoping to sleep someday soon. In the meantime I just keep smoking meats and cooking great foods!!

Can I place a to go order to Tennessee? I have a couple of beef briskets, and 10 sandwiches. How soon can you have them delivered?

[Dropy]

Our menu.. she grows. I learned how to make sausage and folks go crazy over them. Aparantly I has the knack for it. We also do some amazing desseserts. Hmm lemme break it down for ya so that you sit there in a puddle of saliva as you drool... SO y co-chef spent 12 years perfecting his cheesecake recipe, and I will put his cheesecakes against ANY in the world. So he goes and makes several different cheesecake flavors like Turtle (with chcocolate, caramel and candied nuts that he candies himself), cherry, reeses, raspberry, applejack, the list goes on.. I do chocolate whiskey pecan pie and key lime pie. He also does carrot cake. Chocolate cake and various brownie desserts are yet to come. Stay tuned.

On the savory side we do a lot also like chicken curry, brisket philly cheesesteak and so much more. we even cut our own fries.

BECAUSE PREFAB FOODS SUCK!!!!

=)

[bacpacker]

Are you absolutely sure you wouldn't ship a cheesecake or 3?

[Sniper-T]

Sounds like the philly cheese steak alone is worth the drive...

[Dropy]

We sell a lot of cheesesteaks!!

Not sure how well the cheesesteaks would fare enroute. Would prolly have to ship em overnight or something. And the packaging. Hmmm lemme think on it.

LadyHK and I were up in Bottineau not to long ago for a family reunion............this would have been worth the drive just to go have breakfast lunch and dinner! Oh how I love your menu! CONGRATS! On the business Brother!

[bacpacker]

Dropy, don't sweat figuring out the cheesecake shipment. Just let us know if that gets to be part 9f the bus ess.

I'm happy things are going well. And if I ever get up that way. I will make it a point to stop in and grab some goodies.
