The first time our lot was seal coated, there were a few dings and scratches that got missed, so my seal coat buddy Ernie came back out the other day to redo it. He even painted out a stripe so people would leave access to the SWS parking lot.
I’m not at liberty to comment on the Squirrel People at this time.
Two weeks ago, which in restaurant opening time feels like 7-10 months ago, a guy came out from Open Table and loaded up a computer for us. Over the course of an hour and a half, he explained to us pretty much everything this system can do, with three of us watching over his shoulder, […]
So this is a little quirky: I was unpacking the office this morning and discovered a bunch of applications clipped together. Here’s one that caught my eye, and I’ll tell you why: the name on the application (I’ll call it “The Application,”) was familiar to me. The name on The Application was the same […]
One of the permutations of Feast we considered was the one where we built a creamery into it. This wasn’t going to be easy, nor affordable, but Dave, who’s worked at Feast for years, had a two-year hiatus (or was it three, Dave?) during which he cut his cheese chops at Cowgirl Creamery. Oh, the […]

Then a little well-intentioned mishap occured- the president of Arizona Public Media, for whom we underwrite, came in for lunch. I told him I was glad he came in because it […]
Hello, Old Friend the Shed. We’ve missed you and we’re glad the guys from Benchmark Concrete came out and moved you with the grace and style with which you deserve to be treated. getting the job done in half the time with less effort.
Here are a few more photos from practice night. We’re honored to have some of our former coworkers return for Feast’s big move: Dan and possibly Nancy in the kitchen, and Rene and Lisa in the dining room. Just before Lisa had moved away, she had a cameo night at Old Feast and it was […]
twenty-eight tables’ worth of silk flowers We are indisputably a long way from perfection, which is why a dry run is required. If my pockets were deeper, we’d have had two practice nights rather than one, and we’d have ordered in all the odds and ends we didn’t think of. How about an ice bin […]
