hit the parking lot, Jack

  When the concrete around Feast started going in, I saw a guy in a hat checking in periodically to make sure everything was going according to plan.  He looked like the owner of Benchmark Concrete, which in fact he turned out to be.  And I imagined him strolling from one Benchmark job to the […]

I can’t say the budget overruns have been an enjoyable experience, but I can say that after just a couple hundred square feet, I’m glad we sprung for some decent flooring.  I’ve got nothing against polished concrete when I go to a restaurant as a guest, but when you’re walking on it all day, you […]

lost frost

Omar and I started yesterday bright and early, hauling everything out of the walk-in and into our temporary refrigerated truck.  while the truck is about the size of our walk-in, it’s configured rather differently, which means many of us will need to lose a few pounds to get in and out of it.  Still, it […]

seeing red

Our lighting guy seems like a good sort.  He loves to talk, and he gave me all sorts of advice on the restaurant business.  He told me all about his upcoming cruise to Alaska and his birthday and his favorite places to eat (big fan of the Olive Garden- I should check it out, he […]

rack attack

I know we’re over budget everywhere, but I’m hoping that this lone bike rack isn’t enough.  We have two more at Current Feast that I’m hoping to bring over if I can find a spot for them.  Plus there’s Bob, Builder of Bike Racks, who I’ll try and set something up with eventually, but in […]
