side ways
Whether you call it flashing or siding, you must admit it looks better than the cobbled-together look of our two walk-ins. It’s still not perfect- the back of our big walk-in sticks out and is painted blue, but it’s still pretty lovely.

good morning starshine
A well-lit parking lot is a happy parking lot, so we managed to procure some new heads for the light poles that line our lot. You can park easily at Feast with the many conveniences afforded us by modern technology. What’s more, the SWS people are quite neighborly about the parking situation, to we will […]
at least the carpet matches the drapes
I have to hand it to Smutz- he picked colors that match the new building nicely. Although, come to think of it, he probably stole our paint to do this.
the last bits of flooring
The plank flooring is finished, and today they drop in the floor behind the bar and in the waiter’s station, which is made from recycled tires. Rubber floor means less broken glassware. I hope.
I have reservations about taking reservations
Tuesday began and ended our installation and training on Open Table, the software (and hardware) that lets you make a reservation from our website ( or Open Table’s website, though we prefer you use ours, since OT charges us a dollar a head for every reservation made through their site). Training lasted less than two […]
belly up
Feast, in its current incarnation, has had a bar for five years now. And while it’s been a fine, fine bar, and we’ve served many a tasty drink and pleasant meal at it, for five years, we at Feast have been catching our collective hip on it, and everyone who sits on B3 and B4 […]
gatemates
I met these two guys on Tuesday, and while they are thankfully neither keymaster nor gatekeeper, they are, even more thankfully, both gatemakers. I think it’s turning out pretty sharp, and I’m quite fond of our exciting new gated dustbin area, which, you may recall, is the flattest one in town. Or at least in […]
hole-y moley, part CLXXVI, but I exaggerate
Yesterday there was a trench full of wire; today, the new heads go on the poles that light our parking lot. Tomorrow, the parking lot will be seal-coated and striped, which means the people who miss the entrance to SWS will have to circle the block and come back around, like they used to when […]
moving day
Royce and Flip are the two electricians who’ve been here pretty much daily. Yesterday morning they came and mounted everything to the side of the new (old) walk-in. They bent conduit, they pulled wires, and they bolted, twisted and torqued. Flip wore a towel on his head. Then John, the project manager, came and explained […]
downtown brown
Robin has a heck of a beaux. I don’t know how he got roped into this, but he did what appeared to be the grunt work yesterday while Robin, who’s no slouch herself, work-wise, finished up the grout, which toned down the brightness of the travertine quite nicely. It’s kinda brown and soft-like.
