Sorry to hear you are bailing out on Anoka. Their loss.

We opened our restaurant with a fec 260. Didn't care for it. Smoldering wood chunks just don't leave the right smoked flavor. As soon as I could, I switch to an Ole Hickory. Love it. Clean smoke, ...

Good luck. We looked at a couple places in Anoka. Great town, just not the right real estate. I spent a lot of time there growing up. My dad had a sign shop right next to the Rum River bridge in t ...

Is that the Rum River that the building is next to?

We started serving breakfast on Sat and Sun about 9 months ago. Saturdays we serve 40 to 60. Sundays usually about 100 to 140. We do a lot of the typical breakfast platters. The big sellers are ou ...

It's been a couple years since I posted this. I believe there are probably a lot of new members since then. I believe that this was the best pit we ever built...and I still cook on it today. Tons o ...

That's a long haul. Thinking about setting up shop out there?

Well done Jared. With all you've got going on and raising a young family, I can't imagine where you find the time.

Hey Charlie, my OH does have a smoke extractor. Actually, I can't imagine not have one.

We were offering a new product at a vend this weekend. We called it a Lone Star Meat Monster. It was a smoked brat in a bun, topped with diced onion, sauced pulled pork and shredded cheese. Messy t ...

I use an Ole Hickory. It is awesome and easy to use. The BBQ is first rate. We were just voted "Best BBQ in Southern Minnesota".

Haven't heard from Moonie in awhile. It would be fun to get an update.

If you are getting $24 a pound for brisket, food cost is NOT a problem.

Excellent post Charlie.

I am to the point where we do not accept any pre-ordering May through September.
If they are 10 minutes out, and pay over the phone, we do it. But I have had too many issues where they show up an hou ...

I was in a partnership in the early 80's. Business was quite successful, partnership was not. Breaking up the partnership was worse than a divorce. Never again.

Thanks y'all. I was guessing 25 to 30. My kitchen mgr filled an aluminum 1/2 pan with mashed potatoes, scooped it out one serving at a time, turned out to be 18 servings.

I know I should know this but....how many servings do you usually figure for a 1/2 pan, ie; rice, mashed potatoes, kernel corn, etc.

Thank you guys. Your help on this is much appreciated. Your contracts give me a good outline to work with.
