I agree. I was looking forward to more than 6 or 7 minutes of time. But I agree also that DDD producers are trying to find more of the places that are really unique.
Still Charlie, an awesome segment! Way to go. BTW where do you get your tray foil liners?

Unfortunately, nobody has posted this episode to my usual haunts of bittorrent, newsgroups, etc. I have had no luck finding it online. I guess I could buy the episode from iTunes.

I got the pans at Sam's Club, they are the heaviest I've found and I get several runs out of them, if I support them while carrying. I am watching auctions for stainless.
The episode will air again this weekend, Fri 7 pm, Sat 11 pm, Sun 2 pm and then it will be available online I'm sure. They need to make their money first

Sorry.  I meant the liners on your baskets. They look like they are foil deli wrap sheets.

Saw it tonight and was disappointed that Guy only gave you about 4 minutes. He didn't help you cook or let you show off your skills.
I couldn't believe you put whole jalapenos in that sauce seeds and all...
Looks like you have a good, loyal following so I wish you well for years to come... |

Mike, I get those sheets at Restaurant Depot, but they are available online. They are cushion foil sandwich wraps. They work nice. Customers aren't eating the liner and it makes for easy clean up. We put them in plastic bar trays.

I'm wondering about your sales percentage compared to two weeks ago...but it's really none of my business (just curiosity).

Of course business is up, We had a test run last summer with the great press we got then. I made adjustments that have made this comparable bump, so far, seem tame.
The big thing right now is, I have to put my big smoker inside to adhere to my state's lack of code, which they have then over compensated by using the base code, which requires floors, walls and ceilings. Even though every golf course in the state has an out door grill without a sneeze guard and they hand out temporary permits like Pez for festivals in every town in the state. Go figure? I have chosen, after a month of research, that my best option will be to put it in a concession trailer. Considering cost, it's potential and versatility it will be the best investment. I was initially told no, but I documented that it would be up to code, pretty much under protest from my health inspector. Next I am going to put my two bits in at the public input part of the planning meetings for the states revamped code. The code they choose better be the same for all food handlers or they will have a discrimination suit. I need to comply with their enforcement of least resistance to keep things going, for now. I wish my time and money was going to something I want to do. |
Went by your place yesterday, the hd must be given you some time to move your smoker, I see it is still outside.

They finally showed your episode on FoodTv Canada. What was there was good, but it would have been nice to get to see a bit more of your place and food just as they have given some others. Guess I will just have to make a road trip one of these days to see it first hand. Congrats Charlie, keep up the good work.

I hope nobody objects to this video clip. I had to go through he!! to get it captured and posted so the quality is a bit fuzzy, and the sound drifts a bit out of sync, but it gives the gist of this episode. All told, QFanatic gets about 3 minutes airtime on this episode of DDD.

Glad I was finally able to see it and post it.

Nice clip.
Did you put any recipes on their website? My wife was curious about the Espresso Sauce and the other variations you do.
Also, can you attach any preliminary dollar value or customer increase to getting on DDD? |
