Nice people and I eat at their place often, but they just spread themselves too thin with two places. But they are already sending business my way and telling everybody about this new BBQ place, so it should be a good mutual relationship since we don't step on eachother's toes in terms of menu or open times.

Thanks. My previous life was in finance, so that's one aspect of the business I think I have under control. So that I can handle, but dealing with the staff and that side of a restaurant business, that may very well be a challenge. But I'm up for it.
