Had a good meeting with Don at the local VFW...he is taking my request to his BOD for approval. Also got a line on a future comp and possibly 25-30 catering gigs... The last guy he recommended turned out some pretty bad Q and left a bad taste in the locals mouths...his loss...our gain...me and the Swamprb don't turn out bad Q...period!

... and once you get done with those, a standard form contract, and electronic pricing tools! Best of luck to you, I've had great fun doing catering gigs on the side by sharing kitchen space with a local bakery. In the market for a mobile over the winter, but we shall see....

Your website after you finish will need a touch up by a pro. Mine was done by brother, SOEZZY! PM him and pay him for a day, 1/2 of work or what ever the budget allows. www.soezzy.com I would not commit to what wood you are using on specific meats. You can say we smoke your meat using pecan, hickory, apple...

Here's my site that I threw together with an old copy of Microsoft FrontPage that I had from a former life. It's nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.
