Continuing on with the "Getting Paid to Grill" saga: now we're looking at doing a "Grilled Sticky Bun" item. Any Brethren ever do such a thing?
Here's why. Today was my third time grilling at work for the PSU "tailgate-hot Italian sausage sandwiches. Came out darn good. Hard to screw up. Again, just like the last times, I was pretty busy for about an hour and then nothing. Maybe another 3 or 4 orders for the next two hours. Pretty boring. So, I realized it's because we're not turning those seats over. That is: someone eats and leaves, and then someone else, and so on. Well, these people are here to watch the game. They eat and stay, hopefully drinking beer all the while. We're only selling food to them once, so I suggested to the boss doing a grilled dessert to sell them something else. I was thinking some kind of fruit, but he said that there's a diner up in State College, PA (where the main Penn State campus is) that is famous for their "Grilled Stickies". They take slices of sticky bun and butter and grill them on a flattop griddle. It sounds like an inspired idea, but I'm supposed to do it on a charcoal grill. Do you think it's possible?
