Sorry to hear about the floods. Any idea of the cause? Other than torrential rain, I mean?
Never a dull moment. Had some heavy rain last night and when I walked in the entire kitchen was flooded. Lovely way to start the day.
And who would have thought, but today's lunch was the busiest ever. Even busier than weekends. Been sold out of ribs, tips, and chicken since 1:30.
And a news crew from WNDU came this morning to do a story but with all the flooding issues to take care of I had to turn that down.
Just another day at the pig...
2nd smoker can't come soon enough. too bad you'll miss out on the memorial day rush. hopefully it will be up and running by the 4th.
It won't be ready until late July.
And speaking of another smoker, I had a woman break down and start crying when I told her we were already booked for our big orders this sunday. That was brutal, so I told her I'd still be able to get her pulled pork and am just bringing in my WSM this weekend to help cook a few more butts.
You are a good man. That stuff is always remembered. Well done.

Yeah it is for her husband's 70th birthday. Made her day I'm sure. Couldn't turn that down and be able to sleep at night.
At some point I'll have them beat--either this fall, or next spring. I'm planning a motorcycle trip up to the Great Lakes, and you're on my list for a stop. I'll be coming from DFW, TX, that's a little over 1,000 miles. :mrgreen:Also, I know it had to be one of the brethren, but on Saturday while I was out running errands somebody came in and said they drove 600 miles. And that it was worth it. That's all I heard from one of the cashiers when I got back. Bummer I wasn't there to see who this person was.
