With apologies to Dinah Washington, as miserable as I felt leaving work yesterday, today was different. Not only did we have enough meat to get us through a very busy lunch but the new smoker finally arrived around 5 pm and it seems to work great.  Its chugging away right now and we’ll see in the morning how we did.  Goodbye Bradley and Hello Smokeshack.  You gotta love good ol’ American manufacturing.  Took three of us to shlep it up the stairs.  This things solid.  I’ve got nine big fat briskets going and I intend to feed another nine when I get to work in the morning.  Run out?  I’ll show you run out.

And to top the day off, we got a mention in Now Magazine’s “Best of T.O.” edition.  Of all the thousands of eateries in this city we get a mention right there with the best of the best.  I’d say I’m speechles but I’m clearly not.  Who woulda thunk it?  I really wish my Uncle John was around to see this.  That man could fress with the best.  I know he’s watching and loving every moment.
