The smoker won’t arrive until Monday at the earliest which means we’ll limp through the weekend. We won’t accept take-out orders for more than 4 sandwiches at a time (the Giulia Mandel Rule- I love it) and no catering either until we’re flush with meat.
Turns out the shipper didn’t crate the smoker as agreed and I’m worried about my baby. 48 briskets at a time. Whole logs. No more apologising to roomfulls of friends and customers. This is going to be great.
On another note, I was called away on a family matter this morning and was thrilled to hear from David Mirvish and Avie Bennett that the place was busy and that customers were happy. Without me?!? Hmmmm… Makes me proud and a little insecure at the same time.
I’m thrilled with my team, its coming together beautifully and once we get on top of our meat supply issues, life will be good.
That being said, if you’re craving smoked meat, call ahead:
