Trucking along.

Things are still going very well. Catering has picked up big time over the past couple/few weeks, specifically on music row. The Joint has been doing really well. Jackie has been working the register on Tues. & Wed. nights which has enabled me to go home and be with Martha to help with Daisy and Wyatt.........more so Wyatt. Entertaining him frees Martha up with Daisy, who like Wyatt has colic!
We're slowly bringing on our spring/summer specials. We had oysters brought in for oyster po-boys and sold out of those in less than a week. This coming week I've got shrimp coming in for the remainder of the spring/summer for shrimp po-boys. Bo & I are making a gazpacho on Monday (when its supposed to get warm again). I'm curious to see how that goes over. This past Saturday I offered the most expensive BBQ sandwich in the world. I should have taken a picture of it but forgot to. I plan on having it this Saturday so I'll try to take one then to post on the blog. Anyway, I brought in some fois gras and cold smoked it in the pit. When it was finished we sliced it, pan seared it and put it on top of pulled pork drizzled with white truffle oil and about 4-5 big drops of traditional balsamic vinegar (which is about $60.00 per ounce!). We sold that sandwich with fries and a Miller High Life (what else but the "champagne" of beers?) beer for $99.00 - AND ACTUALLY SOLD A COUPLE OF THEM! To describe the sandwich all you can say is "decadence"! It was very, very good.......very hard to describe unless you taste it. You really should come out and pay me $99.00 for this meal, its worth it! If after you eat it and you dont think its worth it then just come up to the counter and let me know. Now, I wont give you your money back, but I will listen to your frustration which by releasing those emotions will make you feel better about your decision.
