Richard, It was my pleasure to meet you and your wife. I enjoyed your company and hope to see you both again soon. Did you find the Mass Pike? :) Thanks for the hat also. I had only wished that you could have stayed longer and that I had more free time to sit and talk with you. But, you seen the salesmen there and they were hanging around to take the food order. As of wednesday we have sold over 300lbs of pulled pork, over 300 lbs of ribs and 300lbs of brisket <not bad for being open for 2 weeks and no advertising> Richard I am sorry I hadn't noticed the flowers that you sent <slapping my head> But as you seen they are on the bar in the window. I was so busy that when they were delivered that nobody told me they came. Good help is hard to find, However I did read the card and want to thank you and Debbie for them. We tried to create a place that wasn'ta dive and had a comfortable feel. Lastnight I was called out to the dinning room 5 times to meet people. They wanted to meet me and all of them loved the BBQ and sauces. If makes all the bull we went through worth it when our guest want to meet with the "Smoken Joe" :) The most complaints I've gotten was that we do not at this time serve desert and very soon we will be serving pie. <I need to find more fridge space>. Again I would like to thank you for taking time to come up. It's great to meet the folks from here and yes, we are like old lost friends because we have a common bond for great bbq and willing to put in that extra effort and go that extra mile to serve up the best bbq to friends and family. You guys are the BEST! and I do want to say one more thing to all of you. Thank You for your support through our tough time, It was worth all of the BS we went through. well, Time to wake up the kid and start my day.
Your in Smoken,
Joe
