Well everyone, I have decided to open a BBQ joint. I will be taking this slow, and will tell you guys step by step what I am doing. I have got the keys to my building, I have signed a one year lease, and at any time the owner will sell it to me. I have already run into my first snag. I live 4 and half hours from Chicago, and I made the trip to buy a used double spaced commercial fridge, and a 10 flavor ice cream freezer. Drove back from Chicago at 85 mph and had little issue. Yesterday we were half a mile from the restaurant and a gust of wind hit so hard that it tilted the fridge, and the strap broke. Both pieces of equipment flipped off the trailer at 25 mph. Fridge is destroyed, testing the freezer today. Nobody was hurt, so there is a bright side. The only reason I went that far was for the ice cream scooping station. I have not found any of the used equipment dealers in the area that have them. So since I was not in the place adding the equipment, I made my logo. Let me know what you think. I will be updating this topic as things happen.
