Tomorrow is the big day!

[Squiggle]

Well, it's been just over three weeks since my missus suggested we open a restaurant & I don't know how it happened(it's all been a bit of a blur) but tomorrow we open! We've had a bit of luck with the whole thing, basically the place is turnkey & all we had to do was get the food & do all the paperwork. It's a little cafe/restaurant about 800m down the road that closed in September & the owners asked us if we wanted to rent it off them & three weeks later we are restaurant owners. I've been up all night smoking 40 thighs, 2 butts & 25 salmon fillets & I don't know how you comp guys do it, I'm knackered!! Both my smokers are pumping hard & the GF has been going for about 20hrs now, used about 10kg of lump but that's all good. I have to thank all of the guys here for all the help you've given me with both my builds & recipe tips & if any of you make it down to Mole Creek come in to The Pepperberry Cafe & I'll shout you a local beer & a feed, maybe a pulled pork pizza or smoked salmon & homemade cream cheese on homemade sourdough. Anyhoo, I think I'm babbling now, possibly cause I've been awake for about 27hrs, but the point I'm trying to make is THANK YOU SMOKERBUILDER FAMILY, you guys rock!

Awesomeness!

Thanks for all your support guys, we opened at 9 (still hadn't slept then & still haven't slept now) & at 11 we got smashed all the way till 3, I'm tired, ecstatic & relieved all at the same time. I'm going to go home & sleep now, so I'll see you all in a couple of days.

Hey Squiggle, well done on the restaurant opening.
You do realise that long hours in the food industry are standard don't you. My future son-in-law is a chef and he grafts long and unsocialble hours.
But I wish you all the very best in your endeavour. I'm sure you'll make a real go of it.

And as the saying goes, no pics it did not happen....

[Squiggle]

Hahaha, yeah I know there's some long hours coming but the other day was a 34hr mega shift!! But being the boss I can take time off as soon as I train enough good people, that's the plan anyway, lol. Today was just as good as yesterday, flat out most of the day, I hope that it's a continuing trend.

Thanks DC, I have the same sticker on my smoker, must be a sign!

& im really sorry about the lack of Qview, I wasn't really thinking straight, or seeing straight for that matter, at 3:30 in the morning. I will definitely make sure I get some pics on the next run, which should be fairly soon after today, chicken & pulled pork rolls did really well today.

Best of luck to you and your family Squiggle!
And I LOVE your avatar pic...

Hope all goes well for you Squiggle.

Less than a month from a sugestion to a successful opening is very impressive.

here's to your long term success.

And as the saying goes, no pics it did not happen....

All the best wishes and hope everything is going well.!
