Beat the Summer Heat with a Cold Drink

So it has been a while since I have given you an update. We have been working hard and for many months patiently waiting for our next big change, a liquor license. But if what you want is a beer with your burger, you need wait no longer. Our license arrived and we are now very happy to offer a full service bar with only premium selections including; Smirnoff, Jose Cuervo Especial, Bacardi, Jack Daniels, Beefeaters, Cutter Sark and a selection of bottled beers. Ask for a Margarita at My Place and you'll get a homemade mix made with fresh squeezed limes and Jose Cuervo served on the rocks. A refreshing choice to beat the heat of summer.

I have to tell you this was one of the faster photo shoots I have done. The product just didn't last long enough for me to take much more than three photos. I know, It's a tough job but someone has got to do it. Maybe next time David will let me report on the Apple Pie. I want you to know I take these things seriously and feel it necessary to conduct the utmost research on the topics I report on. With that in mind, I think I'll go refill my Lemonade. My job is never done.

A BIG thanks to Hot Sauce Technologies

After two months of dutiful service day in and day out we retired our manual cash register in exchange for an automated Point of Sale system supplied by Hot Sauce Technologies. This is one of the many improvements we are making to increase our efficiency as we continue to expand. This also means we can move the old register and all that paperwork to make room for what will become the bar once a liquor license is received.

Two Out of Three Isn't Bad

If you have been by My Place and talked to David or I you probably were asked for your feedback. After such a request in January, one table left us these suggestions.

David and I talked about these ideas along with those we received verbally from many of you, like the one for Thousand Island dressing. Whether you see a quick change or no change at all, you should know your ideas are valued. In this case we have been able to accommodate two out of the three requests.
1) Thousand Island dressing has been added to our selection which includes Ranch, Blue Cheese, Honey-Mustard, Italian and Caesar.
2) We have added some pretty tasty Fried Shrimp served with Cocktail Sauce to our list of entrees.

Thank you all for your suggestions

and keep them coming!

Homemade Honey Mustard Dressing

-

Okay, so there is a little more to it then just Honey and Mustard but not much. You'll be able to taste the goodness of these two key ingredients in our homemade Honey Mustard dressing. Great on a side salad yes, but why limit yourself. Try it as a dip for our crispy chicken tenders instead of gravy for a sweet alternative.
