Awesome, dude! So friggin' jealous that you're able to do something you truly love.How did you do from a 'business' perspective yesterday? Did you make money, run out of food, estimate your crowd flow well?

Cooked one pig...paid for 2.5 more. Perfect. Could have fed another 20 people probably...but for popping up out of the blue on FaT Tuesday night...awesome turnout.

Just made another must for my appetizer list (not available until i'm in my own space).... Barbecue Potato Skins: Baked potatoes with insides taken out and mixed with 4 cheeses, butter, milk, sour cream, bacon, pulled pork, rib meat, green onions, salt, pepper, creole seasoning, and then overly stuffed back into the now fried potato boats. Top with more of the 4 cheeses and bake until cheese browning. Picture on facebook later.I'm :X that I don't get to put some of that

Just outstanding Tipsey. Just found that our huge conference of the year in 2013 will be in New Orleans. Although I'll be coming in before then, we'll for sure be out in force at this conference. Let's talk catering gigs...

Hey GB, just booked my hotel for the weekend. Going to be at Okeefe downtown. Kinda a dive but at 140 for a downtown/quarter room with 2 beds (in case my buddy comes) it was my best option. Unfortunately I waited too long and the Mariotts on Canal were no longer taking Mariott Rewards for that weekend. Something big is going on because I can't find #### for rooms under 250-300 night. Oof. Anyways.... i'm in for sure. Still waiting to hear from my buddy on if he's in.
Question: Do you get credit for tickets sold? If so that link is a generic one... I'd assume they'd give you a dedicated link so they could track who's buying tickets throughyou?

Yep. It's a bit outside of town.Head West, about 80 minutes or so. Google 'McClures' and ask for Neil (goes by Tipsy). He'll hook you up.Really - It looked further on a map. That is great news and I think McClure's is in my future then in April...I've never been to Biloxi before. Any BBQ there?

. I love BBQ (smokin' a butt as we speak) but can't spend 3 or 4 hours every day driving to and from NOLA. 1 day, absolutely.

Never been happier Otis. My biggest fears all these years has been the stress I know comes with the opening of a place + the new stress of being on the financial hook for it + the amount of time spent working usually average around 70 hours a week minimum for a new place (that survives anyway). Haven't really paid myself anything except gas and a couple of meals out for myself, but am not losing money...so that stress is out of the way for the moment. Having a wife with an income sufficient to pay the mortgage and most of the other bills, so that has been a huge relief in a way...but i'm still draining the funds we do have and will need to rectify that soon.Opening this has been easier than you might imagine...i'm in an already operation restaurant and need only bring my own supplies. So until I start a build out & get close to a "real" opening in my own building that stress has been minimal.I have been putting in the hours. 1 am to 3 pm is standard, with a dinner on tuesday night just to lengthen that day to a full 20+ hours. I do have time to get kids to school & from school, feed them dinner & get ready for bed before I pass out & wife shows up from her job. I don't see much of her on the weekdays, since i go to bed immediately when she gets home...but we have weekends together for the first time in our 16 years. That has been the biggest change in my life...adjusting to being home two whole days with the entire family.So, easy opening, money problems havent been a problem, and my hours are balanced by more time with family while awake than any point in my adult life.'Otis said:
