McClure's BBQ (3 Viewers)

Just seeing this Tipsy. Definitely in for some funding help if it will be good for you. Still fondly remember having beers when you were touring the East Coast. Sorry to hear about the troubles. Always try to steer people your way when they go to NOLA. 

 
I guess I should have thought more seriously about a kickstarter with y'all....    I'm not too good at asking for help I guess.

But....

I have a new silent partner...should become official on Monday.  Going to bring BBQ full time soon.  

He is buying in for a % and looking for a building to buy and get us selling bbq & drinks.  And he is thinking bigger than I ever really did.   More to follow....phase 4 of journey has begun I guess 😳

Finally making good on my plans to visit NOLA - will be there from 3/6 for a week or so.  Will definitely be hitting McClure's during the visit. 

You're on the rotating menu now, if I'm reading the website right - e.g., Wednesday BBQ?

hope to be back to full time bbq options by then.   this current menu is really hard to deal with in this space when we are busy.   so at least on the weekends ill have the bbq.

That’s great news! Just be careful not to get too big and overextended. 

 
Make sure you give us the info as soon as it becomes public. Whenever someone I know heads to NO, I try to push them your way, and I am sure that I am not alone in this activity!

Being bigger should enable me to hire more to cover some of my 80+ hours...that and drink profits.

Remember to have iced tea on the menu GB! (Not that you'd forget, given the number if times you've ranted about it over the years).

Depending on location and setup I'd consider draft (craft) on tap, particularly if you get anything like the terrace setup NOLA brewery has, or a small yard in front/back. That might get some extra weekday afternoon traffic

definitely.   I'll still have some bud & miller lite around...but only in bottles.   $2 longnecks all day everyday.  Or something like that anyway.  Will definitely be hitting as many local guys on the tap list as I can if the space is right.   And yes....iced tea 🤣🤣🤣

One thing I won't do....I won't ever be open 7 days again.   Ridiculous way to live.

Congrats.   Do you mind if I ask if this came about through a random person approaching you?  Random conversation?  Intentional introduction?  Just curious and very happy for you.

Fellow dad at kids school....we are in the mens club together and were watching football with a few other dads when my semi-buzzed emotionally drained self told them all how close I was to pulling the plug.   I had no idea he was a potential investor or even had an inkling he was in that kind of financial position...i was just pouring my heart out amongst friends.   He said lets talk.   We did.   He does this investing stuff for a living it turns out.

Luck?  Providence? Coincidence?    I dunno....but I do know if I hadn't have found him or something else by the middle of January I would have called it quits and used the rest of cash I had to pay my staff and any bills I could.   Craziness.

 
Catching up on this... glad to hear about the recent 'ups' in light of the previous 'downs'.

Have not made it down to try the food but I will say that my McLure's tshirt is my absolute favorite shirt that my girlfriend regularly steals. 

 
Congrats GB, visiting your place is still on my bucket list.  I have recommended your place to several acquaintances that were visiting NO, and everyone that went could not give you and your food enough kudos. And it is looking like I may be able to get to NO in the fall.  😊

There is a great joke in here somewhere about a guy investing in another guy's meat while at the men's club, but I can't seem to put it all together.... :)

Congrats. Hope to get down there sometime and try some of your BBQ.  :thumbup:

BBQ coming back to the daily menu as well.   Starting Ash Wednesday.   Some of the healthy stuff the brewery was on me to change to will stay as well.   They actually balance off some of the high food cost with the bbq, so cool.   It is what I do...stick with it McClure.

Let us know when you have gear! (Hugely important for you, I know!!)  :towelwave:

So, on a day when a lot of people won't eat meat, you decide to do a reboot of BBQ???  Did you think this through?
