First of all - glad to hear you're okay. Second, in all seriousness, what are you doing about that? Remembering to be extra careful doesn't cut if with this kind of thing. As someone who experienced organizations that are top notch with safety experience fatalities, you need to make an adjustment so that type of thing is flat out impossible in the future. Anything less and you are doing yourself and your employees a disservice.

Really pumped for Friday night. Me and a bunch of guys are going to be riding bikes over there around 8ish. Turns out I have friends on like 5 teams, so should be getting a solid sneak peak of the food I'm going to miss on saturdayEta: and for the ripple of course

Glad you're ok.
I don't remember hearing you say you moved the thermometer to a safer location also.
As others closer to you have said, you need to rest. Be the "Media Who re Face of the Franchise" and let your best people have a chance to step up with an opportunity to succeed and gain your trust. It's a marathon not a sprint GB. Be well.

I've been following along in here for years now, knowing that if I ever got to New Orleans and Tipsy followed through on his dream I'd have to make sure and stop in for a great meal. And now I'm a mere 4 days from making it a reality. I'm bringing myself and 6 other hungry mouths on by this Sunday afternoon. I absolutely can't wait! Tipsy- I know you occasionally close up shop for a day every once in awhile and I just wanted to make sure that Sunday being the day after Hogs For the Cause wraps up, that you'll be open. Normal hours that day?
Also, still selling those shirts at the restaurant? I'm off to Mexico on a cruise following the coming weekend in NOLA and I'd be more than happy to snap off a pic wearing one of your shirts next to some Mayan ruins or something of the like.

I would have loved to but we don't get in until Saturday evening and already have prior plans made. If there's any time in there to stop by I'll be pushing for it.

Reporting live from the BBQ Mecca right now!
HFS! 3 plates of all meat, all sides and an extra pint of the 4 cheese macaroni! Had a tough crowd to please with 2 teens and a preteen plus 4 adults and everyone loved everything. Fantastic food and it lived up every bit to the considerable hype I gave it going in.

I imagine poor tipsy was passed out cold from fighting the elements all weekend at Hogs for the Cause.

FWIW, I just thought I'd mention I went to Hogs event.
It was great - muddy, tough to park, occasionally hot, really crowded (the numbers must have been fantastic), tough to get beer - but great.
Hit McClures, hit the ribs, awesome, just awesome. Delicious.

Went as well on Friday night and Saturday. Got to chill with Neil for a beer or so and hang b/w the rainstorms. I ended up going with the Boudin Balls on saturday, were solid. The event was great, but it's really almost overwhelming with all of the food...very hard to pick what to eat b/c it was so good...so I decided to go with some items that I didn't think I could find "normally".SaintsInDome2006 said:

hi....been working my tail off....biz is good...people continue to love it...I think I may be on to something here if I can just get my food costs under control...a difficult feat considering the price of all of my proteins right now...beef was 2.25 in december...it is 3.42 right now for my briskets per pound. Pork is up from 1.10 or so to 2.00 a pound. I hated to do it...but I had to raise prices across the board.
Memphis in May is coming....kind of wish I wasn't disappearing for a week from the restaurant but the time away will be good for me. I will probably close the restaurant for 2 to 3 days so my staff isn't stretched too thin in my absence. I've never been out of the place for more than a day at this point and barely that. I have confidence in them but It is still tough to let go already.

DrudgeReport had a headline that beef and pork prices were at an all time high or something like that. Glad to hear you didn't die tipsy. Hope you're recovered from that concussion. They're no joke. It took me a solid 2.5 months before I was totally back to normal. What was weird was that I thought I was fine only to realize later that the concussion really had affected me more than I thought.

I hit up McClure's on Friday for lunch with the family while on vacation. All meats + all sides is definitely the way to go. Everything was delicious, and my picky kids had me order more chicken just for them. I picked up a shirt as well although I had to get a medium as they were out of large. Time for the post-NOLA diet!
Great to see you again, Neil. Enjoy MIM - I think the time away will be good too.

Awesome job so far! I manage an established 50 yr family business/niche restaurant. Hot dog sales are it's flagship but I've worked to expand it. Meat prices are insane. Onion prices are insane. Best advice is to shop incessantly, look to save on every aspect, papers, etc. It will take you away from the hands on but that's where your training comes in. As one very wise older gent well versed in the restaurant biz once told me, you will make more money at the price you buy it than at what price you sell it. Probably applies more so now than when he said those words.

Congrats on the nice Press again Tipsey! Love the genuine Facebook updates.
I've been there a few times. Always liked it a lot. Wish I was closer to New Orleans. I'd love to visit McClure's. I haven't had a great brisket in a while.By the way, you live in Michigan, correct? Don't you have to be from Ohio to come to the NC/SC beaches?
