Denver is calling me....i love me some Denver. We can call it the All Smoked Out Festival. I'll just detour at Des Moines and circle back.

That's about solid 3 weeks of work for your $5k goal. Hopefully you time is worth more than that.
Sure sounds like fun though.

how about we just stay on the shorline...unless you have a barge...my pit weighs over 2000

nah...just two weeks....and the restaurant would stay open and I'd get to eat at about 14 different legends of bbq on my list of places i haven't. And it would probably gross more like 7500 if just 30 came out for each one.
I'd also win all the cash at each poker game we had while i watched the fire.

add Cleveland to the list and pull in the PA and NY guys who would at least have a landing place closer than Chicago.......

Not to mention he should get more than $5k. If we do $50/head and 50 per spot, that's $2500 each city.

all big ifs. i think getting 50 to pay 50 for my bbq is crazy. i just like spitballing the idea...

I hope it works out like that for him. I know ICON has all kinds of potential guests for MIM throughout the year but most never show. People always say IN until it conflicts with their mother-in-law's birthday or kid's soccer game.

Let's do it here. TIA

There are bunches of FFA guys here in the DC area. Not sure what he had against DC itself in the initial posting about the BBQ fundraiser, but...

We could hook it up with a hockey game as well

You know all of you guys want to get out of that horrific humidity. A beautiful day in So Cal feasting on Tipsey's Q followed by a cool, dry evening with beers, cigars, etc would be a blast. Or, I can get on a plane and sweat at every location not named Denver already mentioned. Just sayin'....

Perfect excuse to finally get out and see the mile high city. Maybe do some fantasy league drafts while there (along with q, poker, and booze)?.
I'd also love to hike Denver's mountains.

I should have done this before I opened this location.....
In all seriousness...I wish I could take 4-5 weeks and come cook for all of y'all.

i was looking at the extended route ....chicago to minneapolis...down to des moines...over to denver...down to santa fe...over to phoenix...back to austin. Dad lives in Prescott...he would crap himself if I pulled in with my pit and 40 fbg's out of the blue

Training my partner in how to do everything in the restaurant right now. This is his first morning on the clock so to speak. This is a move to make any expansion easier. I have to accept that I can only be the man in one location and that I need people that have the restaurants back at the end of the day.

bump....some more wheels started spinning last night. i'll explain more in a bit. lets just say its a bigger possibility that my 2nd location is actually 100 miles away....actually....my hometown needs one...mainly so I have an excuse to go see my mom more. It has been put on the long range planning.... my partner has visions of his music production company hiring bands to make a circuit from houston to destin. he of course wants mcbbq to come along for the ride.Congrats On the success Tipsy!Was selfishly hoping for a Pensacola store

YES.
Careful with this unless you've built a quality clone / airtight system. Magazine can start to suffer fast if you're mind is 100 miles away. :(

Here's some unsolicited advice from someone who works for a small business founder who is expanding rapidly...
If you don't have clear processes for everything, in writing and tested/trained employees who know these in and out, you shouldn't expand. You can't be in 2 places at once. Expansion should only come after you've been able to take yourself out of the first location and prove to yourself your team can handle it themselves.
Many people expand and don't realize that THEY are the one keeping everything running together.

You want to set a food truck up around these parts, I'd be happy to be one of the backers. A BBQ Truck has huge potential over here.

No question. Brooklyn or Manhattan. Midtown around lunch hour? $$$$$$$$
There is a cool bar called union pool that at night has a food truck (taco truck) parked in the huge outdoor yard. It's busy all night on the weekends. Ideal scenario would be lunchtime in midtown manhattan, evenings as part of some bar in Williamsburg.
Profit.

Lots of folks do it as their first step and make $$$$. Tipsy is ahead of the game...
Opening a food truck in manhattan would be an insane second step from a 1yr old small first location in New Orleans.

I don't think you understand how BBQ works... He has a process. It's not like teaching someone to make pizza of a sandwich. It's a ~10 hour long process that's as much art as science.
If he's going to put his name on it, he'd need a guy who has worked in his process for long enough to have it down, and be willing to move up to manhattan, and be willing to ship back a portion of the proceeds rather than striking out on his own (the Mcclures brand doesn't really carry much equity there yet). Tipsy ain't moving to manhattan.
This is purely my .02 but branching out into a sales vehicle he's unfamiliar with, in a region he's unfamiliar with... Thousands of miles from his primary location. Crazy Move IMO.
