So before this crazy weekend starts I wanted to show you these guys. These ARE the guys. The people that show up to work when others can’t come in, the people that right the wrongs that only they can see. The people that are so good at their job that I try to do stuff that they’ve already thought of. It is such an honor and a pleasure to work with Rose and Paul.
I just wanted you know their names and please say hello when you see them this weekend. They are making sure you have a great long weekend!!!

Lots of things to show you- lots of choices to make! Open at 7 in the morning we have special bloody Mary’s for only $5. I added a fresh peach tart today to our dessert menu so that would mean right now we have gf chocolate mousse cake, gf peanut butter pie, caramel cheesecake (but by morning we might have moved on to fresh strawberry swirl) and a fresh peach tart with whipped bourbon cream. I also have a pretty peach ricotta cake ready to go for tomorrow. We looked for fragrant peaches everywhere and I have to say the veggie stand on the left side of 72 were so helpful! I had been looking for peaches all week and as soon I smelled them she said “oh so you want ripe peaches”. I’ll get them for you myself”. And she was not wrong!!!
So we have delicious breakfast first thing, amazing cocktails to compliment and luscious fresh desserts for every palette. See you tomorrow!!
