- July 30, 2011Hey Bonnie! I see you've been here sibnce '08. How is the restaurant going? I hope we can share some ideas - and recipes - here. I'm relatively new to C-E-S, but I've found that the more you put in, the more you get back. Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Amos1 reply
- July 30, 2011Hi! Sadly, I didn't open my place as the property had environmental contamination that was not disclosed during the sale process as required by law, so I am now trying to get my investment back. Not fun, plus I'd put my heart into the place, was creating a great vibe in there, good menu--sooo hard to let go. :(
- June 14, 2010Hi! I'm currently in the process of opening my own breakfast & lunch place in Redwood City, CA, so am trying to keep a few secret recipes until I get established. I definitely plan to contribute to this site in the future, though!
