St. Louis Style ribs I am turning out in 3 hours at 225 in my commercial smoker.
Save those badges from Eggfests.
Walk in order, all meat is in open view. Pick your sides, Pick up and pay. Get your drink.
I am so humble. :woohoo: :woohoo:
Sit down tables.
More Egg related gifts need to be put on shelves, more pictures framed and put out.
Served about 30, made mistakes. Will serve about 30 tomorrow. This is a "Dry Run". Only friends and family b/c I can't charge until I get my permits. (Tuesday). Turned over 100 away from the smoke smell. .
Hopefully will have better pics later. I am beat.

Looking great, Mike.
Hey, I will try to call Sunday, when you are resting. -
Thanks Clark,
Call anytime, I will be honest if I don't have time to talk. I found a new trick. OMG, this good.
I need to make a few trial runs.
Mike -
I'm on call tomorrow and already have 3 fractured hips to put to sleep starting at 7:30 am. Will try to give a call between them or after I'm done with 'em. :(
-
Looks fantastic Mike! More power to you!! Hope to see that dining room FULL next week!! Tell those inspectors to come and inpect...NOW!! :laugh: Wish you the absolute BEST with it!
-
Thanks Michelle, it means a lot to me.
Mike -
Dang I wish I could be there!!! It looks great Mike and trial runs are just for that reason to get the bugs out turning people away is good! hopefully there were local and will talk about the smell and wanting to go back to others. hugs !!
-
You can't drag yourself away from that nice weather. Don't blame yu.
Thx, one more trial run today.
Mike -
Mike you will be fine. Most BBQ joints are pretty sad. One of the better one's in OKC has great sides but the meat is pretty bland.
You will do well because you love to cook and that will show through once you get down how to cook for more that 100.
You have your Q down just make sure to keep the sides top notch and along with you great BBQ you will do very well.
Just be yourself and that should be all you need! -
Thanks, I think we have a great line up of sides.
Mike -
Looking good Mike!! I like the colors you chose. How bout those ribs. Your thoughts compared to your expert egg ribs? Texture, taste, ect.Molly

Great job Mike...it looks like you are getting it under way in great style.
-
Thanks Kim, I am looking forward to getting open.
I always did cook to much for myself, so I thought why not sell the rest.
Mike -
Thanks Dan for everything. If you come to the KC Fest I will be cooking some of the smoked meat I am selling.
Mike -
I am putting out a great spare rib. The baby backs are not close to what I can do on an egg. So I am getting ready to throw on a couple more slabs right now.
The sausage I am serving is off the charts, but it has more to do with the quality of sausage than the smoker.
Mike -
Things look great Mike, best of luck. I was born into the restaurant business- it's a Greek birthright- and know how hard the business is. Bottom line, great product, consistency, and word-of-mouth advertisement will carry you through. Of course, a little BGE associated love can't hurt ya. Keep us posted.
-
Thanks Ted,
Agree 100 % on everything you said.
Especially the consistency.
Mike -
Wow Mike, I am impressed! How did the inspections go? -RP
-
There damm well be a picture of me behind the counter!!I spent most of my money on good bourbon, and bad women...the rest, I just wasted!!
-
Thanks Randy, Kim and you need to give me your names badges from OKC to hang in the window.
Health Dept is good, City won't be here until tomorrow AM.
Thx again,
Mike -
Thanks Evans, things do look great. :evil: Send me some Chubby Love Good Luck and a pic.
Save those name badges.

Mike, looks like a great place. I had no idea you were doing this. Good for you! I've heard it's a lot of hard work, and from the looks of it, you've already put in a few hours. Very nice job and I wish you great success. I just wish I could come eat there!
-
I hope it turns into what you wanted it to be, and also successful.
Ross -
Mike ,the place looks great! Good luck to you!
I wish I could do that! -
