Febu-already?!

Where the hell does the time go!?? My last post was in September?!? I should try to work on that. It is currently February of 2012 and I am still waiting for things to slow down!! I recently released a winter menu, and although it was about a month later than I was hoping to have it out, I think it's one of the best menus to date! Valentine's day was 2 days ago and we had a sold out service on a Tuesday night, not bad at all! Unfortunately I didn't get any photos of the food, which bums me out because it was a good looking menu!
