From my first paying customer to my right-hand man 🤘 the world works in weird ass ways!

Eddie got back from Florida and within a week was working full time with me over here slangin’ BBQ. Since then, this man has stepped up, taken the lead, and crushed every part of his role.

Tonight, he grabbed the trailer, hooked it up, and headed over to the brewery to run a great service with Isabelle, while I prepped the truck for tomorrows event and also allowing me the time to go to the kiddo’s fall fest at school. Seeing him take ownership and handle it means more to me than he probably knows.

I appreciate EVERY person on this team who keeps showing up, stepping up, and growing with me. Shout out to Dawn, Addyson, Eddie, Tom, Isabelle and Big Kev for keeping things rockin’ on the Appleton side of things!! This thing couldn’t be what it is without y’all.

Hopefully anyone who ate tonight, enjoyed their dinner!! Appreciate you all too!

🚨 New Menu Alert 🚨

First things first…..I don’t wanna hear it about the Mac and cheese 🤣🤣🤣 now that we are past that ………. Starting next week at Ope North we are going to be launching a brand new menu. This menu also may be used randomly throughout the year depending on feedback.

Why you might ask????

Well……..for multiple reasons, the first one being we need to be prepared to serve throughout the winter via the trailer and the trailer is limited on equiptment and what it can all do. We want to have items that we can ensure won’t run out so we are never 100% out of food. Lastly, I cannot work the trailer forever so we wanted to ensure, anyone who was working the trailer would be able to execute the menu and be consistent, every time. Things like the Mac and cheese seem like a no brainer but the Mac and cheese we put on the truck is far different than most places who just go get bagged Mac and cheese that turns to mush overtime and still gets served.

With that being said, I do think this menu looks and feels super good, I think it’s a fun and unique hybrid of the restaraunt and food truck with a unique twist on some of the stuff we’ve simply been doing forever. We kept the staples (brisket, pork, sausage, beans and cornbread) and crafted them into a twisted menu of sandwiches, loaded cups, walking tacos and loaded dogs.

Nothing is set in stone and I’m sure this is not the last change you will see.

Now…….Keep in mind we will be running this alongside SPECIALS we’ve been working on when we can such as:

- Texas Twinkies right off the smoker
- BBQ Flatbreads & Pizza’s (been testing for a while, still trying to dial it in)
- Pig Wings (amazing if you’ve never had em’)
- Our Brisket Chili (the best in my mom’s eyes)
- Smoked Mac bowls (as a special)
- Loaded Smoked Potatoes (crowd favorite when it gets cold)
- And others I’m sure……

Let me know what you think ā¬‡ļø

Hi, Dustin here.......

I KNOW alot of you applied through our link we posted, I promise i have recieved everyones application. Good news, I have not reached out to ANYONE as of yet, because i have to get through the next week or so of events before I can even think about trying to bring someone on and training them lol.

However, expect me to start reaching out because we certainly will need a few in the coming months.

With that said, if you are interested in just simply being "on-call" for catering jobs and random needs, please reach out because i could use those immediately, if you are looking for something a bit more permanent, be patient and I promise to get ahold of you as soon as i catch up!

Tonight was a little bit of a FIRST for us out at Ope North. šŸ˜‚

This was the first night we rocked the big truck without Teddy, who is usually kind of the captain of that kitchen and knows that truck inside and out.

Soooooo…..there may have been a few ticket times that ran a little longer than what you guys are used to from us.

BUT I gotta give my man Eddie some serious credit.

We opened the window and within about TEN MINUTES we were 19 tickets deep and officially in the weeds.

And here’s the crazy part…

Eddie hasn’t even EATEN most of the food off that truck before, let alone been the guy responsible for cooking and getting all of it out.

He legit got thrown directly into the fire lol

But……he adapted, we adapted. He figured it out. He kept moving. And most importantly, he didn’t panic when I was throwing up tickets nonstop.

Before we knew it, we had worked our way through the entire board and got everything out with some pretty damn respectable ticket times considering the absolute ass kicking we took right out of the gate.

That’s how you learn. That’s how you build a team. Sometimes you just gotta get thrown into the pool and figure out how to swim.

So big shoutout to Eddie tonight. He absolutely crushed it.

And THANK YOU to everyone who came through, hung out, grabbed some dinner and gave us a little patience while we worked through the rush.

Hopefully everyone enjoyed their food!

We’ll make a few adjustments, get a little better every single service, and do it all over again tomorrow.

See you tomorrow at the ole Ope. 🤘
