Holy hell!

Today’s 37 years. Right here. For you. Family owned and operated (along with the most glorious generations of coworkers you could ever imagine. Current generation ranks particularly high on the list!) all the way through. Thank you to all who have entered, sat a while, brought a tale, shared a laugh, dropped a tear, made a slow night memorable and a busy night bearable. Thank you Athens. Thank you. Onwards!

No true celebrations happening today, but if you get a wild hair, come have an Oktoberfest b**r (warsteiner or paulaner?) or a diner burger for old times sake. Thank you once more.

37 years. This month (the 29th) will be 37 damn years of Globe. Right here. It’s plenty enough time. We’ve had a great run. All of you reading this might’ve come through our doors. Maybe you’ve only known us from afar. Maybe your parents spent their formative years here. Maybe you spent the moments before your wedding here. Maybe your post graduate party was at our largest table. Maybe the moments after you realized you could no longer afford your dream you fell into our couch in the front corner. Maybe you met the one of your dreams across our dining room. Maybe you sampled something that took you beyond our walls even though you still sat with your elbows propped on our marble bar top. Maybe being here inspired you to do something or build something or create a whole world of your own. Maybe it just made you want to get a job here. Maybe you loved an hour here so you chase that hour every time you return. Maybe you hated five minutes here so you return to banish those minutes to the depths of some scotch burnt hell. There’s a chance you met a vampire here on Halloween. And they seduced you. And partook of your blood. And you’re cursed to wander our hallway (short as it may be…how boring!) in search of that memory forever until someone new rids you of your eternal ailment. Maybe you saw a famous face here. Maybe you did your best to ignore them but it still made you feel a bit more interesting than you felt before (no, you were always that way). Maybe you love the food of the kitchen. The wit, patience and bite of our crew. Maybe you don’t care a tick about a thing. Maybe you escape. Maybe you write. Maybe you dream. Maybe you’ve made friends with us. Maybe we will be friends forever. Maybe, and just maybe, and it will be thanks to you, we will see you for our 38th birthday in 2027. Thank you all. No celebration necessary. Just celebrate yourselves. Get every business in this town to their next anniversary. The only celebration that could mean a thing. Thank ayouuuuuuu.

There is live jazz tonight (and every Thursday you crazy one!) from mary and the hot hotty hots! It starts soonish. Come along, one and all.

Hiring! Our kitchen is growing and we are looking for you! If you want to join our crew, come say hello and bring a résumé. Experience is a big plus, obviously. Interesting taste in music and movies works really well in our books. Agility and endurance, also good. Ability to work closely with others while keeping yourself and those others safe, that won’t hurt your chances at all.

It’s a kitchen in downtown Athens. We work hard and we do our best to keep it light. It can be intense and busy, and it can be slow and quiet. It’s a kitchen. We are incredibly proud of the people we have working with us and are excited about the opportunity to grow our numbers. Sound any good at all? Come on by.

It is Labor Day. It is gray and pretty. You’re still in bed. The sleep is in your eyes and in your hair a little. You deserved a good rest. But when youre up and a little hungry, we will be here. And the w**e you like will be half priced as it is each Monday. And the grill side afternoon might just get rained out. But we have cheeseburgers for you in case. And we will handle the clean up.

Thank you for this weekend. Everyone was brilliantly behaved and in lovely and spirited moods.

Now this is worthwhile. An enormous thank you!

Just a very quick round of a applause for the dumpsters directly in front of one of our greatest landmarks and next to our most wonderful pharmacy and perfectly adjacent to one of our most athensy bars. I swear we can all do just a little bit better. And now I’ll shut up for a million years.
