🩷 FIGHT. SUPPORT. REMEMBER. 🩷

If you know Shorty’s, you know Kim.

She’s loud. She’s stubborn. She’ll probably tell us this post is too much. 😂 She expects a lot, works her ass off, has about 47 ideas going at once, and “good enough” usually isn’t in her vocabulary.

She’s also a breast cancer survivor.

And around here, we don’t sugarcoat that.

Cancer sucked.

It interrupted a life that already had plans. It brought fear, anger, scars, uncertainty, and a whole new definition of what “normal” looks like.

And even now, while her body is still recovering, she shows up for our crew 1000%.

She supports us. Pushes us. Backs us. Checks on us. Fights for us.

She somehow manages to carry other people even on days when she’s still carrying the weight of what her own body has been through.

That’s Kim.

Not perfect.
Not polished.
Not interested in inspirational bu****it.

Just tough as hell and still showing up.

Building businesses. Feeding people. Supporting this community. Driving her crew crazy. Dreaming up the next thing before we’ve finished the last one. 😂

So October at Shorty’s isn’t about making everything pink and pretending cancer is pretty.

It’s about the people fighting.
The people who survived.
The families standing beside them.
And the people we remember.

And yeah — it’s about our boss too.

Because she went through hell, her body is still healing, and she still gives everything she has to the people around her.

FIGHT. SUPPORT. REMEMBER. 🩷

That’s Shorty’s Strong.💪🏼

👀 See that empty fridge?

It won’t be empty for long.

We’ve been cooking.
We’ve been testing.
And we’ve been building something for quick lunches & nights when you’re hungry, tired, busy… and absolutely not cooking.

And we couldn’t do it without some pretty darn good people behind us.

Big shoutout to our local vendors and producers supplying us with amazing products so we can turn around and put them on YOUR table.

That’s what local is supposed to look like.
Local businesses supporting local businesses — then feeding our community with it.

Affordable. Real food. Made right here.
Grab it. Take it. Heat it up. Handled.

🔥 The Shorty’s To Go fridge is coming to life.

Now tell us… what homemade meal are you hoping to find inside? 👇

🏐🔥 THE WILD SIDE CREW IS COMPLETE! 🔥🏐

We’re rounding out this season’s Wild Side lineup with Brooke’s creation…

💥 THE TRIPLE DOUBLE THREAT WRAP 💥

Brooke #12 brought the volleyball energy and built a wrap that hits from every angle:

🌯 Tomato basil wrap
🔥 Crispy chicken
🥓 Bacon
🌶️ Buffalo sauce
🍅 Sun-dried tomatoes
💛 Banana peppers
🥬 Lettuce + cheese

It’s bold. It’s got some heat. And it officially joins our Wild Side creations for the season!

The best part? When you order from our Wild Side menu, you’re supporting the local college athletes who created them. 💙💛

Brooke’s Triple Double Threat Wrap rounds out this season’s crew alongside Jack, Dontay & Taryn — four athletes, four completely different creations, one seriously fun lineup.

🏐 #12 is officially on the menu.

Come try Brooke’s creation and tell us: Which Wild Side creation is taking the championship this season? 👀🔥

💙 THIS is what the Wild Side is all about.

It’s pretty cool when the people in our community don’t just cheer for our college athletes on game day — they show up and support them off the field, too.

Jack happened to be at Shorty’s when these awesome customers ordered his YAC Attack, his very own Wild Side creation. He got to stop over, grab a picture, and personally thank them for giving it a try. 🙌

And YOU can support our athletes the exact same way.

When you order one of our athlete-created Wild Side items, a portion of that sale goes directly back to the student-athlete who created it. So you’re not just ordering lunch or dinner — you’re supporting a local college athlete, their creativity, and the work they’re putting in both on and off the field.

🏈 Jack #2 — YAC Attack
🏈 Dontay #3 — Six Pack Stack
⚽ Taryn — her sweet Wild Side Cheese Curds

🏐 AND COMING SOON…
Brooke’s TRIPLE DOUBLE THREAT WRAP! 🔥🔥🔥
Another athlete. Another original Wild Side creation. Another way to support our local college athletes just by eating something awesome.

Keep watching — Brooke’s bringing her game to the Shorty’s menu, and this one is going to be FIRE 🔥

Eat local. Support local. Support our athletes. 💙💛

Come in. Try their creations. Find your favorite. And when you see one of our athletes around Shorty’s, say hi! They genuinely appreciate seeing the community get behind them.

This is exactly what we hoped these partnerships would become — local business supporting local athletes, and our community supporting both. 💙💛

🔥 IT’S GAME DAY 🔥

We’re extra fired up today because two of our Shorty’s guys are taking the field — #2 Jack Smith & #3 Dontay Johnson! These guys have been awesome to work with, and we’re proud to have them as part of the Shorty’s crew.

Before, during, or after the game, swing into Shorty’s and fuel up with THEIR creations:

⚡ Jack’s YAC Attack — loaded, messy, and built to bring the yards after catch energy.

🔥 Dontay’s Six Pack Stack — chicken, bacon, cheese & waffles stacked up and finished with that sweet heat. This thing doesn’t play defense.

And remember — when you order their creations, a portion kicks back to the student-athlete who created it. Eat local. Support local. Support the guys. 💪

Now handle business, fellas.

GOOD LUCK 🍀.
LET’S GO JACKS! 🐰💙💛🏈

🏈💥 TEAMMATES SUPPORTING TEAMMATES.

Look who stopped into Shorty’s and backed his guy! 👀

Jace #91 came in hungry and went straight for Dontay #3’s SIX PACK STACK. 🧇🍗🔥

Waffles. Crispy chicken. Hot honey maple glaze.
It’s sweet. It’s spicy. It’s absolutely ridiculous — in the best way. 🤯

We LOVE seeing these guys show up for each other on the field and at Shorty’s. 💙💛

And remember — when you order one of our student-athlete Wild Side creations, a portion goes directly back to the athlete who created it.

So Jace wasn’t just crushing lunch…
#91 was backing #3. 👊🔥

Who’s taking on the SIX PACK STACK next?!

🐾 GO JACKS!
