This will be a busy weekend with parties. We have one Friday night which we will be closed for. Then we will be doing a lunch party Saturday. I’m trying to come up with a plan on if I want to open Saturday evening for dinner, knowing I may be exhausted after running 2 large parties in the span of 24 hours.
However if we do open Saturday night the menu will be smoked and fried chicken related. Even thought about redoing certain fast food items and selling them at similar prices. Mac and cheese bowls (buffalo, mango habanero, bbq chicken), mashed potato bowls with chicken gravy and corn maybe cheese. Maybe rice bowls.
Good food takes a lot of prep work, trying to do multiple menus can be challenging. I’m interested to see how the reaction would be to a chicken menu, because I like the idea of cooking with feeling rather than repetition. Maybe my chicken could give Schaefers a run for their money. Unfortunately I’m not able to taste what I’m trying to defeat, but maybe that means I try even harder and if I did taste it, it would be easier than I thought and wouldn’t need to push myself so hard.
