It's Wednesday. You know what that means. So do I. Nobody lets me act on it.

Pizza Night at Ryan's Creek House:

20% off all pizzas
Blue Moon on draft: $3.50 for a 22oz, $9 pitchers

And if you'd rather your pizza come folded, rolled, and sealed shut like a secret, the stromboli is calling. Same dough, same sauce, everything tucked inside where it belongs. Nothing falls off, which is bad news for me personally.

Chef B has the night off. His crew has the kitchen. Fine. I know them.

Still no answers on Sunday's mystery. Who was that Karson kid. He's gone now. Mentioned his driver's license and drove off into the sunset, apparently. And tonight there's a new one. Answers to "Devon." Racing around the kitchen like he's in a go-kart. Took the corner by the fryer on two wheels. Nobody introduced us. As former Head of Recruiting, I was not consulted. Who was that Karson kid. Who is this Devon kid. Who. Who.

I am beginning to sound like an owl. I blame both of them.

I've had the pizza. Once. Kari's fault. I've never had the stromboli. I'm told that's "on purpose."

Come in tonight. Order one for the table and one for the pug. Kidding. Mostly.

The Falcons won last night, and Chef B is being gracious about it. That's only because the Steelers already beat them in Week 1, and the owner is a Falcons fan who has been through enough.

So he's running our award-winning Bama White Sauce tonight, a southern classic for a southern team that finally remembered how to play.

He's being nice to everyone. Almost everyone.

On the board:

Jumbo whole wings
Boneless wings, for those who fear commitment
Any sauce on the menu, or tonight's Bama White

On draft, $3 / 22oz or $5 pitcher:

Yuengling L***r
Yuengling Flight
Yuengling Oktoberfest, because it's October and we have standards

Kari, better known as Red, is behind the bar pouring all three. She's the only person here who has ever shared her pizza with me, and she supports my appeal. Unfortunately, her authority covers the bar and the servers. Bones fall under kitchen jurisdiction. She has promised to lobby.

The appeal: I applied for Head of Bone Disposal. Management denied me, citing "the health code" and "you are a dog." Both are technically true, and neither is relevant. I am appealing.

Wings are dine-in only. They don't travel well. Neither do I. Come sit down, order a dozen, and keep the bones where I can see them.

🔥 MONDAYS KEEP KICKIN’ AT RYAN’S 🔥

That’s right…
🍗 $1 CHICKEN FINGERS ALL MONDAY LONG 🍗

Order as many as you want — dunk ’em in your favorite sauces and don’t look back.
➕ Extra sauces available for $0.75 each (worth it, trust us).

Mondays don’t stand a chance.
Neither do these fingers.

🔥🍔 MONDAY BURGER FEATURE — NO REST FOR THE HUNGRY 🍔🔥

Week started?
Good. Let’s ruin your self-control early.

🍔 20% OFF house-ground STEAK burgers
➕ DOUBLE IT for $8 — because one patty is just a suggestion

Juicy. Messy. Built like it has something to prove.

🍺 Iron City drafts on feature — because nothing pairs with burger damage like a cold, no-BS classic

📍 Dine in or take it home
(But if you’re doing it right… there will be napkins everywhere and zero dignity left)

If your Monday ends clean…
you missed the point.

Sunday Report — Lily, reporting from the front window

I have been at my post since 10:45. Jersey on. Snacks staged. Nobody has turned on the pregame.

Something is off.

Staff status as of this writing:

Chef B is doing something in the kitchen. I asked what. He said "something." The door is closed. I have concerns.

Kari went red this week and has checked the bar mirror eleven times since open. She says she loves it. Her face is filing a different report. For the record, it looks good. I do not lie. I am a pug.

Dave was last seen walking toward the b**r cooler forty minutes ago. He has not come back out. We are choosing to believe this is inventory.

Also, no Captain Ron. His stool is empty. No Bloody Mary order has come in. Dave hasn't said a word about it, but he has not stopped smiling either. This may explain the cooler.

And there is a kid on the line I have never seen before. Answers to "Karson." Very confident. Mentioned his driver's license twice. Nobody asked. As former Head of Recruiting, I was not consulted. Who is this Karson kid?

Kitchen's open, taps are flowing, and I'm holding this window until somebody explains what's going on.

Busy week at the Creek. Now we gear up for the weekend.

For the record, the Crook of the Great Crust Caper remains at large. Leads are cold. Crumbs are inconclusive. I've personally cleared myself of all suspicion.

Elsewhere, Kari went red, Chef B learned which towel goes where, Kick'n Cancer in the Creek went live, and the kitchen built an entire weekend menu without consulting me once. Dave still hasn't organized the b**r cooler. Of all the open cases this week, that's the one nobody expects to solve.

🍸 The bar is fully festive: pumpkin, Oktoberfest, c***r, and one last round of summer before it leaves for good. All of it is in the cooler somewhere. Dave will find it eventually.

🍽️ NEW THIS WEEKEND

Gobble Till You Wobble. Thanksgiving in a bowl with Rosie's stuffing. Rosie is Ryan's mom. Nobody touches her recipe. I've been warned twice.
Das Kluck Haus. Pretzel-crusted chicken, Cooper and Swiss, crispy kraut, and Dijon horsey on a pretzel bun. A pretzel on a pretzel. Efficient.
Cape Crab. Two cod filets packed with crab stuffing over a Maryland lemon beurre blanc with a hint of Old Bay. Something hidden inside something else. I respect the technique.
Shell Raiser. Clams and mussels in Fra Diavolo over linguine. Bring a napkin. Unlike crust, shells leave evidence.

🎗️ The Cure, The Survivor, and The Fighter are back through Kick'n Cancer in the Creek on October 22, and pink ribbons are a dollar at the bar. Year nine. Of everything here, those are the ones to order.

Thursday. Sandwich Night. Also, football.

15% off all sandwiches. Coors Light is $3 for a 22oz draft and $6 a pitcher.

The Great Crust Investigation closed yesterday. No arrests. The lead investigator was unavailable for comment due to a nap.

Kari's on the bar. Chef B's in the kitchen with two towels: a kitchen rag and his Terrible Towel. The Terrible Towel is for waving, and the rag is for everything else. I asked if there's a Browns towel. He said it's in the bathroom.

I don't know what that means. Nobody will explain it to me. Kari just laughed.

Steelers vs. Browns. $1 wings during the game (3 wing minimum, dine-in only).

I'm told this is the biggest rivalry in football. Everyone in the building has told me, loudly. My biggest rivalry is the vacuum.

The kitchen stays open until at least halftime. After that, Chef B watches like a civilian.

CANCER SUCKS.

Plain and simple. It brings pain, anger, doubt, hopelessness, and so much more. In our lifetimes, cancer may touch every one of us.

But cancer is NOT going to win. Not today, not tomorrow… NEVER.

Last year, we handed Team Sandy's Sweet Shoppe a $3,000 check. Over eight years, the team has raised over $36,000 for the American Cancer Society. This is year nine, and our goal is $4,000, enough to push us past $40,000 all-time!

We know budgets are tight right now. But cancer doesn't wait for a good year, and many people fight it quietly, without ever announcing it. Every dollar counts, whether it's a $1 ribbon, a cocktail, or a seat at Kick'n Cancer in the Creek.

This October, we're pouring THREE cocktails for the cause:

🎗️ "The Fighter" (apple and cranberry) is for those battling right now with all their might, s***k, and spirit.

🎗️ "The Survivor" (cranberry and raspberry) honors those who have won their battle and stand as a beacon of hope.

🎗️ "The Cure" (strawberry, mint, and lime) is in memory of those whose battle was too fierce. We stand united in their honor and keep searching for the cure.

We're also selling pink ribbons at the bar for $1 each, with all proceeds going to Relay For Life. Let's turn the Creek House PINK! (The ribbons are pink because it's October and we like to match. The fight covers every cancer, every color.)

On Thursday, October 22, starting when we open, we're giving the floor to Sandy's Sweet Shoppe for Kick'n Cancer in the Creek! Expect a hometown comfort food menu, drinks, raffles, prize baskets, and a silent auction. All proceeds go straight to the team.

This team hits close to home for me. Ricki Evans and I went to high school together. She lost her sister to cancer, and shortly after, her mother was diagnosed. Ricki has been an outspoken voice for Relay For Life ever since, and we're proud to stand beside her and her team.

YOU are not ALONE in this FIGHT.
We will engage…
We will embrace…
And we will WIN.

Let's kick CANCER in the CREEK and SHATTER OUR GOAL!

Till we Raise our Glasses Again.
– Ryan

Crust Division. Final Report.

Every regular interviewed. Every alibi reviewed. Findings:

Kari: New red hair. Controls the bar. Dropping it.
Patrick: The getaway e-bike never got away.
Braden: Still his own only witness.
Rex: Alfredo man. Says he doesn't need crust. Nobody needs crust. That's not the point.
Randy: Pointed at Rex in four seconds. Loyal to no one.
Nikki: Orders a pizza that's entirely crust. Released on a technicality.
Gary: Still "around."
Denis: Here every day. So is the worm. Both under observation.
Substitution Judy: Denies substituting the crust. Denies the menu exists.
Russ "The Firecracker": Accomplice by marriage.
The gluten free table: Declined to comment. Wise.

Conclusion: Everyone had a motive. Nobody had the crust.

The case is officially closed. Unsolved. Please stop asking.

Pizza is 20% off every Wednesday. Crust included. For now.

Crust Division, Interview #4. The pizza night regulars. I saved them for last because every good investigation ends with the ringleader.

LILY: State your name for the record.
JUDY: Judy.
LILY: That's not what they call you.
JUDY: …Substitution Judy.
LILY: And why do they call you that?
JUDY: Because I order what I want.
LILY: Judy, you order things that aren't on the menu.
JUDY: They should be.
LILY: Did you, at any point this evening, substitute the crust?
JUDY: I don't know what you're implying.
LILY: I'm implying the crust is gone and you're the only person in this building who treats a menu like a suggestion.

LILY: Russ. "The Firecracker."
RUSS: That's me.
LILY: Where were you when the crust disappeared?
RUSS: Right next to Judy.
LILY: So you're her accomplice.
RUSS: I'm her husband.
LILY: In this building, that's the same thing.

LILY: And the rest of the table?
JUDY: They declined to be interviewed.
LILY: On what grounds?
JUDY: They're gluten free.
LILY: So they have an airtight alibi and a clear motive. They hate crust.
JUDY: They don't hate it, they just can't have it.
LILY: That's what they want you to think.

Everyone at this table raised their hands when I walked in. I didn't ask a question yet. That's called a guilty conscience.

The Crust Division has now interviewed every regular in the building. Everyone has an alibi. Nobody has the crust. And somehow, I'm the only one here with crumbs on my face.

The case remains open. Pizza is 20% off, but Judy will be ordering something that doesn't exist.
