We are closed due to a family emergency today. David is currently in the ICU after having a seizure this morning. He is stable and being monitored while they go through testing.

Pictured is David resting with all three of his dogs and one of his two cats. They've been keeping him company while he's been needing his rest lately!

We have some not so great news! We have to raise the regular price for our Slabs but we are keeping our Slab Special price down at $16 to make sure everyone can still have a great Father's Day lunch or dinner!

There has been a whole lot going on for us lately with the family health and being able to fill shifts! It just so happens that we looked at our numbers and discovered(a little late) May was the best month we've had in our 25 year history! Thank you all for the continued support through our hard times!

Hey everyone! We are putting a group together for David with the goal of raising money for research and increasing the awareness of Guillain Barre Syndrome! With this being said David did need an ambulance called for him on Tuesday morning because he was having a "flare up". The amazing folks at Advent Health figured out what he needed and got him set up right so he is at home again! Which is why David's wife Courtney put this group together! If anyone would like to participate, whether it be donating or walking along with us, we would be very grateful and appreciative! Thank you all!

Hey everyone! I set this group up after my husband was diagnosed with GBS back in March of this year!
