New menus are almost done… few little wrinkles to work out. They look good… any more additions and either we will have to go to a second page or use a smaller font. There are 17 specialty pizzas…. The chili cheese dog pizza will be omitted from the new menu and will run on occasional special… We just don’t sell enough to justify the expense of the case of hot dogs…

Ribs… Still working on getting a reliable and cost effective source… we should get samples this week… they won’t be added to the menu till next time around… Depending on how they sell…

The Mobster…. The sweet potato roll is really great.. Sandwiches came out Friday… These will be available at lunch only for a while. This grinder sandwich is really delicious… I hope to sell quite a few this time around.

Delivery till midnight… Friday and Saturday only for now, We’ll see what sort of difference this makes.

We didn’t get too ambitious on the board this week… Its just Cy and Herky facing each other… No words or anything. I try to be a week ahead on a diagram for the board. This week I wasn’t.

In Juice again… This week we were listed as number 7 on their list of 10 cool things to do in Ames… Very exciting.

Food reviews… Every Sunday evening My family and I go out to dinner. something new each week is what we aim for. So…. I think as we do this I’m going to write reviews. This week for 9/9/09 restaurants.com ran a 90% off special… We got a couple coupons for some places we had never heard of… We went to Tic Toc in Boone for an early dinner on Sunday…. Nice place .. Great food … We will go their again. Spaghetti was excellent, Steak was perfect. Service was great… The only thing for me I personally didn’t like was the bar in the middle of the dining room. I just think a bar should have it’s own space. It’s a small matter.. We will return is the bottom line. I recommend Tic Toc… They do serve pizza also… never tried it. But I will when I return.

The week before, We went to dinner at a little place in Ankeny called Bandannas…. This was one of the best BBQ places I’ve ever eaten at. The ribs were great… I didn’t even sauce them up. The kids were all happy. They had some deep fried corn that was exceptional. I highly recommend this place to BBQ enthusiasts.

OK, so I’m done with my blog today…

We make great pizza… We love doing it… We have the best sevice

Until next week… Greg and the Black Market Mobsters
