Website Changes

I made some website changes this weekend. Here they are listed out:
  • Updated the Catering section to reflect our current pricing and catering brochure, which is also available for download in PDF format
  • Added the ability to leave a voice testimonial. You can now click a button on the website, enter your phone number (you can keep it private if you want) and you will get a call and the opportunity to leave a voice message commenting on your experience with our food/catering/etc. Your comments may appear on our website for others to hear.
  • "Human" form submission verification. I was starting to receive automated form submissions from robots on the contact and feedback forms, so I've included a simple math question that a person must answer in the forms before the submission will be accepted. Don't worry, you won't have to break out the calculator!
That's about it. More changes to come in the future. If you have any ideas you would like to see incorporated on the site, let us know.

180 lbs of brisket flats

Some friends of ours got married this past weekend and they hired us to smoke brisket for their reception. They provided the meat and we smoked and delivered it to their reception. This is only the second time I loaded the Ole Hickory completely full of product. It took me 3 hours to prep the 22 brisket flats (I was interrupted a few times) and a little over 2 hours for me and my emloyee to slice it all. Here are a few pictures I snapped with my phone of the meat.

New Location

We've finally moved into our new location at Republic and Fremont. It
should be much easier for everyone to get in and out of. I didn't get
the trailer moved into position until late Monday night which put me
behind for getting everything ready for Tuesday, so we will be closed
Tuesday. We will be back open on Wednesday. Come out and see us at our
new spot!
