Big Daddy J's 5 Great Things

Hahaha! I love it! Well thank you for the awesome review, the writing has me grinning. It’s really fantastic! I’ve been a part of many different projects in the food business. I started as dishwasher at Perkins at 14, and worked every single position in the back and the front of house, in a plethora of different restaurants. It has given me the food knowledge to create, name, build, and come up with all this stuff. Putting a mad scientists dreams come to life I guess! I understand the Beef O Brady’s thoughts as well. Covid was my first opportunity to “buy low” to get my foot in the door as an owner myself. So Beefs it was. What a fantastic move. The community surrounding was such a fantastic group. THEY gave me the support to even make 5 Great Things a reality. Take your stepping stones, be grateful, take it one day at a time was the plan. You mention Thania, boy she’s a super stud huh? I worked with her nearly a decade ago along with my current partner Shawn in Colorado. They both came out to work with me. MY STAFF AT BOTH PLACES ARE INCREDIBLE. They ARE ALL the reason we are here. There is not a day that goes by that I do not praise or thank them. I work shoulder to shoulder with them daily. It’s OUR creation, our baby. We have a group that genuinely cares about what goes out in front of you. We don’t skip steps. Each batch of cheese is cold smoked, each piece of biscuit bread is hand stirred, the turkey brine simmered. We painstakingly go through this stuff because we really love what we do. We believe in the product, we believe in the atmosphere, and we believe in our town. My head chef Walter has got our kitchen in tip top shape and that allows us to keep creating new, exciting, fun dishes daily. I’m absolutely overjoyed you loved our place! In the end, we’re really just a bunch of fun-loving, misfit, knuckleheads that pull it together for service. It’s what we know. We were tired of the same old frozen bags of processed boo boo that seem to frequent many places. Our plan is to expand in the future, so we hope your random “restaurant picker” finds us again! You’ve made a small staffs day my friend, so THANK YOU. Jes Ps. We’re gonna get that half star one day;)
