Looks awesome! 
Thanks Kurt!Looks awesome!
Oooops I think I said Nov. 17th...I guess it's really Friday the 16th!
That will tell you where my mind is. We are all excited and nervous. Kelly, Cathy (she likes to be called Cate now) and Chris will be our wait staff, of course! We are so lucky to have such a great staff. Bear is back in the kitchen with Doug. (With a few new faces to come.) They have worked right along side us during this long metamorphosis. It is beautiful inside....you'll think you're in New Orleans overlooking the Gulf!!!
Jamie Landreneau and I traveled the streets, shops, and galleries of the Quarter bringing it here to Grayton Beach. While back at the cafe Doug and Kelly worked hard at it painting, hammering, sanding, sawing, and so much more! Cate's run errands, cleaned, cleaned and cleaned again after all the mess that's been made. Chris has been back for a week with us working non stop to make everything just right.
Doug, Jamie and myself all have roots in New Orleans. So we've now gone full circle!
Got to run.....:clap_1: Yeeeeeaaaaa! We're almost there!!!!

THANKS SO MUCH! AS WE (THE STAFF) ALL SAT AROUND A TABLE GOING OVER THE MENU IT WAS TORTURE. WE WERE ALL SO HUNGRY!!!!! IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE DOUG AND I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET BACK TO OUR SPECIALTIES. FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT WE WILL DO MOST OF THE MENU...MAYBE ONE LESS DESSERT AND ONE LESS APP AND ENTREE. IT WILL BE TRIAL BY FIRE THESE NEXT WEEKS. I HOPE EVERYONE WILL REALIZE THAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE US A LITTLE WHILE TO FEEL SURE EVERYTHING IS GOING SMOOTHLY IN THE KITCHEN AND OUT ON THE FLOOR. I DON'T KNOW IF
YOU CAN EVER FEEL SURE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT WE'LL TRY.CROSS YOUR FINGERS FOR ALL OF US.
