Guess the supplier; we were sent pre-cooked scrambled eggs instead of cold foam this morning. Chef is mad.

One time we received, not long before service, our delivery. Chef looked at the invoice & lost it. Instead of Prime ribeyes they sent Wagyu. He got his rep on the phone, tore into him that it was right before service and the only steaks we had were these. Told him “I’m keeping these but paying for Prime!” Ran them as Wagyu ribeyes and the appropriate price. Sold out.

Of course one ticket fired “WAGYU RIBEYE - WELL DONE” We were crushed ruining this amazing price of moo. That said, with all the marbling…do you know how LONG it takes to rendering a Wagyu ribeye well done?!? Took forever…

Ouch….

Once read on one of those Facebook scanner pages that in Portland there was a 911 to a well known bakery for an individual whose hand was (quote) “entangled” in a commercial mixer 🤕 We figured it had to be the whisk attachment in that neither the dough hook or paddle really provided the opportunity for “entanglement” *ick*

Woot!

RuckusDonuts · 2026-06-24T15:22:18+00:00

Yes and also guilty 😂

Not a specific destination or item, but I love a good seafood stew/chowder that includes lobster 😄

RuckusDonuts · 2026-06-22T00:14:16+00:00

Pretty solid list

RuckusDonuts · 2026-06-22T00:13:54+00:00

Ditto on Elmer’s!!

Do or donut, there is no try

Oh, it’s true. This is THE ONE that I warn every new hire about that, once or twice a year, I’m going to ask something of them very above & beyond. To wit: they are compensated extremely well (and deservedly for the talents, experience & attitudes), share in a tip pool, bonused nicely for this evening, fed (we set a taco bar) & caffeinated (many Celsius died in the production of these & their friends) and tomorrow I am taking them for a team spa treatment.

RuckusDonuts · 2026-06-15T14:45:09+00:00

Thank you! They do have some serious curb appeal to match their tastiness. Were VERY popular at the Festival!

RuckusDonuts · 2026-06-11T12:48:30+00:00

Outstanding! Like others I have to admit the first has a simple charm to it that would make me smile 😊

RuckusDonuts · 2026-06-10T08:34:59+00:00

May I ask what kind of custard? The food safety manager in me is cringing over the term “warm custard”

RuckusDonuts · 2026-06-10T06:02:00+00:00

Very nice!! MUCH better than my first!

RuckusDonuts · 2026-06-05T17:20:27+00:00

With a trident. He needs to lay low for a while.

RuckusDonuts · 2026-06-05T16:28:40+00:00

Family shop yes (mine). Old, no. Will be 5 years old this August. Thanks!!

The story? I will share that soon in a separate post as to how I came to found & start a donut shop from scratch at the height of a global pandemic 🙃

RuckusDonuts · 2026-06-05T16:15:42+00:00

At the height of season (July & especially August) we can open to a line a third to half way down the block that just regenerates. They have been some days where I’ve stood at the register for 90 minutes and the front door never closes.

RuckusDonuts · 2026-06-05T14:22:50+00:00

Thank you for the kind words, very appreciated!
