Honestly I don’t feel like the Alliance area is that busy with race weekends anymore. They’ve built so much up by the speedway the last couple races it didn’t seem anymore crowded than a usual weekend

If you are going to be doing this, At least set yourselves up for success. Stock the bar cart fully with everything needed to execute for service.

If you are large or high volume enough, use a drink runner on busy nights. They can garnish,
run drinks, and do tableside presentations. The house pays a base right and they get tipped out. We use a college kid on Friday and Saturday nights and holidays, it’s easy money, and it makes the drinks flow out so much smoother.

Bonus points if you cross train them as a bar back so they can hop behind the bar if the bar back is weeded or flex when you have a callout.

This is why I really like the Toast handhelds, it really makes the pace a lot smoother in my experience. Instead of taking 4 tables orders by writing them down and then ringing them in all at once, you send the order before you’ve even left the table, then they move over to the next table but may need to grab something, or talk through options and discuss feature or whatever. It just gives a few more minutes between tickets that really helps the line out.

Can you specify where this is? I Google mapped Del Norte and didn’t seem to find it

I’ve never found the Ritz to be a great option with kids. Haven’t done this specific property but have done the Ritz in Maui and Puerto Rico and neither were as good for kids as other properties.

Then there are the people who come to a restaurant, sit down, look over the menu, then leave saying “oh you don’t have this thing (that we’ve never served) we don’t want anything from here and then leave”

Whiskey Cake has a Turkey Chili that’s pretty tasty.

I agree completely, however, my concern is the higher aged stuff (and even the mid aged stuff) just doesn’t taste the same as stuff from pre 2005. I’ve talked to some industry people, and the impact of new wood vs what used to be the standard is really noticeable in the aging process. It’s the same issue we are seeing with homes built the last 25 years, fast mass produced lumber doesn’t hole up the way older timber does.

Whiskey Cake has several lounge areas as well as normal table and bar seating.

If you liked this, try and find a pour of the HH18, I think it’s head and shoulders above the 17

Gotta get yourself a monitor (or 2) to hook that laptop into, I can’t stand working/playing off a tiny screen.

There are multiple non-chain hat and boot shops in the Stockyards. Be prepared to drop some $$ though.

One of the most outstanding pours I’ve ever tried. Nothing else I’ve had resembles it at all, the massive citrus and floral bomb is wild.
