Old Memories, New Beginnings
A few weekends ago, we tore up the old red side and began the process of closing it down for good. Throughout the few weeks prior, people kept asking me if I was sad. And not even trying to be smart, I would ask, ‘Sad about what?’ They of course, were referring to the closing of an era. It hadn’t crossed my mind.

This was on Friday night, Saturday night, who texts me and calls me out of the blue for the first time in 6 months?
A 3 Burger Christmas
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I’m not sure what’s on the menu tonight to be honest, but 2 weeks ago, I had quite a memorable dining experience. We were out with another couple, a new client from Flemington and his wife. We went to one of our favorite hangouts, the Dunellen Hotel, and wouldn’t you know it, Coach Mike was there with his crew, sitting right next to us. Our table was BSing for quite a while and when it finally came time to put the order in, I decided to ord
