2 Days in the Valley...

I spent last night helping out with the dinner rush at the Deli.  It was pretty busy for a Tuesday night which was really encouraging, and I enjoyed meeting some of the deli's regular customers.  I am completely astounded by the variety of food that was sold.  The special was oven roasted chicken with dumplings and gravy, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and a slice of carrot cake.  We had sold out of chicken by closing.  But, we also had orders for fried chicken, grilled sandwiches, meatloaf dinners, Chicago Style hot dogs, hot beef and gravy over mashed potatoes, pasta salads, and more.  Although it was hectic, it still seemed to flow pretty well.

After spending some time there trying to cook and serve the customers, one of our bigger challenges is going to be space.
