The New Year...

Just realized I haven't posted a darn thing on here since July. Not my intention. I don't want to make excuses but opening a restaurant and having a new baby has taken it's toll not to mention lack of sleep :) I promise I'll get this back on track as long as you all read and respond. No point to do this blog if not. So here we go...
Well, we have all survived the opening of Fat Cam's, made it through fall and into the new year. We had a fabulous 2012 and 2013 promises to be very exciting for us.

Personally, Charlotte has been SUCH A JOY in our lives. What a kid! She amazes all of us with every laugh, snort, step and cry. She'll be 10 months old this January. Where the time went I don't know. All I know is we couldn't do this without the amazing support system we have including our staff, family and friends. Hopefully "Little Charlie's" will become an addition to Fat Cam's in the near future. (Remember the old salon next to the building)? We have plans for that place!

Professionally I feel we have done quite well. What an experience this has been. Every day is a new challenge and a new day. We do our best not take take work home with us. It's not always easy for any of us. We truly have an amazing crew, and they make this place what it is. All restaurants go through up and downs and I feel we are lucky to have this crew on this amazing journey. I am so, so proud of each and every one of them. We laugh, we argue, we brainstorm ideas and push it like no other crew out there. For that I am very thankful. I'm just happy that put up with me :)

Fat Cam's, as a business, is doing very well. We had a fantastic opening month, a stellar fall season and a great holiday season. We are really looking forward to spring as we will build and open the patio. Our goal is comfort and that is what we will provide. Nothing else says comfort to us than being outside, drinking an ice cold cocktail on a hot summer day, sitting on a picnic table enjoying a crab, shrimp or crawfish boil by the bucket. I'm sure many of you would agree.
We are looking at more and more options including more sound suppression techniques for inside, live music, new bar tables, new drinks, food options and then some.
So here's to a New Year! Happy 2013 everyone!
Keep updated on our blog as it will turn more food and drink orientated. My goal is at least 1 post per week.
Happy EATING!!!
