Though the lunch menu will be changed a
little by jettisoning a few hot sandwiches for now, he's keeping the
three of his most popular: the
pulled pork, the chicken di, and the ribeye. But the good news is he's
adding burgers! Yes, and fries, too. And also onion rings which he

“[The dinner menu will be] the stuff that got me into cooking.
Meatloaf, steak, fried chicken. Think classic American. Minimal use of
