It's getting pretty busy now with the holiday season quickly approaching. Stock is starting to arrive, the port Stiltons are soaking, Hastings construction is rocking...lots of stuff going on.The walk-in coolers arrived yesterday. They were assembled by the end of the day. We'll have twice as many freezer display doors at Hastings for soups and entrees than we have at 2nd avenue. That means we can expand the menu over time. The refrigeration will be done just in time, as 2nd avenue is bursting at the seams.
Allison told me about the new mini truffle pecorinos that came today. I didn't get to see them but they sound like a great gift for truffle lovers this season.
