Hi Dave,


DD> Gabby's quit all but drive-thru during the covid crisis and never went
DD> back to inside service. They used to have the best thin-crust pizza in

RH> "New and improved" isn't always so. The "old and still the same" can be
RH> just as good, if not better, for most people. Owner may be thinking
RH> that the new will make more money but if it's not as good as the old,
RH> it won't.

DD> My motto is "Dance with who brung you!"

Works 99.99% of the time.

DD> contact with one of the kitchen supervisors who ran the kitchen
DD> pre-pandemic. He'll do well.

RH> As long as he hires good help.

DD> I predict that he will. All of his staff at Charlie Parker's - with
DD> the exception of one "new hire" who was caught adding unauthorised
DD> tips to
DD> credit cards. I was one of those who was got. She added a U$5 tip to
DD> an U$8.89 tab. It was easy to spot since I never tip via plastic.
DD> Always
DD> on the table. And always in my "wairess bait" format. Gold dollar
DD> coins, half-dollar coins and U$2 bills. Gets me remembered favourably
DD> and I get sparkling service on sbsequent visits.  Bv)=

Fun to give--and get--those kind of tips. Good thing the new hire was
caught, hopefully before much damage was done.

DD>      8<----- CHOP ----->8


RH> My basic beef stew is meat, onion, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms and
RH> tomatoes. Other add ins, if in the fridge include celery, turnip or
RH> parsnips. The tomato is usually in the form of sauce, as part of the
RH> liquids. A splash of red wine adds some depth to the flavor without
RH> overpowering other flavors.

DD> Maybe it's my taster. But I couldn't determine any difference in that
DD> recipe.

It's a very subtle taste, probably Michael would have picked it up but
not us "average tasters".
