Memorial Day weekend was a success and we were so pleased to see so many local and summer residents, and quite a few vacationers, too. Many thanks to all who stopped by for lunch and dinner! It was a foodie-sentimental experience to see those pizzas pulled from the oven for the first time this season and to smell a hint of wood smoke in the air. Those pizzas were missed all winter. And Paul's wood-roasted chicken pesto sandwiches are amazing. The chicken itself is incredibly flavorful thanks, in part, to the way it is slow roasted in the wood-fired oven, but also because the chicken is locally-raised. There is a huge difference in quality.
We had a few issues with our new POS, but we have the kinks worked out and are looking forward to tomorrow. Today, we had a magazine photographer stop by, Paul worked on a few new items for the menu, and just in: Mickey is officially back in town to work with Paul. We know it's going to be a great summer with him around the H&V.
Many thanks to Ellie for training in our two new employees, Julia and Melissa. Though we will miss Ellie, we know she'll have a great time managing the new Chico's that opens in Traverse City in June. Good luck, Ellie! And welcome, Julia and Melissa!
