Outside, Catering and Dad’s Day

Friday, June 13th, 2008

Ok, tables are out so come join us on the patio. I’m meeting tonight with an A/C installer so lets keep our fingers crossed. The last two have been no shows so lets see how this one works out. Thanks for your patience we tried to get this done before hot weather hit but it didn’t work out.

Got a smattering of T-shirt coupons last week I guess I think more of my T shirts than you guys do.

June is Here

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

As you all know I have been trying to get table set up outside which starts with taking down the front cover. Well it doesn’t look like the weathers going to cooperate this weekend again although I am planning on removing the front cover. So let’s wish for good weather.

Well since I didn’t get any entries for the T-Shirt contest the first week I guess I’m going to be able to save myself some money. How easy is it to download an entry blank and bring it in? I had several people tell me the saw it and didn’t down load it well here’s your chance to do it again.

Weekly Update | Email signup and T-Shirts

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Sorry there was no blog last week got a little busy with catering jobs and found out at my age I now have allergies so I was a little wiped out.

Several of you have been stating that you have not been receiving your weekly emails. There can be several reasons for this, One of which is that you wrote like a 2nd grader when you filled out your card and I couldn’t read your writing. And second I entered it wrong when I turned it in to Bill the web builder. If you give me another card I will reenter your email address, and problem solved.
Please Don’t Write Like A 2nd Grader! Tell your friends to go here, and sign themselves up!

The five T-shirt winners have all picked up their shirts but so far no Pix of them wearing them I will bring a camera in this week to do it my self. So that you know they really exist.

Not many of you are taking advantage of the $1.00 off coupon on Friday nights And Victor is beginning to take it personally. He is temperamental like that.
Friday Night Dinners Are Great If You Like Breakfast You’ll Love Dinners Come See Us You Wont Be Disappointed.

I’m Contemplating Another T-Shirt Give Away But Bill Tells Me A lot Of You Guys Aren’t Opening The Weekly Menus Or Reading My Insightful Blog Don’t Make Me Take Drastic Measures.

Also as I stated in my last blog you’re doing a great job ordering Nature Bowls the servers are pissed because they have had to make so many… keep up the good work (:

Chat Next Week,

10 Years of James Brown’s Place

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Well lets get started with the items of importance! The Five T-shirt winners have been selected. If you didn’t turn in your name for the drawing, it’s your own fault. Winners will be listed in next weeks update and our web site news. Congrats to our five winners for those of you that didn’t enter “Sucks To Be You”.

May 1st is our Ten Year Anniversary, no applause - just come in to eat, really not sure what to do. Probably be doing lots of menu specials or maybe more t-shirt give a ways. When I decide, i’ll tell you. Celebration? We will celebrate all month with Cinco de Mayo menu items, anniversary lunch specials. Help me come up with ideas, I can use the help. Email me back or stop in. (more…)

Don’t Forget - We have Dinner Every Friday Night

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

For those of you that didn’t know we serve dinners on Friday nights.

As an incentive for you to come in and give us a try we are offering a $1.00 off coupon on any of “Victors’ Friday Dinner Specials”. Just sign up for our weekly e-newsletter. That’s a dollar off each e-mail addressee. Not bad.

For those of you that don’t know my Friday night cook is Victor Molina. Thus the Victor of the Friday Dinner Specials. Victor has worked his way up thru the ranks here at J.B.P. to become an integral part of the restaurants cook staff.

He is responsible for all the great homemade breads we have on our menu and most of the soups. When you come in on Friday nights make sure to say Hi toVictor.

P.S. He has the pony tail.

Air Condition

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

Just wanted to give you an update on our air conditioning status and outside seating for the upcoming summer season.

You will all be happy to know that we have been given a six ton unit that we hope to have installed before the hot weather hits. If there are any of you out there in the AIR CONDITION business or can recommend someone who is… we are looking for deals. I want to thank all of our loyal customers who have suffered through the summer heat with our old AC systems, but when I purchased the two units,  at the tune of $5000.00 four years ago I was told they were strong enough to keep the place cool, as we all know, that was wrong. I Promise this summer will be a lot more comfortable at The Restaurant. Please send me an email if you know someone who can help get this new equiptment installed and pumping cool air.

I Hope to have the front protective cover down and outside seating by the first of May.  But as we all know that depends on the weather or more importantly the winds which can reek havoc on the patio.

Don’t forget about us on Friday nights I know you would rather be upon the lake, but our patio is pretty nice in the summer
