I guess that does seem odd! We're a QSR (aka fast food - with drive-thru), so our sales are up! We were built for this. Supply chain for people, food and equipment was a challenge, but we got it done (had to deal with vendors tell us, no Roast Beef, no Burger...) Thankfully our director of purchasing is awesome and he kept us in business with minimal interruption (unlike Wendys - out of burgers).

Very nice restoration Al, as usual. It is unfortunate that life takes us away from the important things like refurbishing pipes isn't it?

Best of luck too on the two restaurants! Before you said drive thru, I thought you would have opened a pub or something called "The Polished Bowl" or "The Stem and Shank"
