POST #1 of a series called "You Can Do That Yourself" . So, the little standoff posts on your prep stations that hold your cutting boards in place are a nightmare if they get loose or even worse finally break off. This tool kit is maybe $15 and will save you having to call a repair guy. It comes with clear instructions for various models and enough to fix 12 posts!! Save your bucks and gain some agency over your equipment!!

CRULLERS are ready!! Don't be sleeping on these!! Chef Angela, Angela Torres puts all the love into these!!

Also did you know we officially make our own lox now!! Fresh whole salmon sourced from Hagens Fish Market weekly and prepped by our amazing Chef Matt!! Ever increasing costs pushed us off of our old lox fillets ($19.50/lb was our wholesale cost!!, yeesh!!) onto lox trim which was more affordable but just not quite right for us. Having someone with the knowledge of fish prep and lox making is a game changer!! Today will be our last day of lox trim. By tomorrow we will be fully into house made sliced lox fillets.
