🔥 THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THERE IS COOKING HAPPENING IN THE SMOKE KITCHEN TODAY. 🔥
And boy, does it smell AMAZING in here. 🤤
Things are moving fast at 64 Beacon Drive. We’ve been holding interviews all week, there’s a crew out front getting the landscaping cleaned up, and today we’re took our newly certified kitchen for its first real test drive.
The equipment is on.
The prep tables are busy.
The kitchen crew is back where they belong.
And wait…what’s that?
Is that the first batch of Smoke cornbread getting mixed up?! 👀
YUM.
After so many months of construction, permits, inspections and waiting, seeing actual food being prepped in this kitchen feels pretty damn incredible.
We’re not quite ready to open those doors yet — there’s still hiring, training and a few final pieces to get into place — but today sure feels like another BIG step toward welcoming Greenville back to Smoke on the Water.
And did we mention THE KITCHEN SMELLS AMAZING?! 😂🔥
We’re getting closer, y’all. ❤️
