Since the Astros went “roaring” into the playoffs, I figured this would be a good time to talk a little about the baseball tree. The way I remember it is that this was a prototype for one that ended up in the Astrodome. Hoffhienz and my dad were friends so he gave this one to my dad. My dad then putt the wall paper on a sheetrock wall, at our house, in the late 60s. It remained there till last year. I thought it would be a great addition to the restaurant but getting it off the wall, downstairs, and framed was no easy task. I managed to pull it off and now it hangs at the restaurant. People have had some funny déjà vu moments when they look at it and swear they’ve seen it before. I’ve tried to find a picture of the one that ended up in the Astrodome but I haven’t been able to find it so if anybody happens to have a picture, I would love to see it.

The chicken sandwich: When we started we thought the chicken sandwich would be a good complementary sandwich to the burger but we were selling about 20 burgers to every chicken. Since we were in a food truck we decided to pull it but now that we are in a brick and mortar it’s nice to see it getting some props. We developed our dredge over time, but that’s only part of the equation, we pound out chicken thighs and brine them which gives it an internal flavor and broadens the overall experience. The brine is pretty heavy with lemons and herbs which comes through in the end. We also offer it as a grilled option which wouldn’t be nearly as good without the brine. It’s pretty standard other than our house pickles and house sauce.

We’ll be experimenting with pizza again tonight. Here’s a picture of one from last night.  I don’t remember all the toppings on this one, but it definitely has our homemade pizza sauce, mortadella, squash blossom, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

We are open for lunch today from 10 to 2 and 6 till 10 for dinner. This weekend is going to be an experimental weekend for pizza. Small pizzas and unique toppings. This is the only picture I have of some of the things we’ve been playing around with.

Let’s talk hamburgers. When we decided we were going to do a diner based restaurant we knew we needed a good burger. Burgers are a wide open field. I can’t really remember all the details of how he settled on this recipe, but I do remember we liked the flavor of ground brisket then we started adding bacon. This was hard to practice at home so the first few months we were open , in the food truck , we were adjusting the recipe. Basically what we settled on is we cut the deckle fat out of the brisket and replace it with hickory smoked bacon and then we mix in a meat binder, which helps hold it together and add texture to the smashed patty.  In true diner fashion we smash the patties between two pieces of paper and slap them on the griddle to order. Also, in true diner fashion, we only have two burgers on the menu - a classic burger and a patty melt.

I’m going to start posting more about what’s going on at the restaurant and hopefully answer some questions you may have, like why aren’t we open more? The answer is that putting out high quality food is our #1 priority and we need the staff to do that, which is happening. So this weekend we are expanding our hours. We will be open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night. The menu will be limited but we will add to it as we feel like we can maintain quality and train people to take over. Another question is “ why is this so darn good?” In the next few days I’ll address that by taking each dish one at a time and explaining the process we went through to get to a finish product and probably give out a few recipes. I hope you are having a good day and thank you!

We have a few additions to the menu this week! For brunch tomorrow and Sunday, we have smoked Cornish game hen dipped in Alabama white sauce and smoked spareribs served with our pineapple barbecue sauce. If you had either one of them at the food truck, they’re finally here. All I have are old photos, these are from the food truck, tomorrow we will be serving it with homemade cornbread.
