Detailmania

The devil is in the details. Whoever said that must have bought a used, abused Oklahoma-health dept.-certified concession trailer in the middle of a snow-laden winter and tried to bring said trailer up to Arkansas health dept. standards in time for an early spring event. I'm here to say they got it right.

Sitting here in the midst of our third major snowstorm this season, we have a week of electrical, plumbing and installation chores to do before our scheduled inspection in three days, and not to belabor the point, but it's been some struggle to get here. If all goes well with the inspection we will turn our undivided attention to the "finish line" (read: opening date), optimistically located less than two weeks from now at the International First Friday event in Downtown Bentonville on April 2. Many things left to do on that front, too, including business card and banner printing, final decisions about opening day menu items and how to package them, etc, etc, etc.

However, it is decidedly within the realm of possibility that we make it. We intend to do our level best to be cranking out some crepes come early April. Stay posted...

Oh, and by the way, above-mentioned trailer now has a name. Will reveal in next blog....

  1. I had the exquisite pleasure of one of your raspberry crepes at First Friday on April, 2. I had no idea that you were just starting this business up, it was all so professional! I was the girl with green face paint from ChromaArt Face Painting across the park. Hope to see you at other events and try some equally delicious crepes!

  2. So glad to hear you liked it, Abby. I remember you, even though I had my nose in the griddle--I'm still so new to crepe-making, so it requires all my concentration at this point! Yes, we'll be at the Farmer's Market in Bentonville starting April 24. Looking forward to serving you many crepes in the future and seeing what fantastic face art you're sporting!
