What better day to start a Restaurant Equipment Blog than 4th of July! We are open today so I'll have to defer to slinging equipment and answering phones that call to me. My hopes that all have a great holiday that is prosperous and happy- Connie, One Fat Frog

Happy Independents’ Day!

Yes, the spelling above is correct. I mean just that: independent food service operators, owners and those who work for them. This week, July 1st to 7th is National Independent’s Week. It’s that time of the year to celebrate the backbone of the restaurant and food services industry. I am referring to those outlets totally independent of the big corporate chains. These are the ‘Mom and Pop’, ‘Chef-owned’ and operated restaurants, haute cuisine, white table cloth, bistros, cafés, roadhous… Continue

People make fortunes in economic downturns a… Continue

THE RESTAURANT BLOGGER STRIKES AGAIN !

I've been a Contributing Editor and writing for Howard's unique publication for more than eight years now. I finally decided to add to those thoughts with my own blog. It's called Restaurant Marketing Journal.com; and it's chock full of good stuff for independent food service operators who are really under the gun these days. We know about the lousy economy, the ridiculous gas prices (now it's "staycations" that are in vogue!) and the escalating food costs....whew! The idea is to give t… Continue
