My friday- worked my ass off cleaning and scrubbing the new floor of the restaurant...getting all the tables and everything set...hearing we open on Tuesday...cracking up at the quips of some colourful new employees...
Having an old chef suprise me by making me some black Keow Neow Gati with the custard (we actually don't serve the custard, this was a special personal touch...I almost started sobbing) like she knows I like it...and me tearing up because I was so touched by the gesture and literally overwhelmed by the realization that after all of this time, the place is back, my family is going to be ok, and that all is well in my little world again.
Having another chef cook me and my buddy the head server Ben some kick ass panang curry before we left, and chowing down so hard at his house (we didn't have any rice cooked at the 'kok so we had to take it with us to fix up) that I felt like I was going to pop...and then watching that new "Human Weapon" thing on Discovery and laughing at Sityongthong's fighter playfully tap that dude, while drinking small cheap bottles of Ste. Chappelle. (which oddly enough went pretty well with Panang...a little on the sweet side, but it cut some of the spice, which is nice because my tolerance has gone to hell on a diet of cheeseburgers and burritos)
...This is going to be insane. We have a whole new waitstaff (not to mention...a few menu changes, including some really really cool lunch items, which aren't thai, but look dank as hell- bahn mi sandwiches, seared tuna melts w/ gruyeure cheese...etc) with the exception of Ben, and another guy who'll probably **** up in a week (long story, he's on automatic probation for work), my little brother and myself.
We're going to try to do a quiet opening because of this...but who knows if word travels fast throughout the valley...we might get our asses handed to us. Either way...I couldn't be more anxious and excited.
The rebirth of Bangkok Thai...Bangkok Thai-Talay.
We will kick ass and take names.
If you're ever in SLC, PM me...come by and contribute to my college fund...and then maybe we'll have a few rounds at the bar a few blocks down after my shift!
Goddam, hearing about your restaraunt is making my freaking mouth water!!
Me too. I tried some of the new items today...oh my God!
So good.
I am fucking freaked about tomorow...if it's slammed, we have a greenhorn waitstaff and we'll have our asses handed to us. If it's slow... that's not good either.
Here in UT, the 24th is also a holliday, so everything's kinda up in the air. I'm so worried about this. We're in an odd financial situation, and we've put so much blood, sweat, and tears into this whole thing- only to be met with disappointments, setbacks, getting fucked by contractors and suppliers, and general drama...that I almost don't believe it when things begin to finally go right.
Keep us in your prayers. The next month or so should be really interesting.
Last weekend is going to be hard to top but I've got some fun stuff planned. Tonight, watch a movie and make a move on some romance, saturday morning........got a breakfast date at the pancake house then teaching a private lesson, then overseeing a purple belt test. Sunday, I got a one hour massage appt, the rest of the day is chores. I need me a retreat or a vacation. What's on tap with you?

Went partner dancing with some friends for a few hours at a restaraunt that turns into a club, then ened up at a pub just to say hi to some other friends.
I freakin' love tall, hot gals that aren't afraid to dance and do it well.
You ask 100 gals if they wanna dance and they come up with 100 ways of saying no and no. 101 -- the hottest, tallest, best dancer says yes, comes back to ask you to dance with her and gives you her number?
