For the third consecutive Friday we have a substantial catering order. I sure would love to see this trend continue. There is now a small, dedicated catering menu that helps The Flying Banzini deliver large orders (lunch for 50 to 100 people) efficiently and affordably. From the restaurants perspective, this is fantastic because it represents sales that occur outside of our normal hours. The catering order is made up just prior to opening so the lunch rush is not affected and our in-house customers are still able to get their meals quickly.

Most happily, the windows are open again. At least as much as possible. I love the appeal of my restaurant with the windows open. Love love love. Finally some nice weather.

I try to write a short entry most days, Monday to Friday. I muse about the emotion of being a restaurant owner and I also use this space to interact with my customers. If you have anything you would like to know about, please ask. I will be happy to offer my thoughts or answer any questions about anything.

Follow The Flying Banzini on Twittter: @FlyingBanzini. You will get a mishmash of quotes, historical tidbits, music, and, of course, stuff to do with the restaurant.

Every Friday, one new Twitter follower or Facebook like gets lunch/dinner for two.

Much thanks for your support. Word of mouth matters more than anything. I am grateful that you care enough about my restaurant (good or bad) to have taken the time to read this blog.
